Berry College afternoon of fun! Ellery wasn't feeling well, but she still wanted to take pictures. We took this at Barnwell chapel in a swing and a tree!

 

The fall weather is here, so we had a fun hike last Sunday afternoon to the Berry reservoir. The girls didn't want to walk the whole way, so at one point we put them both in the stroller together. Who says a single stroller can't hold two! The other picture is from MOPS pumpkin painting today. Ellery enjoyed the outing!

 

Ellery is 4! Saturday was Ellery's birthday, and we planned a fun day for her. She didn't really talk all about her birthday for months on end like Elan did, but when it arrived, she was excited. We started the day by letting her pick breakfast at a drive through. This NEVER happens at our house, but she seemed happy with her Hardees bacon and cheese biscuit. Then we went to Chuck E Cheese and arrived when it opened. After an hour or so of fun, we went to mommy's soccer game. Then we headed home and after Elan returned from another birthday party, we opened presents and had cake. She chose her pool cake from a website online, and mommy made it an ice cream cake. One of the best parts of the whole day was playing with the styrofoam peanuts from a box!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snack week for Ellery--it was "E" week at school, so all snacks started with "E". I did not get a picture of the egg shaped rice Krispies treats, but I did have a picture of elephant ears, Elmo, and eyeballs. What fun!

 

Last week on October 1st, Elan was on fall break so Ellery got to skip school so we could go to the Chattanooga children's museum for a fun day with our friends! Ellery had a great time, and we got some great pictures too!

 

Elan's birthday was fun for the whole family since we had not been to the Pocket all summer. The water was freezing (as always) but Ellery didn't seem to mind. Crazy girl!

 

 

Ellery's first day of school on August 13th. She was excited, and so was Ellia so Ellia had to get in the picture too!

 

Noni and Lito came to visit the end of August and beginning of September, and we went to Home Depot to make a football goal post. Lito was a great help to Ellery! We also enjoyed seeing the water wheel at Berry College.

 

Got quite a bit behind so I am late in posting these and writing this, but these pictures are from Tijuana mission trip July 14th to the 21st. Ellery did well this year, not being quite as shy and interacting a bit with everyone. She was most happy that her babysitter Hailey was along too!
