Looking Good
We made sure Ellabeth was as cute as could be for her first trip to the nursery at church.  The report: "she was the happiest little girl the entire time, but she would get up in other kids faces and scream really excited and scare them."  I guess we need to expose her to more people her age!

Week of Firsts
Ellabeth was so happy to see the washer and dryer arrive that she kissed door.
We decided to 'go green' and get an electric lawn mower.
Ellabeth had tons of fun in her first whirlpool bath!

Our New Friends
In Boston, we had the occasional ant or fly.  It looks like bugs here come in a bigger size!

What a Trip!
On Saturday, we walked out the door with apartment looking like this.
We took a few bags and headed to the airport.
After spending a couple nights in a hotel, we closed on our house and enjoyed a first dinner of spaghetti and veggie steamers.

Just Like Daddy
Donnie has taken Pringles in his lunch every day for the past 3 years.  Tonight, Ellabeth got a can of them open and crushed on the ground.  After she realized she wasn't going to get in trouble, she had a great time eating them!

What a Husband
After 3 years, Donnie knows the way to my heart - flowers, starbucks, and chocolate!

On the Road Again
We loaded Ellabeth up for another plane ride to Oklahoma City.
She enjoyed helping look for her new home.
After we found a home she liked, she helped sign the papers!
We all had fun eating outside on the canal and watching the ducks and boats go by.

Little Helper - Part 2
Not only does she do laundry... she sweeps too!

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Dinner Time?
Maybe she was carrying around her spoon and bib to let me know she was hungry?

Bargain Shopping!
It's not a mistake - Ellabeth and Will got all these clothes for next summer for under $21!

Beach Adventure
Tonight we headed to Newport, RI to enjoy the beach and beautiful cliff walk.
Ellabeth really enjoyed playing in the grass.

She had fun in the water, but got a little sandy!


Ellabeth and Donnie both enjoyed the swings.
She made sure to wave 'bye' as we were leaving.
