Our weekend and hanging with the Handlers

So excited to watch "Street" after three days without Elmo.


Keeping busy while mama makes lunch.




We went to Charlotte this weekend to visit with the Handlers. Here is Ellie watching "No White" (Snow White) with Molly, Lilly, and puppy dog London.

Spin Spin Spin!


Tickle, tickle, tickle!


"Dug!" (Bug)

Slip n' Slide and the childrens' museum

This was part of an interactive exhibit called "Grossology." He moved and wiped his nose while explaining the wonders of colds and snot.


Ellie was a little freaked out by him :)




"HI!"






















The end of a long morning at the museum.





Not so sure about the Slip n' Slide.




But sometimes you just gotta go for it!

Sweet Thang

Not even chocolate makes it okay to have messy hands.





Ellie and I spent yesterday morning in Coolidge Park riding on the carousel and playing in the fountain.






Soul Sista! We don't know where she picked this up :) She just started doing it one day while eating at Chili's.

Ain't that America

Hangin' with Hank

This picture taught Amy and I that we're too old to go without make-up.


Ellie loves her new cousin, but she's not too keen on mama holding him or on holding him herself. Here she is gettin' the heck out of dodge after Amy tried to position Henry in her lap.


Still a little nervous...


Getting some lovin' from JuJu
