Aquarium!

We met up with Aunt Sarah, Uncle Brayden and Cousins Brett and Will at the aquarium today. It was great to see the Whitney Family!

The Jellyfish, they were so pretty!

More pretty Jellyfish.

We have to give props to Cousin Will who was sick, but so happy and sweet during our trip. What a cutie!

Ellie and Brett at The Varsity! They split a lunch. Brett ate two hot dogs and Ellie ate two hot dog buns. They are quite the team!

A Girl and Her Dog

Katie is so good to the girls. She lets them pull and tug on her and all she wants in return is to be able to eat their leftovers off of the floor.

Here is Ellie walking Katie. They are a very cute pair.

And, Ellie just being cute. That is not hard for her to do!

Ellie...

With a little sass.

I usually don't stylize the pictures this much. But, I thought these were kind of cute.

Ellie "helping" me with my margarita!

Meggie and her Vacuum

Meggie loves the vacuum cleaner. Whenever I get it out she crawls around to find it then hangs on to it.

Ellie hates the vacuum because it is, "too loud." Maybe Meggie realized she is safe from her sister as long as she is close to the vacuum...smart girl!

Thanks to everyone who left comments. We read them and love to get them!

Ellie and Her Camera

Ellie really likes here camera. Here are some shots from today when she was looking at some pictures Grandma Cindy gave her, and taking pictures of those pictures.

Ellie put the pictures in a line then took pictures of each one.

The last one in her line, that was a lot of work!

Looking at you, looking at me!

I LOVE this picture. I think it is really cute and captures the true essence of Ellie.

Who's Busy??

Meggie is so busy now. She plays really well by herself and is into climbing EVERYTHING!

She likes the slide.

And, she can almost make it all of the way up before sliding back down.

Ellie and I have been going to swimming lessons after work/school. When we got home today Meggie and Daddy were snuggling. She had fallen asleep on Chris while he was working on the computer (yes, he can type and hold a sleeping baby at the same time).

They are a very cute pair.

Hey Daddy!

PS: If you read this blog please leave a comment sometime soon. I would love to know who checks in on us!

PPS: Meggie just climbed up the stairs all by herself!

Our Visit With Grandma Maxine

Our little family headed down to Lebanon, Missouri to visit with Chris' Grandma, Maxine. She took us out to a nice lunch and we spent some time enjoying her piano and comfy house.

Swimmin' with Judi

On Tuesday night Miss Judi invited the Henderson/Sears/Whitney clan to go swimming in her fabulous pool.

Miss Judi and Mr. Dan were our neighbors when we were all Henderson's and lived on Truman Drive.

Blake, Brett and Papa liked the basketball goal.

The boys got really good at making baskets by jumping in from the side of the pool.

Eli is a water baby, through and through. He LOVED the water!

Ellie and Brett wore life belts since they are still learning how to swim.

Ellie really liked the Nemo pool toy.

Meggie is not as crazy about the water as Ellie was or is. After she has been swimming for about 20 minutes she is ready to get out and take a nap (or nurse, whichever).

So, here she is enjoying dry land!
