My Meggie

This kiddo embodies my soul, she is so amazing.

Eating Out

On Sunday Chris took his girls out to lunch. We went to one of my favorite places, James Joyce Irish Pub. Ellie likes the chicken fingers and fries.

Meggie will eat whatever we give her. That day it was oatmeal and pureed bananas.

Ellie likes the great patio. Since we sit outside Ellie can be kind of loud and it is OK.

June

June makes mommie tired, it is a HUGE month for our family.

Here are the following events we celebrate in June...

Uncle Drew- 9th
Aunt Sarah- 9th
Mimi- 12th
Cousin Will-12th
Daddy- 15th
Father's Day- 15th (or there abouts)
Ellie- 23rd

With Daddy out of town for two weeks it has been hard for me to keep up with this month. I promise to do better henceforth. But, I can promise that Ellie had a wonderful birthday and she is ready for her next one!

Megs and Mimi's Quilt

Mimi made Megan a quilt for her bed (and matching pillows and pillowcases). It is super sweet and fun!

Baby Megs in Bed

One of my favorite things to do with Baby Megs when she was littler was to snuggle in bed all day with her. She is not as into snuggling now and she tries to crawl off the bed. But, I got a few fun minutes in with her on Saturday.

 

She is so sweet I just want to eat her up!

She was up kind of early so we had some nice morning light.

Then, I passed her off to Daddy so I could go back to sleep!

Ellie is So So Tired!

Ellie's bedtime rule is that she has to be in her room between 8:00 and 8:30. She doesn't have to go to sleep right away but she has to stay in her room.

A few nights ago she took all of the blankets and pillows off her bed and fell asleep on the floor with all of the lights on.

She was super cute, and so tired!

Ellie starts Preschool!

This week was a big one for Ellie. She started Preschool! She is loving it so far and we are excited to see her doing so well in a new environment. The school she is at has an integrated preschool with 3 - 5 year olds. I think she is the youngest child in the class but she doesn't let that stop her! The teacher, "Miss (Ni)Cole"  said that she is very polite and always wants to help. That's our girl!

Megs and the Basket

One of Ellie's favorite toys is an old laundry basket. I am not sure where the laundry basket came from, it must have been part of Chris' dowry. Or, maybe it was Uncle Drew's and we somehow ended up with it. Either way, Ellie loves it and is passing that love on to Megs.

Hey there Baby Megs!

Having fun in there??

What if I do want to get out?

I think I am stuck forever...ahhhh

 

Oh, I got out...whew!

And, now I can focus on being cute!

Ellie cameo, "Hi Elle Belle!"

Danielle Graduates!

Danielle graduated from high school last weekend. It seems impossible!

Mimi, Papa, Ellie, Megs and I went down to Kingsland to spend a few days with Nanny and Danielle (and Uncle Tony who had to leave for Emily's graduation)

 

Me and Nanny, being cute!

She liked to make me laugh.

And, I liked to laugh at her!

Smile!

Here is Danielle before her graduation.

And, Nanny and Danielle before the ceremony. Nanny had a blue cast to match the school colors, how cute!

Baby Megs Starts to Eat!

Baby Megs just started real food. These are some shots of her first biter biscuits. She is getting into it. She is now having rice cereal and bananas.

Yummy!

 

 

 

Baby Megs and her "little" Cousin!

Here is Baby Megs, she is adorable!

Here is Baby Eli, he is also adorable!

 

Baby Megs is one day older and loving it!

Ellie's School Carnival

In an effort to get more sleep our blog has taken a slight hit. I apologize to our faithful readers (haha) but I am enjoying a little more sleep!

 

Ellie had her end-of-the-year party last Friday. It was a very fun day complete with jumping houses and a new addition to our family!

Here is Ellie waiting for her turn at the fishing table.

And, here is our new addition. A fish! He is home and swimming around in a vase. He hasn't died yet... Although, Chris did ask me if I was feeding him (he is not a fan of the fish).

Ellie and her friends chasing the bubbles!

Ellie's class came up with a song. I am not sure of all the words but some of it is, "Oh So Sweetgum." Thus, the shirt.

I am not sure what we were doing, messing around probably.

More messing around...I think she was dancing!

Yep, we were definitely dancing.

Then, Ellie had her first taste of cotton candy. She loved it!

She had three sticks of it. Yep, that was her dinner!

Yummy!

More bubble chasing. They had tons of fun with those bubbles!

Where did it go??

Miss Tesha painted Ellie's face like a cat!

She wasn't to sure about the paint marker.

And, she would barely sit still!

It still turned out very cute!

Ellie starts pre-school at the beginning of June. I cannot believe she is going to be three in June. It seems impossible. But, she talks non-stop and loves to copy letters and is a social genius. Wow, it all goes by so fast!
