4th of July

We spent 4th of July weekend in Sherman with Momo and Papa. We just hung out around the house, played outside, and did a little swimming.

Momo got the girl's some 4th of July outfits...

This is Finley's puppy "colka dot"...

Baby Ellis' outfit was a little snug. We were able to get it on for the picture, but Momo had to return it...

Thursday, July 22, 2010

Ellis Grace was baptized at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sherman on June 6, 2010. She wore a beautiful gown that has been in Brandon's family for generations (the same one that Brandon wore when he was baptized). Brandon's mom hosted a lovely reception at her house afterward. It was a very special day, we feel very blessed.

Finley, of course, stole the show at church. When the minister took Ellis and walked down the isle to show her to the congregation, Finley was very upset and yelled out, "Mommy, go get her", she thought he was stealing Ellis, everyone had a big laugh!

Big eyes!

I look just like my daddy!

Playing at the Lake

Okay, so one exciting Saturday night, we decided we were hungry and went to eat dinner at this cafeteria by our house around 5:30. Yes, we are eighty years old! Needless to say, we had some time to kill after our early bird special so we stopped by White Rock on the way home to let Finley run around and throw some rock into the lake.

Finley was so excited to see these horses. When they left, she told us they were going back to the barn to see the cows!

Back to School

Things have been really crazy this last month since we headed back to school, but we are getting it figured out. We started back to school on June 1st, just in time the the CDC's Wild West Summer kick-off. Finley is having so much fun and Ellis is being spoiled rotten by her beloved Mrs. Martha! She is the only baby in the infant room this summer and is getting lots of attention. Everyone at school has made the transition so easy. Ellis never missed a beat and is so happy and content. She plays all day with Mrs. Martha and even gets to visit Finley in her classroom and Mommy in my office.

Finley is very protective of Ellis and is quick to tell all of her friends when they get too close that "Baby Ellis is her baby sister". And of course, I love going to see Ellis during the day, usually 2 to 3 times when she is ready for her feedings. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful school and wonderful people to look after my girls while I am working. And knowing they are right there with me is so comforting. Thanks to everyone, it really does take a village!
