Ellie StewI hope that this makes up for no Labor Day photo! A big pot of Ellie Stew with a teething cookie on top.... Mmm... Mmm... Good!!

Ellie... the artist

Bill was traveling this past weekend and Ellie and I got to spend some great one on one time together (with a little help from the dog). We like to get into things that Bill would normally have a nervous breakdown about like making a mess. Eating with our hands and painting are two great examples! Well, we did some finger painting this weekend and had a great time! The only proof left that we did anything was the photos and the painting itself... what an artist!!

Fall is on its way...

I have to say that I am excited for the fall and all the things that it brings... back to school, bithdays, anniversaries, Haolloween, leaves changing, and cooler temperatures which means... new clothes to dress up Ellie. So far here is my favorite... a navy blue polo skirt, pink long sleeved polo shirt, pink and brown argyle socks, brown mary-jane shoes, topped off with a pink bow in her hair. How cute, I almost whish I had put her pearls on her for the photo! I have to say, she was a hit at school. All of the teachers loved her, but can you blame them??

Rosie & Scott's Wedding
September 9, 2006

Let me start out by saying that I am so sorry for such a laps in entries but I have a very good excuse... our other camera broke and we had to get a new one and then figure out how to use it. Anyway, here I am and now we are up and running again!!
Ellie, Deb, and I went to Atlanta the other weekend for Rosie's wedding and we made a great girl's weekend out of it! We hit the outlets in Gafney, SC on the way down and did some damage... what fun and a great break in the drive!! Well, we made it there in one piece and Donna was able to join us at the hotel for the weekend. By the way Donna, Ellie wanted me to thank you again or the glow worm and the donna-doll, she said that she loves them!!
Here are some pictures from the Big Day... I wish I had more to share but unfortunatly it is hard to be a photographer while you have a baby in tow! Here are Rosie and Scott at the alter, it really was a beautiful ceremony. I just wish that Ellie would have napped through the entire thing!
Here we are at the reception: Lisa, MB, Leanna, and Bethany. It was so great to see so many people I haven't seen in years!
Here are Ellie's "fill-in" grandparents, Nelly and Jim. I don't know who had more fun, Ellie running around, or Jim running after Ellie!!
Horray, the Phi Mu babies finally meet. Here Ellie and I are with Angie and her daughter Evie. It almost looks like they are having their own baby conversation!
Congratulations Rosie, I wish you and Scott a lifetime full of love, joy, and understanding!!
