Misc. Photos...

Schatzie perched on Ellie's friends. I took the picture then showed it to Ellie (she wasn't paying any attention to Schatzie at the time) she took one look at the picture, looked at the couch and said, "Hey! Schatzie in my pot!!" Sharp little girl, huh?

What a diva!!

Philly Visit

July 19-20, 2008

Ellie and Sophie snoozing in the back seat on our driving tour of the city. They were wide awake for the 30 minute drive into the city but once we started looking for a parking spot Ellie started snoring and Sophie dozed off soon after... No Touch and Feel Museum for us that day. Instead we drove around the city for the $4/gallon nap (aka- one of the most expensive naps ever) then ate lunch and did some shopping!

Big statue... not sure who but I am sure it is imporntant!

"I a spaceman!!"
Ellie was running around one night with (clean) panties on her head, princess poofs on her elbows, a silver princess mask on her face, and in her Snow Wipe night gown swearing that she is a spaceman!!

NC Visit

July25-29, 2008

On the way home from the airport, after telling Grandma and Donna the "spaceman" story, Donna decides to see how she feels as a spaceman... So Donna, what do you think??

We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast and here is Bill, Ellie, Donna, and Deb after breakfast resting their feet... not too much relaxing though, you might just fall asleep!! But hey, thats what we get for catching a 6am flight to Raleigh.

Note: The flight was good in theory and that is it!!

Ellie as the Mitt Monster in Bed Bath and Beyond

Cheers!!

Here we are at Friendly Center listening to a Beetles cover band... not too bad just very hot!!

Ellie was facinated with the giant shampoo bottle... An new crush? Maybe! First it was Matt Lauer, then Diego, now Blue Shampoo.
