A Lazy Sunday Afternoon at Lulu's


We took the jet skis and boat to Lulu's for Sunday lunch. Ellabee and Mommy / Daddy rode in the boat and ended up with two more little boys on the way home.

Here are some shots of Mommy and Ellabee, Maw Maw and Ellabee and a rare Mommy and Daddy.












Back at the Bay for Memorial Day


We spent a lot of time with our cousins and new friends this weekend. Ellabee and Sydney had fun playing on the beach and "Chancey" and "Gar-ee-sin" were great big cousins.

Ellabee had to get into the photo taking with her makeshift "camera" - really a Batman tackle box!



Summer Fun in the Front Yard











We pulled out the baby pool and Elmo (or "Momo") sprinkler for some summer fun in the front yard. We weren't too sure about the sprinkler, but the pool was a source of delight!

Weekend in Fairhope



We spent the weekend at the Bay house in Fairhope this weekend with good friends! I'm glad to report that the apparent aversion to water has passed and Ellabee spent a good deal of time playing in the sand with the sand toys.


















Here is our local super-model hanging out in the surf.

"Come on Ellabee,
the water feels great!"

Our First Time with the Ice Cream Truck


It's summer and that means it's time for BOMB POPS! A junior bomb pop for the wee one.

Swimming Swimming in the Swimming Hole


Ellabee and Daddy in the swimming hole. We've been taking a water babies class at Lakeshore Foundation. They "waterproofed" the children, meaning that she now knows how to get to the side of the pool and monkey crawl out. She also went under water several times AND, most importantly, she isn't afraid to get in the water anymore!

We're considering swimming lessons next.
