Splish Splash I Was Takin' A Bath (with a dog)

After our puddling, Ella and Pacey soaped up in the tub!!

Singin' In The Rain

Recently, we all got to play outside in the rain and puddles. Ella, complete with her pajama top, diaper, and jewelry, had a blast!! Pacey too!

We're BAAAACK!!

We're HOME!!! We had the most WONDERFUL vacation, with the BEST weather!!! Can you believe it? In the midst of a hurricane, we had 1/2 day of rain the entire week- which is a rare thing ANY week at the beach! Probably the best weather we've ever had. The day the hurricane came in, the waves at Destin were 17 feet! Michael got some good boogie boarding in on the following days. Our friends Katie and John went as well - we had such a fun time with them. John and Michael avid jelly fish hunters. =)
Ella LOVED the beach! She wanted to stay in the water the whole time! She thought it was too funny when a big wave would come up and splash her! She DID NOT want to leave every day when it was time to go in. She got to play in the fountains at Destin Commons and we met our friends the Sketoes one night to let the girls play together. They had a big time!
Ella also got to ride a carousel for the first time, and a mini- train, which she loved. She is still too short for the bumper boats (Daddy was sad), but there's always next year! =)
Ella is TALKING ALL THE TIME these days!! She finally learned to use the word "please" in context this week, prompted by a Krispy Kreme doughnut- imagine that! It was hilarious- her Daddy opened the box and she saw what he was eating, and she looked up at him and said "pleeez?" (with the cutest, sweetest voice). Motivation at best. =)
We visited Rosemary Beach (gorgeous) one day and did lots of shopping throughout the week. We ate some really great food- tried some new restaurants that were awesome, and caught lots of rays!! Can't wait to go back. It's a struggle for me every year to keep Michael from moving down there. I'm not kidding. He LOVES that area.

I'll post new pics soon! Our little sweetie is tan and blonde from all that good sun!
