First day of school - Ever!

I adore this little girl! Happy first day of school Ella Grace. What a big girl now!

A visit to the Ranch

Today we visited the Lazy 5 Ranch. We had a wonderful time. We got to feed all kinds of animals - ostriches, giraffes, piggies, deer, zebras, rhino,llamas, goats, and many many more. It's so fun to visit this farm. You start out your visit with a drive - thru safari....the animals actually stick their heads into your car to eat from your food buckets. After you are finished you can go thru a wonderful little petting zoo and feed the baby animals. Ella Grace loved all the animals, but I think her favorites where the exotic birds and the baby piggies. She kept pointing to all the animals and calling them by name!

Auntie Reb's wedding!

Well I'm finally getting around to blogging about my sister's wedding at Seabrook Island! The wedding was beautiful. I was the matron of Honor and Ella Grace was the flower girl. What an honor. Rebecca and I were stressing because up until a week before the wedding Ella Grace still wasn't walking. Then lo, and behold, just in the nick of time, she not only began walking but also running. Ella Grace was just darling walking down the isle with her flower basket. Instead of dropping the rose petals as planned she decided she wanted to hand them out to all the guests as she made her way towards the end of the isle. We really enjoyed meeting all of Nehemiah's family. Ella Grace's favorite part of the wedding was sharing a cupcake with Papa.

Seabrook - 2010

We had a wonderful week on Seabrook Island. The weather was hot so we spent most of the week in the water. One day we visited the aquarium and then hit up Hyman's Seafood. YUM! Ella Grace started walking about 1 week before we left for the beach, perfect timing! She loved the beach, watching the seagulls, throwing the sand around, digging holes and climbing into them. Another favorite part of the trip was the pool, they had a big spray fountain that she enjoyed playing under with Grampa. The reason we chose Seabrook this summer was because my sister got married! More pics from her wedding on a later blog.

After unloading groceries ,this is what I found on the kitchen floor......Ella Grace hard at work trying to throw "the ball".
