Travelin'

I will use this as my excuse for the lapse in posting. I will keep it short and let the pictures speak for themselves. We really enjoyed our cool spring and are enduring our HOT summer. June was mostly spent away from home and although it made us pretty tired and made my car an absolute wreck, it also helped make the time till Tim's graduation fly...we have only one month to go!

We had a blast celebrating Ellie's birthday with a few local friends and Auntie JuJu who was in town. Ellie was very concerned about having a party and wasn't sure she wanted her friends to come over...I later found out it was because she thought they would eat all the cupcakes and she wouldn't have any. I made two boxes worth for about 10 people, so we were eating cupcakes for weeks! Funny the things a four year old worries about!

Lately our days have been spent staying cool at the spray n' play or pool, eating lots of popscicles and blueberries (we brought 6 pints home from NJ!), anxiously awaiting the weekends when "DeDe" comes home from Quantico, and waiting for our next trip!

Oh, and gymnastics began today! I forogt the camera (oops!) but I promise to take it next week and take a few pictures of our girl in her leotard (black with bright green neon flames!). She had a blast at her first lesson. Her favorites were the trampoline (not suprising) and the pit of foam squares). She did a great job listening to the coach and asked all afternoon if she was going back again tomorrow! I think it was a hit.

Enjoy the new pictures.
