Slower Pace

After all the festivities of Easter, we have settled into a slower pace. More hanging out at home, more impromptu play dates in the cul-da-sac and more picnic lunches. Here are some pictures from the last week.
Ella is really into stalling before nap time and bed time these days. She will take one stair at a time and then stop halfway to take a "break" on the landing. Of course, this also happens to be where Dakota was taking a nap in the sun. Ella had to get in some cuddle time and kisses with her dog before going to rest of the way up the stairs.

DeeDee and Great Grandma came up to Charlotte visit last week and of course that meant going shopping. DeeDee found some new sunglasses for Ella! But they were about as expensive as mine so no designer glasses for this girl yet!

We are also having amazing spring/summer weather here over the past week so we have been hitting the parks.

Ella is still very tenative at the park. She would prefer to just step up and down the stairs and walk over the bridges than to go down a scary slide. But she is happy none the less.

On Saturday morning, the girls left the Dads in charge while we went to pick up new flowers and vegetables to plant and have some lunch. The Dads all met up for breakfast and then to the park. I am sure it was a sight to see, 3 Dads and 5 little girls. These two girls taking a break at the park together!

Yesterday, we went to watch Daddy play soccer. She watches soccer on tv a lot with Dad at home so she was pretty entertained to watch in the beginning.

But we had to bring some snacks to keep her attention. Nothing a little granola bar can't handle. Unfortunately, Mike's team lost the game to their big rival but he did score a goal and we got to see that.

We love that it is finally warming up enough to bring out the baby pool and bathing suits are optional when you look this adorable in just a diaper!

Finally, we met Daddy today for a picnic lunch. They have this great park in the middle of Uptown which is perfect for Ella to run around.

Hi Dad, catch me if you can!



We are enjoyed the slower pace of last week and this week looks to be more of the same. We will enjoy it before the summer really picks up and we are nonstop on the go again!
