Before Mike and I headed out west for our vacation, we traveled down 85 South to Atlanta for the weekend. Mike played with my Dad in a golf tournament and while they barely missed making the playoff, they had a great time and Mom and I enjoyed the parties that came along with the tournament. While they didn't make the tournament playoff, it's a tradition that all the players watch the final playoff holes and they called us to come up and watch it. Ella thought this meant it was her turn to play golf and as you can tell, she took right to it!
I hope she takes after her Dad's golf skills and not her Mom's. I did play that one junior golf summer and it wasn't pretty.
However, she hasn't quite learned golf etiquette so while the golfers were putting, we quickly distracted her by playing a movie. Thank goodness for iPhones!
One final swing before heading home.
Ella had so much fun at DeeDee and Papa's house and one of her favorite things was DeeDee's big walk-in closet full of shoes! We all know how much this girl loves shoes and finding a whole new closet full was like finding gold. She would go, close the door and come out with different shoes each time that she had to put on right away! DeeDee definitely has some fun shoes.
We also got to see one of my oldest friends, Amy and meet her little girl Abby for the first time. Amy actually lives in Dallas but just happened to be in Atlanta for a wedding so the timing worked out perfectly. Amy, Abby and her husband came over Sunday afternoon and we got to meet sweet little Abby. She is so adorable and such a good baby, laid back baby. Ella was very jealous whenever I tried to hold Abby. She is definitely jealous and doesn't like it when her Mommy has another baby in her arms. But she did like touching baby Abby's feet and of course seeing Amy and Jason again. Can't wait until Abby gets a little bigger and these two girls can grow up together and play.
I will do another post later this week with tons of pictures and a recap of our trip to San Francisco, Yosemite and Napa but while we were away, Ella got to stay and play with DeeDee and Papa in Atlanta. She was very spoiled and had a great time with them. She loved playing in the little pool they set up on the back deck and also helping Papa water all the plants and flowers. And apparently, watering is more fun when you are a naked noodle!
They were very busy while we were gone. Eating lunch at Chick-fila most days, having dinner with Uncle Court and "FerFer", Great Grammy and Nanny coming to visit, going to see Papa's new office and even a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. DeeDee said at first, she was very tentative but then had fun looking at the fishies but in the end, she just wanted to run around and play with the other kids there. I guess we wait a couple more years and then go back when she is a little bit older.
We missed our little girl so much and couldn't wait to see her when we got home and give her a big hug and kiss. She was also very excited to see us but I know she had a great time with DeeDee and Papa because she has been talking about them and asking for them ever since we got home. Thanks DeeDee and Papa for taking such good care of our little girl and letting us get away for a couple days.
