Since my last post! Sorry to those of you who still even check my Blog. I've been staying busy with Calli Ann and other things I haven't been updating like I should!A lot has been going on since my brother's wedding!! We went to the beach for a week and Calli Ann's first trip to the beach! We had a wonderful time with Aaron's family and I think Calli Ann really enjoyed the sand and the pool. We are planning on taking her back for the 4th of July!
Mom and I headed out to the big state of Texas to welcome "little man", Mac Ellis into this world. Of cousrse, we had a wonderful time visiting with Elizabeth and Robert but like I told Elizabeth after the baby is born people don't really care as much about you as they do the baby!!! We soaked up every minute of our time there and were so sad to have to leave and come home but oh how I missed my sweet baby. I knew I missed her but when I saw her after being gone for 4 days I just cried I was so happy to have her back. Aaron was a trooper. He kept her while I was gone and did a wonderful job. The house was even clean when I got home!! Thank you Aaron and thank you to my precious friends who had my sweet family over and for all the phone calls to "check" on him.
I attended my first Corks and Canvas a few weeks ago and had the best time. I'm sure I drove the teacher nuts with all my questions and I don't know if I'll go back because I just finally realized that painting is not my gift. But seeing people and the many laughs we had were well worth it! Still don't have a place for my pears but maybe they would look nice in my closet!!!!
My niece, Mary Avnor came and stayed with us for a week so that she could go to AUMC's Bible School. We had the best time with her being here. She was the biggest help with Calli Ann and made some sweet "Auburn Friends". Calli Ann had her first tea party while MA was here also. Of course she had no idea what she was doing but of course I had to take some pics! My new little niece, Isabelle came to Columbus and is going to VBS with my other nieces. We had a fun trip to Columbus to visit them this past week. My sweet little girls are growing up so fast. I just sit there and almost cry watching them and knowing that they are still little girls but that they are growing up too fast! Time flies!
I cannot believe we only have a little over a month of summer left. So far it has been the best summer ever. Calli Ann just turned 8 months and is crawling all over the place. She is saying "mama", "dada", "bye bye", "hey", "woof", and of course my mom's favorite she said "Pitty Pat" (it wasn't understandable but you know that is what she is saying) yesterday for the first time. We had to put her crib down because she is pulling up on everything and one day we went in there and she was just standing in her bed. Even though I love these milestones I really cannot believe she is already doing these things. These past 8 months have flown by so fast but we are loving EVERY minute of her and the new things she does each day! I was reading a little book the other day about how we are our children's world now and it is up to us to train them and raise them up. Even though I know those things it is so neat to really see her soaking up everything we do with her and I pray that God gives us the wisdom to train her up in the way of the Lord.
I hope to keep everyone updated a little better now that I'm home for awhile. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. Here are a few pics from the past month!
