And Ellie is seeing it all for the first time.
She didn't want to miss a thing - so she barely slept and made this mama work hard. But it was worth it just to see the joy she brings to the people who love her. I love to see her loved.
Ellie with Great-Grandma Eleanor
Great Grandma had us all over for dinner on Saturday - homemade kraut and ribs and lemon meringue pie. And lots of love.
Kisses from Great Uncle Kelley
All the toys in the world couldn't entertain Ellie - but this measuring cup did the trick. I'm sure Grandpa had a lot to do with that big smile, though.

We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was gorgeous all weekend.

And now, we are recovering from the whirlwind weekend and looking forward to many more just like it this summer.
Nicki,
ReplyDeleteWe loved seeing all of you this weekend. Please let us know when you'll be Up North again so we can plan a get-together. Your blog and amazing photos are something I treasure. Keep them coming, please.
It was so wonderful to see after so long AND to meet Ellie. What a little delight. You grams looks amazing! 92! Wowzers. You've got some good genes girl.
