Nothing like Young's ice cream to end a good day.
All the kids sitting by the sunflowers. It started to get a little dark but at least we got a shot of all of them. It will be fun to see them grow up together. Elli's face is due to the fact that she fell and bloodied her knees.
A good family picture. What a beautiful field.
Fun picture of Elli and I.
She was making them talk to each other. Hilarious. 
Elli cannot get enough of this little guy. He wasn't the happiest, but Elli doesn't mind.
Such fun to be there for his very first photo shoot. He is sleeping on the blanket that was a gift from Aunt Lori made by Jeni. Thank you again Jeni for making everyone so happy with your designs. He did a great job.
What a precious little guy. He is so sweet. Don't you just want to squeeze this little one?
My turn to hold him all by myself. I also got to help feed him today. He is so sleepy that he doesn't want to eat much, so I got to help feed him with a water dropper. I guess he has had a rough couple of days. His whole world has just changed completely. Now, Megan and Kyle's world will change completely:)
Uncle Devin holding Seth.
Brent getting his chance.
Elli loved him. She kept asking me to unwrap him so she could see his body, especially his feet and tummy. She kept telling me he would get a belly button soon.
The very excited new parents. Don't they look so sweet? Little Seth is so small. Born 09/09/09, 1:23 pm, 5 lbs, 13 ozs, 19 3/4 in long. Brown hair. Adorable. 
Elli showing off her swiming skills with her uncles Kyle and Devin and daddy. She has gotten so good in such a short time. 
Little Emma Grace stayed at our house while her daddy helped dig the hole in the back yard. We loved it! (Not so sure she did though)
It's a duber, aka, a family gathering making a memory. We all helped move the dirt from the newly dug hole onto a different dirt pile so we could save our grass and get the dirt out of the way for when the window goes in. Labor Day weekend was a great time of spending time with family.
I always check on Elli before I go to bed. This is what I found last night:)
Today was Elli's first day of preschool for the fall. She told me on the way home , "mommy, school is really great. There are lots of kids and I learned about tacos and french beef." ?
Brent decided to dig the egress with a machine. Yeah! The basement progress has begun. He did a great job and was so very thankful for this machine. He cleaned up the edges by hand and was realizing just what a good investment this was.
What kid wouldn't want to jump in here? Now to teach her to say away from it.
Getting her vitamin. Notice the clothing here: pink dress, different color pink jacket, red socks, blue shoes, and her blanket. Love it!
Playing in the fountains at the Greene. There were only two other kids playing today!
Visiting her Papa at work. She was playing with his "light sabre." She wanted to see in his tool box drawers, but thought she might get dirty. Then, she held her hands over her ears because the tools in the shop were so loud. We didn't spend much time here today.
This is one of many funny looks I get when Elli wakes up from her nap. Notice the "sleeping" socks and three of her babies. She is such a funny little girl. I love her so much and love the way she makes me smile. Glad to finally get a couple of the "I just got up from my nap" pictures. 
A nice man in front of us offered Elli the rest of his popcorn and being the highly protective, don't eat after strangers, mother that I am, we took it:) Elli loves popcorn, especially at a Dragon's Game.
Getting some eskimo kisses. Love this girl.
Self taken picture having a blast at the game. Leah and Matt were there behind us a few rows. We have Heather and Gary's tickets since they are on their honeymoon. Thank you guys!
Care groupe kids minus two, having fun Thursday night. Love these kiddos.
Have you seen three cuter faces? I have not!
These three girls had matching dresses and we needed a photo shoot. They were playing ring-around -the-rosy here. Love the smiles!
Elli and I went to the pool on Thursday. She is swimming like crazy, not hardly wanting to touch the bottom anymore. I can't believe how fast that happened!
Our last day for Moms and Tots was at Orchardly Park. It was so fun. Lots of moms came and we were able to enjoy fun times together chasing our kids. We even decided a run to Graeters afterwards was a must:) Here, Elli and Lily have on their "hoods." Sweet little friends.
The boys and Elli checking out a sand dollar or starfish or jellyfish. Anyway, it has their attention. We didn't spend much time playing in the ocean after the first few days. The jellyfish were terrible. Dad got stung pretty bad on his legs and Matt got it in the leg and face. Not many people were in the water due to the severity of the stings. Nearly everyone we passed had been stung or someone in their family had been. Awful!
Grammy and Grandma watching the dolphins at Sea Pines.
Elli played Little Red Riding Hood in the puppet show at Harbour Town. She was so serious, as always, but of course was loving it:)
The family in front of the Light House at Harbour Town.
We went to Sea Pines and wanted to eat at Salty Dog Cafe, but it was a long wait, so we ate at The Wreck of the Salty Dog. Great food, most of us got fish and chips. Elli played with the figurines and colored on the floor. She loved it. 
Getting sleepy after a long day and fun dancing. She was even doing some break dancing with spins on the floor. You go little girl!
Cutting the very delicious cake that took a small tumble before the reception. It still tasted wonderfully though!
So Elli loved this sparkling grape juice. Good thing it was only juice! She kept asking for more from the servers. She also liked walking up to people and "crashing" glasses.
Heather and Gary having the first dance. So pretty! 
Beautiful picture of Heather and Gary right after the ceremony.
We needed a family picture.
Heather and Gary wrote their own vows to each other. They didn't read each other's vows before hand and were surprised at similar they were.
Elli was the flower girl. She had a bucket of flowers and handed them out to each person in the audience. She did a great job. She did however want to run up and give Heather a flower and I had to hold her back!
She looks so pretty. 
Brent has enjoyed two rounds of golf with dad going along for the view. Dad got stung by a jelly fish, Elli fell out of her princess bed and Elli is sick, of course. (She seems to always come down with something on vacation) We are however having a great time.
