Mud baths??


Who needs all those fancy toys when you have water and dirt? Katelyn decided to give Ellie a mud bath and then herself. I'd post the ones of Ellie, but she had stripped down and was nothing but mud.

Our first cars



Katelyn and Ellie both drove Go-carts when they went to Pennsylvania earlier this month. For both of them it seems the faster the better.

Look at me in my big girl bed


We finally took the rails off of Ellie's crib and converted it into a toddler bed. She looks so proud. Unfortunately, she still prefers to sleep on the floor.

Will you marry daddy again????



That has been the question of the day for Katelyn lately. Ever since going to Louisville last month and seeing my wedding dress in a box, she is obsessed with weddings--that on top of anxiously awaiting to walk down the aisle in Angela's wedding. So she keeps asking me if I'm going to marry daddy again. So in an effort to appease her, we hosted a good old fashioned wedding in our family room. Amy wore a Kohls dress with a lovely tiara veil picked out by her flower girl Katelyn . Katelyn wore her "party" dress. Ellie walked down the aisle first. OK, it was really our upstairs hallway, but who noticed? Katelyn followed her and Amy, looking stunning in pink, met the groom in the family room. The groom was wearing a stylish coat and shorts. The officiant, Sherry, wore a black flowing robe. All applauded as the groom once again kissed the bride. The reception followed with tea and then a wedding dance. We are sorry that no one was invited. It was a rather quick elopement.

All dressed up


My baby is getting married. . . Not really, but that is what greeted me today when I got home from work. Ellie was all dressed up to be a bride with wings of course. Perhaps she was more of an angel than anything.
