Love my house



This is my view. Sigh. 

And a cute little peanut too!

Keeping it real....

To Ella's fan club: it isn't all sunshine lol. Ella was up sick last night. = 2 loads of laundry in the wee hours of the morning, 2 baths, and 2 bed changes. Mom and Dad each took a shift ;) Grant started singing "Oh Parenthood..." To the tune of "Sweet Caroline" during the second round lol. Parenthood most definitely makes me realize how much my parents sacrificed and did for me and makes me appreciate them even more.

Love Georgia!!!

This weekend is beautiful. 70 degrees, sunny. Just perfect. We hung out and roasted marshmallows and hot dogs in the new fire pit Grant built. 

Ella loves s'mores!!!

Mmmm so good.

Dream Date Night


Since moving here, and seeing all the beautiful natural wonders and architecture, I have had some great date ideas and wanted to jot them down. (Aahemmm, this way friends and family can prompt Grant to surprise me) Niki? Sheri? - Oh but we will need a sitter volunteer too ;)

The Partridge Inn. A historic landmark and truly beautiful oasis close to home. It would be wonderful to spend a Saturday night in a balcony view room and enjoy their fabulous Sunday brunch. 

Then head to the Augusta Canal on their Petersburg boat for the Civil War Themed  boat tour at 1:30. 


Sounds lovely doesn't it? :-P



A Chilly Day on the Town

Enjoyed a yummy!!! lunch with some southern flair (fried green tomatoes anyone? - so good), at the Boll Weivel Cafe on Riverwalk.

Ella's favorite fountain is near by, as are my favorite Surrey Center. May or may not have picked up some new earrings ;)


Hanging out



Love this- (guest post)

This was posted on a blog made by one of my hometown's news anchors. 
We are embarking on our own Ella's evaluations with the public school system soon and this article was just what I needed.

The next chapters....

As promised I am back using this as my format for the adventures of Ella and the adventures of life. This way we can share photos and happenings with all of you. It is so hard to believe that it has been almost 2 and 1/2 years since I last posted. So much has changed, Ella has learned to crawl, walk, and run!! And talk (some). We are in the midst of a potty training battle of wills-- Ella may win. Life is so bright with Ella in it What she would LOVE to concur is learning to blow BUBBLES!!! 

Spring is just on the verge of springing here in Georgia. This is the weather we moved here for. It is just lovely!!!! Getting excited for lots of cookouts and time outside and reading by the lake. Appreciating the beauty in each day!
