Last week my sister [Shannon] and my little niece [Ellyn] came to stay with us for 3 days. Elly was so excited to have a Tia & Jesse Day. She actually got to go to Tia's house and sleep over!! Exciting stuff!!
Both Jesse and I had to work while they were staying with us. But, we work from home!! We certainly confused Elly. She would bring a chair over to my desk and say "Why do you have to work here? You have to work at a Doctors office. This is not work." My sister works at the hospital for a Doctor... therefore she thinks that everyone should work for a Doctor and not at home!
She got to color all over my papers with my pens and pencils! Good times in her eyes! After I was done with work then we went to play in the lake. She loved it out in the lake and didn't want to go and eat supper.
Cute story about the lake. She would sit in our apartment and look at the lake and beg to go out there and was I done with work yet because she was ready to go swimming. At one point she came running over to me "The water in the lake is going away!!!!" Of course I played along and said "NO WAY! Show me!" She runs me over to the patio door and says "See, the water is going away." Here a big clump of yuck was at the surface of the water and it sorta looked like the bottom of the lake.... : )
Here are some pictures of our time together!
We went shopping one night and got Elly these adorable shoes.
She starts preschool this fall with Ms. Amanda and needs cute shoes!!
She walked around saying "I love my new shoes. They are soooo cute."
This is our sassy little Ellyn.
This is our sassy little Ellyn.
I had to sneak this picture because Elly wouldn't let me
take their picture. I tried to get a nice one and she cried. : )
My sister brought us this cake because she was here on our 4th anniversary!!
The cake was made by the same lady who made our wedding cake. Very cool!
