Spring Break Part 1

I am going to try to go back and post a little about Spring break. The first weekend, we spent at the 4H camp at Jeckyl Island with the cub scouts. It was a certainly not the Ritz, but we had fun.

We had time to play.


We learned about all kinds of animals and made a few friends.


We got to hang out with good friends.


We changed shoes often, because we got really dirty. (Both Carson and Macie fell in the marsh, but I did not have my camera with me.)


We wore ourselves out!


The kids had a great time and learned a ton. Our favorite part was the night walk. We learned a lot about constellations. It is amazing how much you can see when you don't have lights all around. Macie fell in love with a first grader and talks about him all the time! We are kind of hoping we will get to go back again.

One!

Happy Birthday sweet Ellie. Today you turn on. It is hard to believe a year ago daddy and I were spending out 2 night vacation at Northside with you. You have brought us so much joy this past year. You are such a smiling little girl. As long as you have your way you will flash everyone your big grin. You love to play with your brother and sister and to play outside.

On your first birthday, you have 8 teeth. You are moving to taking one nap a day and sleeping about 12 hours at night. You like to eat regular food and shake your head a big no if we are giving you something you don't want to eat. Today was the first night I got you to drink a bottle of whole milk. You still won't drink it out of a cup, but I am sure you will get there. You love to drink water. You are not walking, but you do stand on your own for up to about 15 seconds. You can get anywhere crawling and often crawl off and find something to play with on your own.

We are having your birthday party tomorrow with a few neighbors. I promise to post pictures and to come back with your stats after your doctors appointment on Monday.

We love you baby girl!
