Sunday, the 25th, was a very special day. It was- in the words of Ella Rae- a "Happy Day"!! It was Granddaddy's Birthday!!! We celebrated by having diner and  cake at Gigi and Granddaddy's. Ella Rae with the Birthday Boy!!  Ella Rae and Gigi  Ella Rae with Gigi and Granddaddy And Daddy joined in, too!!   Granddaddy ALWAYS has a  coca-cola cake for his birthday cake. It is so yummy!  Of course, Ella Rae got to help blow out the candles! Happy Birthday Granddaddy! We love you so much!

means seeing cute little girls in cute little shirts like this:     It also means that her cute little mommy is my sister! I love these two cute little ladies very much! xoxo

O'ma came to visit over Labor Day Weekend!! We enjoyed haning out with them one evning  and eating some yummy Chinese Food. I snapped a few pictures of  Ella Rae and O'ma  before we headed home.    Cheese!   Hugs for O'ma! We had a very nice visit, can't wait for the next one!!

 Even though it was his weekend off,  Kelly had to work on Saturday.  Major Boo! But Gigi, Granddaddy and I took Ella Rae to the  beach that morning to make up for it.  As you can see, the beach was practically empty!  Ella Rae enjoyed having the freedom to roam around.   She also loved learning how to make drippy castles with Granddaddy.  Stopping for a quick picture with mommy and new baby sister. Later that night (after the Gamecocks won!!)  we met at a cute new little ice cream shop in the promenade for a special treat!    Ella Rae got her very own mini ice cream cone! She LOVED it!   Of course, she wanted more when she was finished with her own cone so she snuck a lick of Gigi's haha!   Here's a cute picture of Ella Rae on the way to school one morning. She was excited, obviously!     Here's a belly picture for 26 weeks!    And being that we are 26 weeks and counting  I have felt the pressure to get the nursery ready!  Here is a sneak peek of the crib.  Th
