obviously, life has been really crazy. my parents and sister came, we toured georgia, ellie was blessed, my parents went home again and life still isn't quite normal. i mean, we can't exactly "go back to normal" with a new baby. we're going to find a new normal. still working on it.we had a great week with our families. my sister needs to send me some of the 400+ pictures she took because i didn't really get any. i was just so busy trying to squeeze in as much as possible! i think ellie was in someone's arms 99% of the time. we all had a great time.
highlights:
holding ellie
exploring in the backyard
driving through atlanta to get the new rental
pointing at all the attractions
getting good drinks at the quiktrip
realizing that the biggest car they had was a grand marquis
ellie having a blow-out in the airport bathroom
squishing in the grand marquis
holding ellie
blinding ellie with the camera flash
waking up early and playing with ellie
playing in downtown athens
pointing at the double-barreled cannon
walking around uga campus
lunch at the varsity (what'll ya have?!)
driving to stone mountain
freezing at stone mountain
pointing at giant carvings of confederate heroes
holding ellie
playing with judge
going to the flea market
getting a little too much culture at the flea market
driving around in the georgia country
holding ellie
blessing ellie
eating and talking and laughing with family
kissing, hugging, loving ellie
pretty much, we just spent a week being in love with a little girl and enjoying our growing family. it was really great and we can't wait for july, when we're going to visit utah. she has so many people to meet! i already have some outfits picked out.
i'll be posting more pictures as soon as i get them. for now, i'm stealing them from my mother-in-law.
