Visit from Ellie & Pete

Chris borrowed our utility trailer for his art show and Brooke

brought it back on Wednesday.  Ellie and Pete got to 

visit Gram and Pa for the day.

Pete started sitting up a couple weeks ago and 

is getting stronger and stronger

Ellie wanted to play with Becky again 

When Pete falls forward from his sitting position he plays on his 

tummy for a while.  He's still rolling all over

Ya, it was 85 degrees or so on Wednesday but

Becky wanted to where her snow coat & boots

Who's going to argue?

Everything goes in the mouth

Cutie Pies

Doogey came over too.  I think most of Ellie's

favorite toys were either her mom's or Claire's

The tricycle at Gram's house

The blackberries are on!!

Ellie & Pete's Visit

Chris is on travel for work this week so Brooke brought the kids

over to see Gram & Pa for a couple days.

Ellie found Brooke's Fisher Price doll and wanted

to play with it.  She was very careful with it

Cutie Pies

Pete is on his tummy more now.  He rolls from front to back

and back to front.  He's starting to realize he can get all the way 

to Ellie's toys

But his don't get taken away or hurt when you hit yourself 

in the face with them

He loves his tag blanket

Yummmmm

More Cutie Pies

We went to Target and Ellie got to spend her birthday money.

She bought a veterinarian set, now all her pets can go to the  doctor

Pete got to hold Guy, but still can't hold Bob or LuLu

Quilt

Walt's niece, Michelle, wanted me to make a bigger 

quilt for her daughter, Brooklyn. 

I know she likes Minnie, pink, and purple so this worked out great

Lap quilt size around 50x70

Notice the little black dots in the pinwheel are Minnie Mouse, too?

She has a pink bow on top of her head

Then we followed them back to their house for present opening

Pete's standing up in this exersaucer pretty well now

A friend of ours made this doll house for their daughter 25 or so 

years ago, then it was passed down to a cousins children, then back to their

granddaughters who have outgrown it so we adopted it for Ellie

I made Ellie a 'Katie No Pockets' apron

now she can take all her peeps with her where ever she goes

Happy 3rd Birthday, Ellie!!
