Sweet relief...

Even more pics from last, last weekend...

Sorry, Ellie fans, just getting caught up. It's been too hot to even post pictures. Ugh...

These are the last ones from our trip though. I'll get us back on schedule now.

Some more pics from last weekend...

Preview of the afore-asterisked weekend photos...

And while we're at it with wishing belated (blog post) July Happy Birthdays to Grandpas...

Happy belated (blog post) Birthday to Grandpa I!

Sorry we couldn't be with you on the big day, but here's a shot from our recent visit.

I believe Ellie's playing, what I remember to be a stirring rendition of, Happy Birthday.

She taught herself electric organ for the occasion.

Now that's love.




Oh, and his birthday may rhyme with meventy-mix...

Happy (belated, at least on the blog) Birthday to Grandpa S!

This post is definitely overdue, but slightly forgivable as we were out of town celebrating in a place with no Internet.*

Still though...

We love you, Poppy!



We're not saying how old he is.

But it rhymes with mixty.

And it's one year older than British Open runner-up, Tom Watson.

Who is 59.




*lots of great pictures, coming soon..

One more, for good measure...

Awesome shoes, eh?

A sneeze, in three parts

Ellie going berzerk...

Accompanied by a little high-pitched squeal of delight.



Definitely our favorite new trick.

Ellie 2 - Electric Boogaloo

There's really nothing Eleanor likes more than cutting loose to the old-timey sounds of the Sunday night band at the Wallingford Tutta Bella*.





Except maybe doing this...








*AKA, Neapolitan Chuck E. Cheese

What a great weekend!

Mark, Sarah and Kai came to visit and Ellie had tons of fun (as did we).

Lots of boating, BBQ-ing, hanging out with friends and appearing to share with Kai...

Sisters Part Deux

So many new photos to post... Where to start?

How about with our awesome new jean skirt...
