A Weekend With Family

On Friday afternoon we headed north to Tennessee to visit with our family. It was our usual too short visit, but we made the most of our time together on Saturday. Ella Ann and Carter picked up where they left off and were best buds again after Ella Ann took about 10 minutes to warm up. After that, they were inseparable all weekend. Poor Seth did his best to keep up with them and wanted so badly to play, but I think he was ignored by them most of the time! :(
We had a good time hanging out on Saturday. I got to do a little shopping with Gayla while the kids slept, so that was fun! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too great so Carter and Ella Ann had to burn off their energy by running in circles all around the house!

We left early Sunday morning and Ella Ann was not happy about leaving. She, as do Spencer and I, always has such a good time! Thanks again Zach and Mandy!

Everyone is under the table "fixing" it with Carter's tools!

She found Spencer's old helmet that Carter had and kept wearing it throughout the day on Saturday! She would take it off and fix her hair and then put it back on!

The endless reading of books by Nana and Papa during every single visit! They are easily suckered in! :)

Playing doctor with Seth!

Anything Carter did, Ella Ann was sure to follow. He wanted his milk out...so did Ella Ann!

I was trying to put Ella Ann's pj's on her, but she insisted on running around naked for quite some time with Carter chasing her! They really do have so much fun together!

She's at break-neck speed coming around the corner with Carter close behind! By the way, they are squealing and screeching as they run!

Carter would throw the ball and it would bounce off Ella Ann's helmet! It was SO funny to try and watch her hold her head so stiff trying to keep that helmet in place!
