July Part II

A fun Chattanooga baseball game with awesome seats.  Ellie and Julia were inside the air conditioning with their Papa!
Ellie had communicated with us again that she didn't like loud noise/music so she stated inside the whole time and had a nice little set up.

She was quite happy away from all the action.

Meanwhile these three were hoping to catch a fly ball.

A fun memory - doughnuts for dessert.  Ellie got so excited when she saw them!

A special souvenir all the way from Australia from her Uncle Ken and Aunt Colleen!

Time for Ellie and the kangaroo to go night night!

Ellie likes to help play games with us!

Hmmmm...which one should I pick?

She got really brave this time with swimming and didn't want her float any more. Luckily she clings to you like a monkey when you're holding her in the water.





Ellie's first time bowling!  She got really into it!!!!
She would go crazy cheering and jumping when she let the ball go.  I wish I could say she stayed in one place when we bowled but she made a few friends a couple lanes over.  She was hard to watch, she is a fast one!

Pizza time!  Love watching Ellie eat!

Go at it girl!


The children are so loved at their second home in Tennessee!
At a Braves game for one of the last games at Turner Field!  We had one uncle with us in person and one in our thoughts.

Braves score winning run!  Xavier was a little...pumped!
Ellie had a wonderful summer and really traveled fairly easily and handled all the excitement quite well.  Some things she skipped like a movie or the Atlanta baseball game and stayed home with a grandparent.  It all worked out to be the best decision for her - the heat, the noise, all the sitting. In fact we give a lot of credit to our other kids for being such troopers.  When did they get so big on us???
