Flight Suits and Fairytales: Great Weekend!

Chris had his first cross-country trip this past weekend, and his mom & Mike came out to keep me company while he was gone. Well, that's what I tell myself anyway. In reality, I think their trip had a lot more to do with a sweet little girl named Elli than anything else! But whatever their reasons, I always love it when they come...and this time was no different!

Elli had a great time showing them all of her "tricks", and she didn't mind all the kisses and snuggles she got too much either! GG got to see how she flaps when she eats, how much she loves to read, and how great she is at playing with her paci & figuring out how to put it back in her mouth. There was a lot of rocking going on as well...that's Grandaddy's specialty :) Elli just soaked up all the attention, and I sure did appreciate the company.

Gayle (aka GG), also gave me yet another tutorial on my sewing machine. I figured I should probably dust it off since it hasn't really been used since the first time she was out here...when Elli was born!! So I finished a tab blanket that I've been working on for the past 5 months or so. Woohoo for me!! And then, after they left, I decided to try my hand at making a pillowcase dress for Elli all by myself...but that's a different post! Anyway, I had such a great time with them and I'm so glad that they were able to spend some time w/ Chris before they had to leave on Monday, even if it was only for a few hours. Oh, and for those of you reading who live in Columbus, we tried a new steak place and it was FABULOUS!! Best steaks I've ever had!! It's called Jack's and it's on Tuscaloosa Rd. Just thought I'd pass that little gem on :)

Here are some pics of the weekend...

GG & Elli...so cute! And guess what?! GG made that sweet little sweater that L's wearing. It has the most precious little bunny buttons on it. It is PERFECT for Easter, and I know that Elli will just treasure it forever.
