Miss you Daddy!

Water Park

Here we are at a public pool with water play area we just discovered yesterday. Not sure if the grown-ups had more fun going down the adult water slide and playing water basketball or if Ella had the most fun!  ;) Ella did have a blast walking around the kiddie pool, chasing a probably 3 year old little boy around the pool yelling,  "Come here, boy" as he fearfully ran away from her!  (sorry Joshua! ;)

Thanks Gee Gee!

Thanks for coming to see me, Gee Gee!  Here I am in my birthday suit--HAHA!!  ;)  Miss you!!

Love,  Ella

Happy Birthday Ella!!  We love you!!!

One lonely photo from Austin...

Too busy to take pics!  Interviews, looking for property, etc...  Here's Ella at the outlet mall in Round Rock--poor Gee Gee probably didn't get a chance to take photos either....  Thanks for all my goodies Gee Gee!

However, the night before we left Austin, Ella had a BLAST playing with her friends  Nicole and Brynna...soon we will be neighbors--yippee!!

hugging baby alexandra...

Think someone's ready to head back home...

Ella decided to chill in Daddy's suitcase with some goldfish and her favorite blanket, "mimi".

Ferris Wheel...Solar Powered!

This ferris wheel had an amazing light show every night, and solar-powered to boot!  Ella was kind of obsessed with it...whoda thunk with her poker face!  ;)  Apparently it was a new ferris wheel, with the old one having been sold on ebay...  It was on the end  of the pier, over the ocean...

Our little fish couldn't get enough of the water!

Mommy and Daddy found the key to a restful vacation--just spend the whole day at the pool!  (At the end of the day Ella kept saying "Ella happy!")

Me and baby alexandra...
