North Carolina Trip

In mid-March Ella and I went to NC for a week to visit family in Charlotte, and for me to go into my office in Raleigh for a few days.

We flew up on Friday morning, and went out to Mexican for dinner that night. Ella and Cameron were so happy to be back together!

Erin, Cameron, Ella and I went to visit Dad and Donna on Saturday, and Ella and Cameron were very excited to discover an Easter egg hunt as soon as we arrived!

They were so cute hunting for eggs together. Cameron would yell out "I find one! I find one!" each time he found them, and Ella was really sweet sharing the eggs that she found.

On Sunday night I drove over to Raleigh and then on Monday, Mom and Glenn took Ella and Cameron to Great Wolf Lodge, or "Great Woof" as Ella calls it. They had a wonderful time together, and Ella loved her time at the water park, and all of the other fun activities they did.

Some pics that Mom texted from their trip -

Storytime before bed

Unfortunately Ella ended up getting sick on Wednesday, and we were scheduled to fly back on Thursday afternoon, but had a really bad night and was still sick on Thursday morning so we pushed our trip back until Friday afternoon.  Even though she didn't feel well on Friday she was a lot better than Thursday, and did great traveling back. We got home and rested up for the weekend and by Sunday afternoon she was back to her normal happy self! 

Trip to NC

Once again I am very behind in my blogging, and have so much to catch up on!

In early October Ella and I went to NC to visit family in Charlotte, and so that I could go to my office for a few days.  Ella was beyond excited and could think of nothing else for the weeks leading up to our trip. We were able to see Mom and Glenn, Dad and Donna, and Erin, Josh and Cameron  And it was even more special because Gee-Gee came in for the weekend. 

Reunited at long last!!

These two are really just the cutest together, they are inseparable buddies and love each other so much.

On Saturday we did our first pre-Halloween activity and headed to a pumpkin patch.

Later that day, having more fun together, chasing bubbles and bouncing

On Sunday we went to Dad and Donna's and had a great time with them, and of course Ella and Cameron continued their fun.

I drove over to Raleigh on Sunday evening, and then Mom and Glenn took Ella and Cameron to Great Wolf Lodge on Monday to continue the party weekend!

Mom and Ella had two days together at Great Wolf Lodge for some very fun Grammy-Ella time.

Storytime with Violet

With "Bones" - Ella loves skeletons and they couldn't pass up this amazing deal :)

When they got back on Wednesday afternoon, Mom took Ella to pick Cameron up from school -- could they be any more precious?!

It was so nice knowing that Ella was having such a wonderful time while I got in a few days in the office (and some great time with girlfriends in the evenings!) I drove back to Charlotte on Wednesday after work, and then we flew home on Thursday afternoon. As always we were sad to leave, but happy to get home to Steve and so glad to have been able to go and have such a wonderful time seeing everyone.
