Catching up

Here's a quick update of recent events.

I drove way too much for four weeks in a row.

Ellie and I went to Columbus.
Mom and Dad agreed to keep Ellie for two weekends while Jim and I went turkey hunting.






Daddy couldn't let Eelie stay away for 2 weeks so we drove back to Mobile for a visit. Carter, my sister made the trip back to Mobile with us.

Then it was back to Columbus and on to Darlington for our second hunting weekend. The weather was bad so we left early to spend the rest of the weekend with my parents and went hunting at my Uncle's.

Then we headed back to Darlington to get Jim's truck and back to Mobile. Confusing, I know!

Baba came to spend the next week with us in Mobile. She helped me clean out Ellie's room and trade out the clothes she had already out grown. Then she kept Ellie for the third weekend in a row but this time down here.

We were able to have another successful hunt and returned early. Unfortunately we returned to plumbing issues, apparently we had roots growing in the pipes which backed everything up into the house. Fun, I know!

Then we returned to Columbus for Easter. We enjoyed spending time with my family even though we were the only ones from my generation that were there. We missed everyone who was away!

So we've done a lot of driving, hunting more than I thought we were going to be able to do this year, and enjoyed seeing friends and family in Columbus.

This is a picture from Ellie's 6 month portraits.
