A Visit From Aunt Tracey

Aunt Tracey came to visit two weekends ago, even giving Kurt and I a night off so we could go see a movie (it was our anniversary)! Unfortunately, as you can see below, Aunt Tracey was a bad influence. Ella spent much of the weekend texting on Aunt Tracey's phone.



We went to the beach on Saturday morning . . . we had a little section all to ourselves.

Jackie O. or Bono--you decide.

Aunt Tracey kept setting up a one-bucket sand castle near the water whenever the waves went out so she and Ella could watch the next wave demolish it. Here they are watching one such castle fall to ruin in the waves.

Tracey made the donuts and Ella smashed them--what teamwork!

Back at home, Ella shares her love of reading with her little sis . . .

She holds her hand . . .

She gives her a shoulder to lean on . . .

And she loves to point out her favorite part in the new Wiggles DVD . . .

Thanks for the visit and the babysitting Aunt Tracey!!!
