Nov 09 Photo Recap
Nov 2009 Recap:
In the beginning of Nov, we went to Ashley's parents farm outside of Athens to cheer on the Dawgs. Ella had her first taste of "country living" when she rode on the gator & 4 wheeler. Whooo! Here's a picture of all us in front of the old cabin talking about our camp outs & the good ole WHS days.
Then we celebrate my last birthday in the 20's.
Thanksgiving morning Skip & I ran the Atlanta Half Marathon. (and better yet we survived!)
Then we drove up to Gainesville for Mrs. Brown's side of the family turkey feast. Here's a picture of whole Brown family.
Then we drove over to Marietta for my family's Thanksgiving dinner at GG's. Here's a picture of Ella underneath GG's dining room table looking at all the kitty photos. (When I was younger I used to cut out pictures of kitties & tape them underneath my grandmother's dining room table - yes this is what you do when you are an only child - you make up fun games by yourself) Ella thought this was pretty neat and sat under there saying "hi kitty!"
Then keeping up with the Brown family holiday traditions we picked out our Christmas tree & went to see the Night of Lights. Ella loved sitting up front with Daddy & everytime she saw a Santa she would say "ho ho ho!"

Ella playing with her cousins Jenna & Meredith. And by playing I mean Ella taking all of Jenna's jewelry & running. ;-)

Ok so we had disappeared for awhile, but we are back! Since we have so much to catch up on this might be a little piecey but hopefully everyone can follow along....So since our last post was from the beginning of Oct I guess that's where will begin. I like to think of this as starting a diet so you have to start somewhere, right? ;-) Mid-October, the fam went to Chicago to watch Skip run in the Chicago Marathon. We had a blast even though it was really cold. (yes it is a little ironic that I thought Chicago was cold when it is now 20 degrees in Atlanta!) We ran (no pun intended Skip) all around seeing Michigan Ave, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Grant Park, Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, & the Children's Museum.
Ella running down Michigan Ave all bundled up!
Ella & I with Daddy after the race. We are so proud of him!

You know you are in North Georgia when....
Last weekend we went up to the Brown's cabin, for a family fun weekend. We had a great time hanging out with everyone and I know Ella loved running all around! Since fall is in the air we tried to make the most out of our North GA weekend. We went to a pumpkin patch but it was closed (how you can be a pumpkin patch closed in October I am really not sure but whatever) so to make everyone feel festive we decided to go to the Suches Indian Fall Festival. We really did have a great time there but only at a true North GA festival will you find a real Turkey Shoot. There's nothing like listening to bluegrass, eating boiled peanuts and then hear boom. Sorry Tom Turkey your number was up! After several booms we decided to head back to watch to the GA game. Needless to say after saying goodbye to Tom & the Dawgs we all needed a drink & campfire. ;-)

A day at the park...
Since we have been having such amazing weather, we made a trip to our local park. They have tons to do there with a lake, playground, trails and more! Here are some photos....
Ella picking up leaves. This is definitely one of her favorite activities lately. She really loves the brown, crunchy, half-way decomposed leaves. Go figure?

September in a nutshell
September in nutshell. [meaning I am so behind so here's more photos & less talking, enjoy! ;-)]
Little person, Big tank.
Ella checking out the jellyfish. I think this photo is so cool since it shows her little profile perfectly!
You could watch these things for hours.
Ella saying "Goooo Dawgs!" Not perfectly, but you totally get the gist.

Do you think she likes ice cream? Here she comes for a big bite!
How much fun to see what a difference a year can make! Last year she was just 8 weeks old & was a little glow worm & now she is 14 months and walking all around. Well walking everywhere except the sand. Notice in the photos that she is either standing on a towel or being held. Needless to say of the hundreds of kids frolicking in the sand, Ella was the one child that would not leave the towel unless she was in someones arms or had her little Tevas on. But she did love the ocean and kept sticking her salty little fingers in her mouth.
On Labor Day we went to the GA aquarium.....She loved it so much we ended up getting season passes.
Daddy & Ella in the underwater tunnel. She was going crazy pointing in every direction saying ooooh!
