asteroid B612

I loaded up Ellis and Marlowe on Monday and went to spend a few days in Lancaster at my mom's. E's summer session at school starts tomorrow, so I wanted to get a visit in before that. I wanted my great-aunt and uncle to meet Marlowe, and we had lunch and a great visit with them. Aunt Lee loves babies, and it's so fun to see her love on mine.

Then we went down to visit my grandma. Ellis was such a buddy! He knew where we were when we got there, and brought in his puzzle book to show her. He plopped up on her bed and patted next to him for her to sit, but she is confined to a motorized wheelchair, so she couldn't, but she had fun looking at his book with him. And he performed his colors admirably. Much to the delight of her former schoolteacher's heart. She gave him a ride on the wheelchair holding him in her lap. I think she has more fun with this age.

And mommy and grandma were not too proud to sit outside in the baby pool with Ellis later. It was a hot day and the water felt great. Esp when E sprayed us in the face. haha!

E didn't sleep very well while we were gone, so I'm kind of tired. But it was nice to have an extra pair of hands to hold the baby, to have someone feed me when I was SO hungry (which I am ALL THE TIME--and I have a fat baby to prove it!), and to have a park to walk to a few blocks away.

We came home this evening. Ellis did not follow the plan and fall asleep in teh car, so he had a rather late bedtime. Hope it doesn't mess us up for school tomorrow, especially since he'll get to ride the bus for the first time.
