Gaga and Papa's visit

We had such a great time when Gaga and Papa visited for a few days! Ellie was Gaga's little shadow the whole time -- she loved exploring the backyard with her and just generally wanted to be wherever Gaga was.

Ellie loves her Papa too! He was the first person she asked for when she woke up and she still asks where he is -- she likes looking at the picture of him on the fridge and just saying 'Papa, Papa' over and over again.

We went to McKinney and visited some friends of theirs, which was nice, but the highlight of the trip was probably the trip to the swimming pool. It had a beach entry so Ellie could walk in at her own pace - she loved it! We stayed in about a foot of water most of the time and Ellie thought it was pretty cool that she could walk around. She also went down a water slide by herself for the first time. We thought it might be a bit much for her, but she just kept doing the sign for 'again' over and over.

Ed and I compared bellies -- I think he won, but I'm catching up!It was so nice to have Gaga and Papa's company -- we always love their visits and appreciate everything they do while they're here -- I get so much done!
