Elcee and Abee Getting Ready for Night Night

Elcee loves to go to sleep at night. She runs in eager anticipation to go to bed. Tonight Justin was gone to a Bible Study and so I was putting both the girls to sleep. I was reading Elcee a story in her room and put Abee to rest in Elcee's bed while I was reading when we were done, Elcee wanted Abee to sleep with her. I hope that Elcee is always this nice to Abee. It was so sweet to see Elcee so badly wanting her sister to stay with her. Of course, by the time I get my camera, the moment is passed, but here is Elcee being sweet to Abee.


Elcee helping with the laundry

As in any household the laundry is a never ending process. Elcee Pearl loves to help me do chores... I hope that it last forever, but for now we take her help. She has her own way of helping us, which most of you will understand actually means double the work, but she is truly trying to help and she is so willing to help. Below is a sweet video of Elcee and her type A personality where everything
must be just so in order to help me fold the laundry.

Elcee Birthday and Cherry Blossom Festival

Below are a few more pictures from Elcee's birthday. Elcee birthday is always so fun b/c it coincides with the Cherry Blossom Festival. Which is a 2 week festival here in Macon with lots of fun activities. Elcee got to go see the sea lions and was treated to her first ride on the carousel by her Dew Dad. It was a special day and we look forward to the festival for many more years.

Abee in her Elmo costume. She looks so cute and her Elmo costume even talked. I think that it was so big on her she can wear it for Halloween.

Elcee's 2 year old birthday

On March 26th we celebrated Elcee Pearl's 2 year old birthday. It is so crazy to think how fast 2 years have gone. Elcee brings such sweet joy to our lives. She is such a happy child and she blesses our lives in so many ways. Elcee loves to play outside and will beg you to go outside and cry when she has to come in no matter how long she has been out there for. Elcee loves to go to sleep and oftentimes asks us if she can go to bed and will run down the hall way to get to go to sleep. Elcee is a walking parrot, who repeats whatever you say and questions all the time and speaks in paragraphs.

Elcee is so sweet to her sister, she is very possessive of her. Elcee loves her and worries about her and cannot handle for Abee to cry, so much so that a few Sunday's ago at church, she told her nursery worker that she needed to go to the other room to check on Abee b/c she heard Abee crying. We are so thankful for Elcee and pray that she would love the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind and strength. We could not be blessed more by the small things that Elcee does every day. She is the meaning of her name... Elcee means joy and she brings such joy to our lives.

Elcee had an Elmo party, b/c that is really the only person she knows anyway. It was a beautiful day and she was so excited. We were so thankful that our family was able to come and our special neighbors Mema and Grand daddy Moss. We went to the park for a cook-out. My mom surprised us with Elmo shirts for everyone and a special Elmo dress for Elcee that she made.

These were the two things that she had been telling us she wanted. We are so thankful that her grandparents were able to make her day!
