One of my brothers was able to stay here in town over the weekend until Tuesday, so we tried to get out and do fun things as a family. Like -- bowling. This is one of my fave new pics, while Kim was helping Ellie push the ball down the lane on her turn Ellie all of a sudden discovered she had pockets and that her little hands fit in them. We couldn't get her to take her hands out of her pockets for like 5 minutes. There was a cute 20-year-old boy on one of the next lanes she went over, walked up to him, struck this pose, and ignored me. I couldn't believe it, only 20 mo old and already too cool for mom when the boys are around. I was also able to snap tons of pics of everyone else that will make awesome scrapbooking pics . . . little kids do cute things in a bowling alley. I have to admit Ellie's age and personality wasn't ready for it yet. I was constantly running after her and saving her life . . . whether it was grabbing her back from running down the waxed lane so she wouldn't crack her head open, or the time I grabbed her back from crawling down the area between 2 lanes (yep, she was up in between to neighboring gutters about 4 feet down by the time I got her), or the time I grabbed her back from walking up behind my dad when it was his turn, or the time she's throwing a tantrum because I wouldn't let her carry the ball on her own and I had to lay her down on the hardwood floor to wait it out (if I hadn't laid her down she would have sat down and then thrown her head back as hard as possible on the floor -- it's her tantrum thing) . . . anyway, you see the point.

I LOVE that pose! What a super-cutie-pie! Glad you guys are doing well up in Poky. We miss you! We'll be up there for the 4th of July, so let's hang out!
