Elaina and Abbie's Last Day












Our final day with Elaina was lots of fun. We started out with Church in the morning, where the girls did great at "Kid Church" as Abbie calls it. Elaina got to dress in one of Abbie's outfits because it was unexpectedly cold Sunday morning. We had a great morning and spent the afternoon doing some fun crafts and more playing in the yard. (Who can complain about playing in the yard...always fun!) We also went on what we call a "Flower Walk" around our yard and NiNi and PawPaw's yard too. As things start to bloom (and I notice them...) we walk around the yard and talk about the flower and the color of the bloom, the smell...whatever comes to mind. Well, Dad's gorgeous yellow iris's were blooming on this particular day so we explored the flowers over there and also enjoyed the last of the azalea blooms. At the end of our day, we went to lunch with Tracy, Robert, Eric and Caden at Cracker Barrell. Aubrie was really tired by this point in the day. We sat at the table and she happened to end up between Robert and I. She laid her head down on the table and just stared at him for minutes on end. It was so cute...she was exhasted and needed to rest and she was also facinated by Robert. It was precious. The kids ate great and after returning home we vegged out watching TV and reading books until Elaina's mom and dad arrived to pick her up. What a delight to have such a sweet girl for the weekend!
