Road Trip

Yesterday, we decided it might be time for a little road trip.  So, Granna, Papa, Jason, Ella and I all piled in to the car and headed down to Hartsville, SC to visit with Ella's great-grandparents on the Kelley side of the family.  Luckily, riding in the car is one of Ella's favorites - minus those pesky red lights.  Who wants to stop at red lights anyway?  Not our Ella - always needs to be on the move!  She was very well behaved for both legs of the car trip.  In fact, she slept the whole way both times - well, almost the whole way.  She did wake up a couple of times to eat.  You know our Ella never misses a meal!!   

It was great to see Bobbie and Dick and we were so glad Ella finally got to meet them both! We had a nice lunch and a fun visit.  We even got to see some of Papa's pictures and artwork from when he was little :)  Here are some pictures from our visit...

Meeting Great-grandmother Bobbie for the first time :)

Ella needed a little nap after all the excitement and Granna was happy to oblige :)
In other news, we have a hit a big milestone that Mom and Dad could not be more excited about...we are SMILING!  Hooray :)  Ella is now smiling big, genuine, not-gas-related smiles!!  We love it.  Nothing could melt your heart more than seeing that sweet little face light up.  I promise to post a picture as soon as I an capture this exciting event on camera.
