The next morning, Ella's back hiding in the couch.
|
|
This is good stuff!

"Bye for now, see you at the Race for Ellie!"
|
|
I love you SO MUCH, Ellie!
|
Time to cook our breakfast, starting with some PlayDoh eggs.
|
On Saturday morning, we take Aidan & Ayumi to the Vermilion sand castle building contest. Aidan wastes no time getting started!
|
Ella & I start the morning by building a whole Brio city, including an animal televangelist church, Christmastown, and Ella's restaurant!
|
|
Aidan & Jim, surely about to get themselves in trouble. Thank you all for a great weekend!
|
Before leaving for Detroit, we deck out the car with Penguins magnets and flags. Nothing like asking for trouble!
|
What better way to start out Independence Day than a lagoon cruise on Flounder?
|
Unbelievable. After swimming so far, she wants back in. This dog is NUTS! Thank you to everyone for a great weekend!
|
|
A good view of Columbus from our flight into town. You can see Paul & Chad's new condo building on the right!
|
Kris & Matt smile. Thanks to all for a great Christmas!!!
|
|
Detroit nearly doubled Pittsburgh in shots. Ugh. Game 2 is on Monday in Detroit... LET'S GO PENS!
|
|
Day 12: "Is it time to go yet?"
|
Attie getting ready for her first swim in Lake Keowee!
|
Murph & his Mom.
|
On our first warm-weather visit to Lake Keowee, Attie jumps right in!
|
|
Day 8: Kim attempts to teach an old dog new tricks.
|
1st Star: Sidney Crosby (1 goal, 1 disallowed goal that should have been allowed, 1 assist, and 4 shots).
|
|
We love and miss you, Murphy.
|
|
Finger lickin' good.
|
First up: breakfast at Pamela's in the Strip District.
|
Ella and I work on some drizzle trees.
|
|
|
|
John smiles as he dreams of what to eat next...
|
Ella plays some Candyland (the "Dora" version) with her Aunt Kim.
|
Mary, recovering from her food coma.
|
|
Kris, Kim, Cindy, Brit, & Julia.
|
You'd think Bill was carrying candy or something.
|
Ellie rides in the Mercedes again!
|
"Now THIS has an engine!"
|
|
"Uncle Mike, you need to grow up."
|
Dad looks down onto the harbor and longs deeply for the return of Hoo-Wah...
|
Mary joins us!
|
Back at the Powell Road house, Owen dons the red, white, and blue!
