sleepover at Eva's.

Last Saturday we dropped Miss Ellee off at our friends Jeremy and Amy's.  They have a little girl named Eva who is 2 months older than Ellee.   This was the first time we have had Ellee stay overnight with someone other than family.  I was a bit nervous.  Not because I was leaving her with Jeremy and Amy but, because I wasn't sure how Ellee would react.  Apparently I had no reason to be nervous because Ellee did great!  She had a lot of fun playing with Eva and she got along great with Jeremy and Amy.  Amy said that every time Jeremy would leave the room Ellee would tell him "bye-bye".
The only problem they had with Miss El was that she didn't want to sleep in the Pack n Play in their spare room.  Amy ended up sleeping on the couch with her.  It is so nice to have great friends we can trust with our little girl!

Here are the cell phone pics Amy sent to me:

Amy said that Ellee gave her and Jeremy lots of hug!

Yum, Yum - Eating some snacks!

Ellee found a new playhouse

While Ellee was having a great time playing with Eva, Shayne and I were hiking Mt St Helens.  Despite it being the hardest thing we have ever done it was well worth it and a lot of fun.  It was nice to have a short break from parenting but, we were so happy to pick up Miss El.  We missed her so much!  The look on her face when we walked through the door was priceless!  A combination of excitement/I'm going to cry/Is it really you??!!!  If you can imagine that. LOL! : )
