Home

Well, we made it home yesterday from our beach vacation. It's good to be home even though we had such a wonderful week. Elaina traveled very well. We are very pleased with how well she did. Here are some of the final shots of the trip. We are just taking it easy today before we have to jump back into reality tomorrow.

We told you that we went bike riding. The first few times we went with Elaina we did not get shots because our camera crapped out on us. But the last day we were there we took Elaina on a bike ride and got a few shots. She like riding bikes pretty well. Wednesday she did not like, Thursday she liked it, and Friday she liked it for about half the time.

All smiles....

Elaina with mommy. I did not like riding with her on the back. It made me nervous but I did just fine.

After our bike ride, Elaina sat down with me on the steps and cuddled.

More cuddiling on the couch - this is one of my favorite shots

just a cute shot of Elaina cuddled in my arms

After our bike ride, we went down to the beach for our last morning at the beach.

Here is a family shot

After Elaina's nap we went to the pool for our last pool visit. This is a shot of Elaina walking back to the house from the pool. She would walk out in front of us and didn't need direction on where to go at all. This is one of those shots that only a parent can appreciate. She looks so big walking all by herself up ahead. Just had to capture that moment on camera

We left Friday night so we could make it half way. We stayed the night in a hotel. This is a cute picture of Elaina sitting on the coffee table in the room reading the hotel menu

Finally, on Saturday, we stopped at my dad's house (Elaina's Pappaw) for lunch and quick visit. He has a pool so we let Elaina swim while we were there. As usual, she loved it. Here are some shots...

Jumping in - look at her facial expression. She loves jumping in....
