We're Back!!

We got back Wednesday from a FABULOUS almost two weeks with both families.  Abby Jane turned 6 months old, started teething, kind of pulled up, said "Hi Dad" on cue four times, and best of all, played with lots of cousins!  Here's the Elliott side crew of cousins at the beach house on Harbor Island, SC (from left to right: my brother Greg holding Abby Jane (6 months) and Ashley (2 months), Katie (4), Scott (5), Ryan (3), and Ian (2).)

Abby Jane never lacked for entertainment or being offered objects to teethe on...

Abby Jane got to meet her newest cousin, Ashley... matching outfits are courtesy of Ashley's mom, Susan!Lunch time was loaded with entertainment, watching all those kids interact- Abby Jane watched from a safe distance with her Grammy...She loved playing in the warm ocean water- believe it or not, she lives at the beach, but it was her first time to get anything more than the tips of her toes in the water- the Pacific is TOO cold!
Our little family at the pool...

The whole gang- my mom was fit to be tied to have everyone under one roof!
A few shots from her 6 month photo shoot while we were there...


Then we went joined the Gross family, and Abby Jane got to play with Cade, who is 17 months.  Here they are with Aunt Betsy...
We have some priceless pictures from the two of them playing this day- they were SO funny! Great rehearsal dinner material...

Mimi and Pop Pop had a great time with the two grandbabies in the same place!


And now that we're home, she's trying really hard to crawl- oh my goodness!  By the way, she did great on the flights both ways- praise the Lord!

I found your blog through Joy Jonas's blog. Abby Jane is so cute! It sounds like you had a great trip. I am sure you are glad to be home. I look forward to keeping up with your sweet little family! I hope all of you are doing well!
