Despite my allergies- which were pretty bad yesterday- we headed downtown Holland and sat outside (after getting ice cream!) I'm almost sure I feel worse at home with our lawn of weeds out back. Anyway, the kids played and enjoyed themselves while we enjoyed eating ALL of our rich, fattening, Coldstone ice cream!

We also had Taylor for the night and Mayci loves to be around her- which makes me wonder if Mayci- too- would be a wonderful big sister???? Scratch!!! Back to reality.. two girls is plen-ty.
Ellery didn't want us to take a picture of her beautiful blue eyes so I snuck one of her and got this... isn't she cute ?
Mayci had her first 'real' cone last night... she usually either has only a plain cone or ice cream in a bowl- but we were feeling brave I guess and let her make a mess with both. She was so excited that she really wasn't even eating much of it! Just carrying it around with a big smile!
