My sister, her youngest son Drew, and baby Ivy came to visit us over President’s Day weekend in February. Without older brothers Jake and Zane there, it was actually a great opportunity for Jack and Drew to spend some focused time together and bond. Ella hung out with the two boys, too, but I’m pretty sure she barely set Ivy down the entire weekend. Tracy and her crew pulled into our driveway and no sooner had Ella unclipped Ivy out of her car seat and was carrying her around over the driveway. It makes me pretty nervous, but Ella handles her well. I don’t blame Ella—Ivy sure is fun to hold and nothing’s sweeter than kissing that soft head. My sister and I had a nice time catching up and hanging out, too. We even went out perusing some shops together (with just Ivy) and had some girl time. But, once again (a la Thanksgiving), when Ivy’s around most pictures are focused on her. Come Hilton Head, though, I’ll be sure to include everyone else!

And, the Monday morning that Tracy, Drew, and Ivy left (Ella and Jack were in school that day for a make-up snow day), we did a little photo shoot with Ivy (Tracy didn’t plan on being in the pics) to mark her 3-month milestone.

{little miss ivy loves to flap with her arms and kick with her legs. busy, busy.}
