                                            Ella made a dog out of Legos, she is so talented!

      The girls in the American Girl store and of course all they cared about were the puppies, which is good b/c I will never buy them an American Girl.

                     Ella took this pic of Eva to make her have a silly face on an app on my phone.

        Evan got me a hot air balloon ride for our 6th anniversary last Sunday. It was a sunrise ride and it was simply splendid. It occurred at 630am and lasted an hour.

                     We went to our last REDS game on Tuesday, ate at Montgomery Inn on the water. Great food and great location. We all had fun!

                                             Evan took Eva in early to batting practice.

                                           Eva posing for daddy!

Ella and I went to an arcade and did some shopping!

                                              Eva got a ball at batting practice and was super stoked!

                                                  The family enjoying some snacks!

                                               The best picture ever of my girlies!

                        On the way home, we left Cincy at 1030 and got home around 1230! They were asleep within 15 minutes and slept comfortably the entire way.

                                                         Ella shooting some hoops!

                            The girls in front of Alum Creek dam! We were exploring places around Columbus!

                                          daddy day: baseball fun! Ella's batting

                                                                  Eva's playing the outfield

And daddy took them to the petstore, so they thoroughly enjoyed the day.

 

Well our life is staying busy, house hunting, savoring our last days of summer, and working. The girls have had a lot of daddy time since he hasn't been working Fridays and I have been working the weekends. Last Friday I worked and then met the girls downtown for an outdoor movie; Hotel Transylvania. The girls loved it, although we had to leave early because it started to rain. We plan on going to another one when grandma Lindahl is here. She comes home with us after our trip home to Minneapolis next weekend. Last Sunday and Evan got me a hotair balloon ride which was amazing for our 6th wedding anniversary,  It was actually on Monday and we just stayed in and I cooked an elegant dinner (lasagna, shrimp, and cake). On Tuesday we went to our last Reds game and enjoyed that but was exhausted from our late night home. Wednesday Ella had her kindergarten assessment. I can not believe she will be starting kindergarten :o( Makes me sad!  Friday I had off so Evan and I took the girls to explore a dam and new area of the city while looking a housing communities. We had a good day! I have worked all weekend but Evan has been spoiling the girls with celebratory ice cream and swiss cake rolls. The way to their heart is FOOD, sweet food!
