Ellie's Day Out

On Labor Day, Wesley and I found ourselves with the itch of cabin fever for the first time since we brought Ellie home.  Don't get me wrong, we haven't minded at all staying in over the past month. We have loved our low key living at home with our sweet baby girl as she has grown from premie to newborn. But, as Wesley pointed out, you really can only watch so many movies and hours of Netflicks before its time for a break for some fresh "out of the house" air.

A trip to the park would have been a great option, had it not been one million degrees outside.  Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit, but really anything over 90 degrees to me might as well be classified as one million.  I'm not going to lie, we pretty much sat around for a good hour while Ellie slept on the floor trying to figure out what to do.

By this time it was around 2PM, and we decided to venture out and have lunch at our favorite Mexican resturant.  It was a pretty safe bet that the lunch crowd had disppersed, and sure enough it had.  We were one of 3 families in there.  Ellie got a nice seat at the booth next to me!

Loving the taste of the "non-house" atmosphere, and since Ellie was sleeping so good in her car seat, we decided to be adventurous and head over Cary and walk through a few stores.  Thankfully, the stores where pretty low key.  Although, we were more than prepared to high tail it back to the car if they were packed full of shoppers.  Can you guess where Wesley wanted to go?

That evening we got to go visit the Nussmans and meet the twins, Samuel and Nora, in person!  It was so fun to see Ellie and her newest friends all together!!

They couldn't have been any cuter!!!
