ok you are about to be hit by a ton of pictures. there are seriously like 20 on this post, and that is with me picking and choosing. i really need to cut back! we had so much fun hanging with deej and libby over memorial weekend. we shopped, ate, went to a pirates game, saw fireworks, movies, museums, a bbq, and chatted late in to the night... oh and ate some more. nothing like catching up with good friends! they were such wonderful hosts/tour guides, we miss them already!

yes there were some happy moments during the 22 hours spent in the car...

we went to the children's museum friday morning. if any of you have heard landen's impression of "hello king friday" you would know why he was extremely happy to find out that half the museum was dedicated to mr. roger's neighborhood, who is from pittsburgh. we had to have a picture in the castle! we are easily entertained...

soph was loving the lite brite...

"s" for sophie...

and i was loving this butterfly. all recycled materials, very impressive
we did a little profiling outside the museum with these super random statues...

they took us to the cathedral of learning which looked like a scene straight from hogwarts...

and we found some royalty inside...

then off to a pirates game {i think this was the first time i'd ever heard of the pirates, yes that's MLB folks} in the coolest stadium on the water

with a view of the city from the inside. followed by a fireworks show from the rooftop of the parking garage. oooh ahhh!

soph thoroughly enjoyed people watching... just like her mama!

so we got back and realized that we had no proof that we actually SAW dj and libby, except for the picture above (that's dj holding soph) and the picture below, which i officially had to crop myself out of because of how much i resembled a monster. i kid you not. landen was even laughing. and no, it wasn't dj's photography skills, it was completely my hideous face. and i normally don't really care. probably because i was sitting next to darling libby... we'll just keep it at that. so sad... we are taking more pictures of our friends rather than our child next time promise!soph was in love with reggie. such cute playmates.

and in no way does that ever mean we will be getting a dog for her to play with. she'll have to get used to soft plush stuffed dogs for the rest of her life. :) of course no reflection on reggie.

and if you can remember this far back, i have to log this all down. for those of you who know my dad, i'm definitely the daughter of rob ellison. what can i say. it just runs in my blood. soph has now been in like 16 something states. i'd say she's off to a good start!

closest we've come to new york city. we'll get there. and yes we passed through scranton, pa. home of the office. we had to document that! are you sick of us yet? i think my drugs are kicking in... definitely time to get over this sickness.

oh but WAIT! one more thing. my best friend ashley had her sweet baby boy caden yesterday. you have to see him here. he's so sweet! we're so proud of you ash! congrats! he was born on my SIL krissi's b-day! so happy birthday to you both!!
