A day late

One Day old

Hey, look how cute I am

MJ and Ella

Proud Papa

Getting her "baby fix"

Another excellent Nancy breakfast

We had planned on getting to Michigan well before Dustin and MJ’s baby was due but Ella being a little girl had her own ideas. She was born on May 7^th instead of on the 21^st so we were still in Shipshewana at the time. We ended up getting here on the 8^th, a day late as usual. She is absolutely cute as a button and very well behaved. We are staying at a campground about six miles from Dustin’s’ so we get to spend a lot of time with  Ella and it’s a quick trip for Sheila to get her “baby fix”.  I am trying to teach Ella to bring Gramps a beer but it’s not going well so far. Guess I’ll have to step up my training.

Bruce and Nancy came to the campground for Memorial Day. Lynn, Rosie and Kelsey also got a campsite here so some of the family  celebrated the holiday together. The weather wasn’t great but good enough to spend a fair amount of time sitting around the campfire telling lies about the good old days. Dustin and MJ spend a lot of time teaching Ella about camping this weekend so everyone took turns spoiling her. Not bad only two weeks old and already an experienced camper.  It’s always fun to spend the holidays with family and this year was exceptionally good.

Now it’s time to start teaching Ella about golfing and fishing.
