All Good Things...

All good things must come to an end, that's what they say. Well, Uncle Mike's visit did come to an end, teary as it was. But the memories and good times to come we're sure won't. It was a wonderful week and amazing weekend. Ella had lots of fun with her favorite Godfather. He taught her some very important things. For example, how to put a quarter in an arcade game and how to play centipede.

Uncle Mike also bought Ella her very first bouncy ball.

Then we took a little trip to Rhode Island to visit Nana for her birthday. We took a nice walk, ate a yummy lunch, and then it was off to the park!!

We stretched our legs on the way home and did a little window shopping.

On our last day with Uncle Mike we packed in a lot of fun and smiles. We ate lunch at Dad's work, played with the train table - even though some other little girls didn't want to share, and finally headed to a new play place a few towns away. We got many recommendations for Noodle, Noggin', and Bean - a playplace for kids under 5. We went - we played, and then we napped in the car on the ride to the airport.

We had lots of fun, hugs, and an amazing amount of laughs with Uncle Mike. We tried to have Uncle Mike stay with us and be our live-in Uncle, but he declined. We suppose it is a good idea for him to finish his last year at USF. But boy are we going to miss him. We love you Uncle Mike!!
