Ellie and Olivia

Olivia (left) and Ellie (right) on matching diving boards!

Yesterday's pool adventure Ellie caught up with Olivia.  You see these two go way back ... to kindergarten.  And they've been on the same soccer team, seen each other at Grove events and State Farm events ... and they are both only children.

If you go far enough back with Olivia, you may recall she is the one who puked on Ellie one afternoon in Kindergarten.  But through it all they have remained friends.

Bill and Ellie found the Corson's yesterday with Olivia and they hooked up for swimming and lunch.  And in the end they asked if they could take Ellie with Olivia to the McLean County Fair on 8/3 for the Country Financial (other big company in town) Day at the Fair.  What a treat!

So the independence begins.  I'm finding that Ellie is developing a social life outside of us, and activities that she gravitates toward.  Friday she insisted on going to Bright Horizons even though we were both home, and now she's making plans with friends!

And so it begins ...

Oh Dear Sis, So it has started and never ends. Hard to let go but enjoy all the different stages of her life. It goes by fast. XOXO
