Ellis and Donnie

On Sundays we almost always go to the Weaver's for dinner. This last Sunday it ended up being just Pasha and her family, Loni and I and our family and Gary & Lanae. Pasha has a son (Donnie) who is 2 1/2 and who adores Ellis. Every time he sees her he yells: Llis (he is still working on his pronunciation)! He is so cute - he will give her kisses, share things with her and show her around. On Sunday they were the biggest hams: everything Donnie would do, Ellis would copy. Donnie would fling himself on the couch - and Ellis would run over and fling herself on the couch. Donnie would climb up the stairs, Ellis would climb up the stairs. Donnie would stomp on the front porch, Ellis would stomp on the front porch, and so on. The cutest thing was I walked in and Donnie was leading Ellis by the hand into the kitchen. It really melted my heart to see them act so nice to eachother. He is so sweet to her and I am very excited to see them grow up together. He is such an energetic little boy who is curious about everything. They are destined to be great friends because, as Pasha put it, "they won't have a choice!". So I had to get some pics of them holding hands.


Oh, yeah: doesn't Ellis look ADORABLE in those shorts? Her little chubby legs are so cute and she LOVED wearing them. She would touch her legs and then run back and forth with her little butt shaking.
