Family pics

We had our friend Stephanie take family pictures. Enjoy!

Well-Traveled Baby

Well, after the wedding in California, we headed up the coast for a mini-vacation in Santa Barbara, and then traveled to Wisconsin for the next beautiful family wedding - Congrats Tina and Alex! Ella stayed in a total of four different hotels and went on five different flights. She did quite well, all things considered. Although she didn't mind telling us that she had had enough on the last two flights. She had a wonderful time meeting many members of her extended family. It has been quite rough (especially for her parents) to return to reality (i.e., work!).

Showing off the room in Santa Barbara.

We went to the Santa Barbara zoo - and Sophie got to meet life-sized Sophie!

Ella's favorite exhibit - the children.

Happy with Dad.

Ella was quite fascinated with the elephants - can't you tell?

Flamingos. They share Ella's love of pink!

Santa Barbara beaches.

The water is cold!

Toes in the sand.

In Ojai. Ella's first time in a swing!

Ella loved it!

Ojai is - hot!

Mom - can we live in Santa Barbara forever??

In Wisconsin - rehearsal dinner!

And these are only some of Ella's cousins (first cousins once removed? second cousins?)

Anyway, isn't she lucky!!

Starting early.

Letting Uncle David know exactly how she feels.

Party dress!

She loved Beth's earrings....

And Beth's bracelet.

Great Papa!

Belle of the Ball

Nope, it's not Ella we're talking about! This beautiful belle was cousin Mary. We got to go to her amazing beach wedding in California this past weekend. Such a happy and beautiful couple! Congrats Mary and Steve!


But I'll let Mary share the rest of the pictures from her big day. And as this blog is devoted to Ella, here are some pictures of our own little beauty:
