Happy Weekend!

It's been really busy - but we do find some time to relax :)

Some pre-bedtime coloring.

Off to bed! Night-night!

Multi-Tasking

This is a little old...but here's a video of Ella on 4th of July multi-tasking -- i.e., on the phone and dancing!

While Mom is at Work...

I get to play! Pool, ducks, "neighs," and gym. What a life!

Family Weekend!

I got to see lots of family this weekend! It was Poppa's birthday, and we celebrated with brunch. Uncle David and Aunt Farrell came up to! And Uncle Brent was also home from NYC for the weekend. I got to see all my Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents all in one weekend. Wow!

It was too hot for the pool . . . so Uncle Brent and Ella improvised!

Celebrating Poppa's birthday with bubbles!

Eating cupcakes at my new table at Grammy and Poppa's.

Love my table!

Twins from China!

Last weekend we got to go to the second birthday party for Mackenzie and Mackaylee, the adopted twin daughters of our friends who live in China. Luckily, they were back in the area visiting so we got to meet the girls and enjoy the festivities! They are so precious!

The twins take turns sitting on the step.

Someone found a sword! (It's a paper sword, don't worry).

Kiss!

Ella's first time playing with playdoh.

The mamas (with only one of the twins).

Ella has learned to blow bubbles!

Red, White & Blue!

Wow! What a weekend! Long weekend with Mama and Dada. BBQ at Nana's house. Two days in Annapolis complete with sailing and fireworks! Yippee!

Chowing on ice cream and cobbler.

Family dinner.

Movie star!

At Burke Lake with Mama and Nana.

Reading the instructions about how to put my swing up. Not sure how I feel about this...

I like this!

Can Eli ride with me please?

Eli, isn't swinging fun!

Poolside.

Chilin' with Mama.

This is my mama.

Getting ready to ride the train. Choo choo!

Reading on the lawn. This is the life.

Then, off to Annapolis. Feeding the ducks!

Sailing!

Not so into this life jacket...

Mommy and Daddy thought I might be fussy because it was naptime. But instead I was a good girl and just took a nap during the sail!

Captain Ella!

How cute am I??

On a very important call. (Ello! Ello!)

Goofball.

I love the mirror. I say "Ella" whenever I see myself!

As you can see, I love Ella very much.

Out to dinner.

I love arranging chairs. It's my new favorite activity. Keeps me very busy at restaurants.

Watching the parade. It came right by our dinner table. I loved the horses. I kept asking for the "neigh neigh."

A better view.

Look! My mom kept calling me Marilyn. I don't know who that is. But it was so fun to stand on the grate. Boy did I stop traffic!

Happy 4th!
