Finally!

I am SO happy I got to spend time with Aria! I was beginning to doubt my crazy 'aunt' existed...

And I had fun playing with Annie again, too!

Thanksgiving

Look Mom, when you stop feeding me to take my picture, I can grab a handful of mashed potatoes from the bowl

In her party dress at Karl K's wedding

Dancing

Ella has always loved music. Now, whenever she hears a beat, she starts to bob her head and sometimes waves her arms. It doesn't matter what she's doing...once the beat starts, she starts to move. So cute!

Ella in November

I have been busy taking pictures of Ella using our film camera, and have very few recent photos to post. These are from Tuesday. We were listening to music and playing. She moves quickly these days so catching her for a photo is becoming more difficult. Yesterday she learned "So Big" which is adorable and will have to be posted soon. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Ella visits the Zoo

At the orangutans...there was a baby born a month before Ella, seen sitting on the rocks in the background

Boa constrictor

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Tired out after such an exciting morning

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time in Tucson for Halloween! Ella was the cutest witch we've ever seen.

With Dad at the party

With the big kids. Zoe is the vampire (scary, no?) and Maggie is the Cat in the Hat.

Trying to get a good photo of Ella in her costume. But we were having camera issues...this is the best we got.
