Playtime with Grams

A girl after her mother's heart...quesadilla!

Playing tic-tac-toe with Dad at the park

Walking, kind of...

A taste of Ella's newfound skill...she's not good on comand.

Easter

Happy Easter, Everybody!

Match Day!

At 1:00 pm today we found out where Greg matched for Internship and Residency

We will be in Phoenix at St. Joeseph's Hospital for his first year Internship and then make a move north to Portland, Oregon where Greg will complete his Residency in Anesthesia. We are thrilled to live near family for a while in Arizona, and then near so many dear friends in the Pacific Northwest!

Most of all, CONGRATULATIONS to Greg!
You set your sights high, and attained even greater heights. I am so proud of you!

Loggerhead Marine Life Center

We visited the rescued sea turtles at the Loggerhead Marine Life Center today. Ella loved watching them swim in their tanks, waving and saying 'hi' to them as they flirted with her through the windows.

Walking Shoes and Baseball

Ella got her first pair of real shoes this weekend. After the shock wore off from an old guy touching her feet at Stride-Rite, she seems to love her new kicks.

We went to a Spring Training game today...first time after two years and the stadium is less than a mile away. Everyone had fun, Ella actually wore her sunglasses for the first time and loved the music and cheering.

A Few More Birthday Photos

She gets the whole present concept now, but still likes tissue paper more than the present itself.

She really loves her new music table (Can you tell this was taken at the end of a rainy day? It looks like a bomb went off in there!)

Reading a new book with Dad

Grandma and Grandpa Franklin visit FL

We went to the Food Shack for lunch for what will probably be our last really tasty meal there before we move

On her birthday, mid-cupcake

On a nature walk led by Grandpa

Granny found Ella and Baby Grace matching dresses. Ella obviously thinks this is pretty cool!

Downward Dog

"Hi!"

Self-taught yogi. I'm waiting for her to bust out a sun salutation any day now.
