Ellie - "Hey! Papa has a blog!"

Burger stealer!

Ellie eating my burger at Conways. Some of the best burgers around! (and the biggest!)

Duck.....

Adorable little duckling at the Riverwalk.

Bathtime!

Dog!

Ellie loves dogs so much! Everytime she sees one (real or not) she will shout "Dog!" And then try with all her little baby might to get to it. This dog, whose picture is causing a riot of shouts right now, is at a local Old Navy store. She cried a lot went I made her leave, the only thing that made her stop was all the shoes. (Something else that she seems to be obsessed with, Lord help us!)

Matt & Ellie

Ellie likes to sit near Matt when he practices for worship, so cute! Sometimes she will even sing along. Ellie would like to add "Dada! Dada!"

Citypark

Thursday is Ellie's favorite day of the week! (Mine too!) Every week we head down to the library for storytime with Miss Connie. Miss Connie is the best, she remembers everyone's name (no small feat with the number of 0-2 year olds that show up from week to week), and she always has a song or ten and a great story! This picture is of the play area in the crazy big children's section, we always play here after storytime.

I know it's a little early.....

But I'm soooo very excited about Autumn and all the wonderful things it brings!! Last Halloween was my first as a mommy. :) It was fun but I know that this year E'lanoir will be so much more aware, and I can't wait! This Halloween will also bring a trip to California to see one of my favorite people get married. Yes, she is getting married on Halloween, if you knew her you would know how befitting this is. What do you think Ellie should dress up as? I'm still undecided......

Colorado

It may not be to best picture, but this is the sign that welcomed us to Colorado over a year ago on Sept. 1st, 2008. I still miss California, but I know in my heart this is where God wants us to be. Colorado has been so good to us!

I'm bad at keeping up with my blog.....

So to make up for it you get four pictures today.

Four pictures = 4,ooo words, right??

Opps.... I forgot to credit the wonderful pictures to my Sister-in-law Sara. These were taken at our annual church picnic. Sooo much fun!
