Coffee Table vs. Ellie's Eye! Winner: coffee table.
Playground playtime (needless to say this happened in July, before August and 100 degree weather hit)
Splashing and leaf boat making.
Weekend egg souffle breakfasts and vigorous political debate.
Cousin Suzanne went to Turkey for vacation, and we tracked her whereabouts on every globe and world map we passed during that period. She was very confused at first at why Suzanne would go on a trip in a turkey. Suzanne brought her this lovely jeweled enamel box, which Ellie decided to use for dead ladybug storage.
This cardboard box was a chair, a boat, a spaceship, a house and a general hiding place, although it's pretty hard to hide with all that hair.
The circus came to town! See that tiny child below the GIANT poster?
First day of school - this year she's in Primary II with the "big" 4 year olds.
Ballet class. And first "one ponytail."
First DQ dip cone.
And finally - FIRST TRIP TO THE BEACH! We arrived last weekend at Duck, North Carolina and have been having a wonderful week. We've enjoyed visiting with lots of family, meeting new cousins, etc. More on that later!
