Ellie and Lila

Princess Anabelle Karen Ford

A weekend with Papa and Gamms

Future ophthalmologist.

In hot pursuit of Lucy.

Fall Fun

Pumpkin decorating






Big girl underwear!!! Let the potty training begin!






Speed Stroller


"Punkin!"

Animals

Animal noises
It's hard to hear the pig snort and the horse bray (two of our favorite Ellie animal impressions), but she's doing pretty well with her animal sounds. You can hear the rooster crow...which is the best!



Epiphany
Ellie was trying on my shoes when she suddenly got a terrific idea :)



If you have difficulty hearing or understanding what Ellie says, let me translate: "Lucy. Shoes? Otay!"

iPhone snapshots

Another playdate....alone.


My welcome home view.

Pumpkins

This was just as she looked up at the sky, saw an airplane, and said "Pwane!" I didn't know she knew what a plane was.


This was just as she picked up the pumpkin for the first time. She's saying, "Heavy." Didn't know she knew that one either!

Days of Our Lives

Wow! The trash truck!






















Catching "butterflies" at our Monday morning playdate.
