Ain't that America

Hangin' with Hank

This picture taught Amy and I that we're too old to go without make-up.


Ellie loves her new cousin, but she's not too keen on mama holding him or on holding him herself. Here she is gettin' the heck out of dodge after Amy tried to position Henry in her lap.


Still a little nervous...


Getting some lovin' from JuJu

Play time

"Hewwo?"


Ellie has THE BEST hiding spot :)


Wow! She's conquered "the big stairs"!




I made the mistake of slightly over-reacting this morning when a bug fell from the wisteria onto Ellie and me. Now she thinks every dark nick in our wood floor is a bug. She stands paralyzed, pointing, crying, and saying "Dug! Dug!" :(

Staring longingly at our neighbor's pool.

Oh dear
