This weekend Ella and I had an afternoon together. We went shopping, and for a mid-shop snack, shared some ice cream. I know she can’t speak yet, but if she could, she would have said “Wow! Is this for real? This is the best thing that ever happened to me!” Her eyes got big, and she couldn’t stop smiling. I grabbed one shot from my cellphone, not the greatest. But, I think she’s hooked.

Since Ella is getting bigger, we have decided that Sundays are hair days. We wash and put up each week. I’m trying to get creative, but this little gal likes to squirm a lot. Luckily she’s not too tender headed, and I can easily distract her with cheddar bunnies.

And last night, we did puffs:

Every week is an adventure.
