Mother's Day

We had a very nice Mother's Day in Buffalo. I felt so fortunate to spend the day with my Mom and Grandma - the women who have taught me about the kind of mother I hope to be. Happy Mother's Day!

Ellie finally got to meet her second cousins Sophie and Ava who were born in October.

First Play

Ellie went to her first theater production on Saturday with Mimi, Grandma and me. The Theater of Youth performed If you Give a Pig a Party and Ellie was mesmerized throughout the whole show. We even ran into her second cousins Christian, Kacie and Courtney there!

Mimi and Papa's House

We spent the weekend at my parents' house. Ellie woke up to a new bus that she loves to drive. It must be fun for her because she says, "weeee" when she's riding it. She then walked all over carrying my purse and filling it with her things.

Ellie & Quinn

Ellie's friend Quinn came to play while we were in Buffalo. Ellie really wanted to be close to Quinn for the photos.

Playing Outside

Ellie enjoys going down her slide. She even says, "weeeeee" as she slides down.

Sunday Snooze

Ellie had such a busy day today - she passed out on John's lap this afternoon.

Ellie's New Bag

Ellie's new mini-LL Bean bag arrived today. It's the perfect size for her to tote her toys and books in. I'm afraid she's looking like a mini-me carrying her mini-Bean bag around.
