It was a banner day in Eleanor Land

Today was pretty darn exciting for little Miss Ellie.

Things started with breakfast with Grammy, Poppy and Aunty "Dirty."

Next up was a new safety helmet (pics coming soon) for trike time that could have been a hit or a disaster. Fortunately it was a hit.

Then it was time for a haircut and lunch at U-Village.

And the awesome just kept coming.

See, Ellie's been wanting a "peter" like mom and dad use for work. And today Min managed to find a great toy computer. When Ellie woke up from her nap, she found it sitting at desk (nee table) and proceeded to spend most of the rest of the night profusely thanking mom and talking at a million miles an hour about how much she LOVED it.







Then Ellie got to use chalk on her easel and transformed from computer geek to art machine. She was pretty much on fire/completely covered in chalk dust.







Good day to be a kid.

Reunited and it feels so good...

Aunt Julie's back from Copenhagen!





Uncle E, we can't wait to see you too. Hurry home!

Scissor master





Anyone want to bet on when Ellie decides to cut her hair?

I'm setting the over/under at two weeks.

Inventor

Here's Ellie posing with her robot "Tex."



And yes, his name is suspiciously similar to one, Plex, magic robot of Yo Gabba Gabba fame.

But come on, she made a robot. What do you want?

Noodle Party

Somebody got really into her pasta tonight.






So much so that, at one point, she accidentally started eating her necklace.



Woah, dude.

Partying with Cameron





And pretty much the sweetest hug of all time.

Our California Trip

We had such a great time down in California. It was wonderful seeing all our friends and our old haunts. Oh, and the sun.

Here's a fast-forward version of the fun.



Apologies to those not pictured. We were a little inconsistent with the photos...

What a difference two years make

Okay, so we didn't get the framing right, but we're technically standing in the same spot so...





Hard to believe how much has changed in what seems like a flash.

We had a wonderful time again in La Quinta.*

More photos to come.









*Earthquakes and aftershocks aside.

Well hello there, Alex

It's baby week for Ellie and she mainly vacillates between casual disinterest and mild distress.

Here's the rare exception, actual interest...





Also, happy stripes day!

Parked

We're glad to be back home, but hanging out in Madison Park is pretty cool too...
