Ella’s friends

Ella decided to write down all her friends’ names on a piece of paper one morning while we were driving. (She had me spell all their names.)

I don’t know what is more awesome, the fact that she has so many friends, that she turned their names into a cool little piece of art, or that she added mom, dad and Eva to the list. That kid is so cool.

(OK, I guess she added berry snacks to the list too, but still …)

Photo Booth

I love my Mac Book for many reasons. One is that it has a little program called Photo Booth. With it’s built in camera you can take pictures or videos of whomever is placed in front of your computer. You can do a single frame photo or 4 frames, like a real photo booth! Others at my home have grown to love it too:

Ah, playing together

Our girls have always interacted with each other and loved each other, but every now and then I catch them really playing together, and it’s awesome. Hopefully as Eva gets bigger they will play together more and more.

I think Ella is explaining the rules to Eva here as she listens carefully.

And the rules are: I throw the piece of chalk and you go run and get it. I guess Ella is playing fetch with Eva.

This is actually a very appropriate game as Eva has been pretending she is a dog a lot lately. She LOVES dogs.

A refreshing post-fetch snack is best when shared.

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of those little feet.

Getting so so big.

I know I will miss these popsicle, running-around-the-backyard days in just a few months.

Shoe heaven

I recently have gotten out Eva’s fall/winter shoe and clothing supply and am pretty psyched about the shoes she has. Several of them are Ella’s old shoes. Several are garage sale purchases from her cousin and a little friend. One pair is a gift from Grandma. All in all, we have a lot to choose from. And I think Eva shares my love of shoes.

And I don’t even see her favorite purple Crocs or pink Crocs here.

These were Ella’s first Converse sneakers. I sure love a little girl in Chucks.
