Our Trip To Pittsburgh

The highlight of our trip to Pittsburgh, to Ella, was the children's museum. Who would've thought an hour and a half wasn't enough time there??

She loved the playing with the water!

Kayaking...

This thing made some fun tinking noises when we dropped the pebbles into the holes.





Playing in Mister Roger's Neighborhood!


Ella was so happy playing at the museum!

My Boy

I just love this little boy!!!!!

Loves to Sing

How did I get the sweetest little girl? Ella spends her days singing. From the minute she wakes up in the morning, to the second before she falls asleep in bed at night, she's singing away. She's got the ABC song down pretty good, and Twinkle Twinkle, the Itsy Bitsy Spider and Old MacDonald are her current favorites. Today was definitely an Old MacDonald day. Not only was she singing the song all day long, but we had to read our Old MacDonald books at bedtime too. She's so sweet how she gets so into something. And I have to say, she has the sweetest little singing voice. I managed to get her singing the ABC's on video a couple weeks ago, so I hope to post it soon for everyone to enjoy. :)

I'm so thankful for both my little blessings.

Planting Flowers

I mentioned planting some flowers with Ella a few days ago and promised her we'd do it today. I tell ya, this girl doesn't forget a thing! Good thing it was a nice morning! :)

She set out all the cups and poured the dirt in each one.

Then added a few seeds to each cup.

I watered each cup, as Ella was more into dumping her bucket of water all over our budding tulips and the driveway. :)

Let's hope they grow!

Sledding in April!?

Ella saw the sled in the garage and before it made its way down to the basement for the spring/summer, Ella had to give William a little ride.

She learned it's much easier to pull on the linoleum, rather than the carpet. :)

Then Ella wanted in on the fun. :)


and William getting tickle tortured by daddy. He has THE BEST laugh. :)

Ella's Flower Garden

Ella read and colored a new Spring book today. She works so hard coloring her pictures and staying in the lines. She still loves black, but I've gotten her to branch out a lot and include some other colors as well. :)


Then we worked on some one-to-one correspondence and Ella took fruity Cheerios and glued them into the flowers.


She preferred to have the entire flower colorful, rather than just the petals. :)

It's hanging on the fridge now for all of us to admire.

Off he goes!

William cracks me up. He's a little speedy gonzalez, zipping all over the downstairs. One minute he's in the living room playing with Ella, the next he's in the laundry room.

One minute he's playing with Ella's People, the next he's crawling under the exersaucer.

He seemed to like it in there. He's crawled in there several times now. :)

His newest trick is pulling himself all the way up to standing. He pulls himself up on Ella's house, the couch, and now the crib. I walk in to get him from his naps, and there he is standing! Good thing daddy lowered the crib, we knew this day was coming soon!
