Serious Monkey

Happy Monkey

My cousin Monique. We stayed with her and her family in beautiful Calistoga. Ellie played with her 5 boy cousins at a barbeque the night before.

Drive us home Ellie! We were stuck in construction quite a few times on the way back. It really looks like she's driving, doesn't it :-)

Nothing is safe any longer...

Ellie's Tumble

Ellie and the penguin

This penguin is as tall as Ellie. Our friends Dan and Mary Givens gave it to Ellie when she was born. She likes to talk to it but is sometimes a little suspicious of it.

Friends

These are our friends, Meghan and her daughter Emma. Emma is one month older than Ellie. We were at the park and went on the paddle boats. The girls loved it.

Gardening

We planted a garden this year and it looks like we may get some produce including these little red cherry tomatoes. There are lemon cucumbers, green beans, sugar snap peas, cantaloupe, and several other kinds of tomatoes that should be producing soon.

Leave me alone, I'm concentrating on crawling
