Safety Features a must

Never know what could happen when eating an apple
Ellie is multi-tasking and being safe while doing it. We obey helmet laws.

Always wear safety glasses when playing with an extremely cute and silly child

What, it's the end of May!

Yes, this is May 22nd. It snowed all day. It cut down greatly on the number of foolish young men from bar fights I had to see overnight, but inceased the number of chest pains in the elderly. Hmmmm.....

Ellie talks ....then pukes...

Taking an apres-lunch walk in Maisons Laffitte, Ellie was talking alot on Grandma's shoulders; and then proceeded to spit up chocolate cake into her hair!

It's a boy

In case you couldn't tell from the face shot.

I'm a little girl now

Ellie likes to stand on a chair and help us cook in the kitchen. Today she was washing "Dodo" the honey bear and her breadstick very efficiently in preparation for dinner.
Note the pigtails! She and I were reading a book which had a little girl in pigtails. She pointed to the little girl's hair and then to her own hair and indicated her fashion desires.
