Ellery and Georgia, now

Hollow Earth Brew Fest 09

School days (or, a story only a true ELL fan will find interesting)

Scott and Ellery have a new morning routine, intiated by the Peanut. After getting dressed for the day she takes her lunch bag and goes to stand by the front door. Then Scott tells her "shoes", and she sits at the botton of the stairs and holds her foot up.

Once they arrive at Alder (Preschool of the Arts, that is) Ell walks over to the fridge to put her lunch bag away. Then straight into the playroom to join her posse.

Hopefully we will have some pictures of her group soon, because they are so cute, and the words, songs and games she is learning at Alder make me feel a little les guilty for not being with her all the time. We are pretty sure that "uhn, oohh, eeee!!" before she goes down the slide is "1, 2, 3!", and we think that is pretty darn amazing. We are all suckers for our own beautiful, unique, incredible children, right? (Depending on your life choices you may wish to insert "dog" in the previous sentence and it would stil be absolutely correct.)

Andrew sent us these photos recently from Scott and Ellery's trip in June:
