The bedtime crew

Every night is spent in a nest of blankets, toys and stuffed animals, with the occasional book or shoe tossed in for good measure. The night time ritual has become a role call of sorts, as each animal friend is accounted for and placed in his or her proper place. Below are some of the major players, in addition to Gankee (main blanket), Pink Gankee (backup blanket), Baby Pillow & Baby Blanket (pillow and blanket seen in the photo with Mildred), Floyd, Pookie, and Baby Bear (currently MIA under the crib somewhere). Once everything is arranged and everyone is settled, she gives a few quick wiggles to get in the perfect spot and yells, "night night!".

L to R: Boppy, Frally, Big Bear, Heppo, Li, Baby Li, Leedle Li, Monkey



Baby Mildred relaxes in her cradle, made for Kathryn when she was wee, before being tossed into the crib with the rest of the gang.

Peanut Jelly Pleez!

Ellery's new favorite food is "peanut jelly" AKA peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Oops.

Wow, slack much on the blog?
We have no computer at home right now due to a power cord issue, which will be resolved in the next day or too. Until then, here is a photo of Ell from the Christmas performance at Alder Street that I nicked from their Facebook page.
