Ironfans again

We had a great weekend up in the Adirondacks for our seventh consecutive Ironman. Uncle David completed the race in an incredible 9 hrs and 50 mins. We were very impressed and very glad to be there to cheer him on, though you don't get to do too much cheering with a three-year-old and a five-month-old - they keep you busy!! But good weather and fun, helpful, loving family makes it all work.

Ella Rides Her Trike

Here's a clip of Ella riding her tricycle to the dining hall!

Little man

He is growing fast! We are loving every day with our sweet little guy.

Caught in the act

Will happened upon this sweet little scene the other day: Ella, who had covered Bianca in a warm, cozy blanket and given her a teddy to snuggle with, was reading her books.

Drawing and painting

Ella loves painting at her easel and looks very grown up in her "frock" (smock).

Here is a drawing that Ella did the other day of Grammie leaning out of a window waving two arms. We were drawing the mountain house where we'll be going this weekend!

Visit with Grammie and G(r)op

We had a great visit lately from Grammie and Gop (whose name has an "r" that is getting stronger and stronger, we'll see what the name becomes) and here are some shots.

Dancing in the rain

When we have a rainstorm, Ella wants to go outside and play. The umbrella here is merely a prop.
