Life With Ella

Ella loves to go on the swings. Today was a beautiful day, so we went to a park a few blocks away from our place and she played around on the swings. Here are some sweet pictures from our trip to the park.

Sunny stays home with Ella on Mondays and from what I heard, they had a great day together. They started out on a walk to go see the sea lions, but Ella fell asleep somewhere near the Ferry Building, so Sunny did some shopping and relaxing. When Ella woke up, they walked around near the Ferry Building and made their way back to our neighborhood. When they got to the park behind the ballpark, they struck gold. Some of Ella’s favorite friends were there including Stella, Juliet, Jay, Cora and a whole bunch of others.Here are some pictures that Sunny took of Ella on their walk to the park. Ella is a really sensitive kid and loves to give kisses to every one and every thing.Here is Ella kissing a starfishAnd here she is studying the octopusHuggy mommy…thanks for a beautiful day!

We had such a great day today. We went to the Giant’s game with Helen, Ron, Stella and Juliet. The Giants lost but we didn’t care. Thanks to Ron, we have some great family pictures. After the game, Sunny and Ella ran around the bases. Ella was a little more interested in running in the grass, but they had a lot of fun.

Here we are with a very special Giant – Lou Seal. He was really sweet.

It was a pretty hot day and we were putting water and the girl’s heads. Ella was a little sleepy so she put her head on my shoulder for a beautiful moment.

Here are Ella and mommy (with Stella, Helen and Juliet behind them) getting ready to run to first base. Ella has such a look of determination on her face.

Here are the girls back in our building, hanging out on the steps, enjoying the lollipops that the Giants usher gave them after they ran the bases.

Believe it or not, we all went swimming and then out to dinner after the game. I was just too tired to take any more pictures!

We all had a wonderful day today. Sunny and Ella took off in the early afternoon to go shopping and walking around. I got more help from Jesse on how to do this blog. Sunny, Ella and I spent some time at the park behind the ballpark and had a lot of fun. Then we went to Ellen’s house for a bar-b-que…Ellen’s family is in town from Florida. Ella was a little shy, but really loves Ellen’s niece Melissa. Here is a picture of them hanging out with each other.

After the bar-b-que, we came home and hooked up with Helen, Ron, Stella and Juliet. They blew up this big “Bouncy House” in their living room and the girls were jumping and playing around with the balls. They have such a blast together. After bouncing around, Ella found a princess veil in the closet and sort of fell in love with it. Here is a picture of Ella in the veil. She became very upset when we told her that Stella wanted a turn. Ella is learning how to share. This is sooooooo important.

By tomorrow she’ll be back in her Giant’s uniform running the bases…stay tuned!

We went swimming at the gym last night and Ella loves jumping on the scale before she gets dressed to go home.

I’m sure many of you have seen the pictures over the last 20 months that included Ella’s friends (and our next door neighbors) Stella and Juliet. We are so lucky to have Helen, Ron, Stella and Juliet living next door. We have had some great times and can’t wait for more. The girls really love each other. It’s so sweet to watch them interact.

Ella has gone to many baseball games, but this was her first All-Star game. It was also our first All-Star game. We had a blast. Here are some pictures we took from that night.
