Today, Ella and I were on our way out to run errands and she was singing her little heart out all the way down the hallway to the elevator. When we got to the elevator, Ella sat down in her favorite little spot and kept on singing. I took out the video camera and captured these four songs. They are all separate, so you don’t have to watch a long medley if you don’t want to. I came in a little late on “A You’re Adorable” but I had to keep it on. The four videos are, “A You’re Adorable”, “ABC”, “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”, and “Take Your Time”. She is so wonderful and full of happiness and full of life and love.

Ella the singer
Friday, September 7th, 2007Beach at Half Moon Bay
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007This morning, we went to the beach with Helen, Ron, Stella, Juliet, Julie and Justin. It was a pretty foggy day, but we all had such a great time. Sunny tried to fly a kite (video coming soon), Ella learned how to climb her way out of a hole, we played wiffle ball, ran around and just had a blast. Here are some pictures from the day.
A little cold out, but beautiful because we are all together

Yay – Ella made it out of the hole!

Back in SF
Monday, September 3rd, 2007We got back from our east coast adventure yesterday. Helen picked us up at the airport and Ella was so happy to see her. In the car on the way home Ella kept talking about Stella and Juliet. When we arrived back at our place, Helen took Ella upstairs to see the girls while Sunny and I unpacked the car. We heard from Helen and Ron that the reunion was quite beautiful…lots of hugs and kisses and “honey look at this”. We met Ellen for dinner at Acme – Ella was really happy to see her also. Ella is amazing at transitions. She fell right into a routine in NJ, and when we came back here, she went right back to her routine here. Ella also did a video chat with grandma and papa when we came home last night and she was really happy to see them.
Ella went to sleep at around 8:30 last night. She slept through the night, but woke up at 5:20 am and never fell back asleep. We all had a sweet day today. We took Ella to the two parks near our house. Ella started crying for Stella when we came home from the park before we went out to dinner. We told her that Stella wasn’t home but she didn’t believe us. She looked at Sunny at one point and said, “Knock on Stella’s door”. Sunny was floored! We had dinner with Debby and Toby at Pasta Pomodoro. It was a great dinner. After dinner, we rang Stella’s doorbell and the girls got to play with each other. The friendship that Ella has with Stella and Juliet is truly beautiful. Ella fell asleep at around 9:10 tonight so we’ll see if she can pull out another hour or so. I hope so…I’m very tired.
The swings!

It’s been a great month
Saturday, September 1st, 2007We’re going back to San Francisco tomorrow. It’s been a wonderful month. It was so great to spend time with everyone. Whoever we missed – we’ll see ya next time. Thank you grandma and papa for a beautiful month. We love you very much.
