Pirate Party

Today we went to Miguel’s 4th birthday party.  Miguel is in Ella’s class  – there were lots of Leaping Lizards at the party.  The party was at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and it was a gorgeous day out.  We all had a blast.  Ella got totally into the pirate theme and wore a pirate hat and an eye patch.  She also made a jeweled hook.  It’s so much fun to watch Ella become more of a participant in everything that is going on around her.  She just loves life.

    It’s true that Ella loves life; she gets that from her Mommy and Momma. I can’t believe how warm it is in SF! Sundresses rule. Love you. Mom
