Well at least the great outdoors behind our building! The weather has been spectacular and we have been getting out as much as possible without making a field trip out of it. Ella is walking and scootering and running and jumping all over the hood. On Saturday night, it was Helen’s birthday so Sunny and I hung out over at their place with Ella, Stella, Juliet and KJ so that Helen and Ron could go out for an adult dinner. The girls watched Annie and KJ just hung out and was super cute. It was really a fun night and hopefully Helen and Ron were able to relax and enjoy each other for a little while. Today, we met up with 2 other kids who live in our building and the kids rode their scooters to the back of the ballpark where they let you in to play on the slides, cable car and the little baseball field. They all had a lot of fun. Ella goes back to school tomorrow and I go back to work after a 2 week break. Ella was asleep by 8:15 tonight – a miracle!
I love this picture of Ella. She was having a lot of fun climbing up and down this red thing.
Running down the hall with a big smile on her face.

Ella may have been a little bit jealous.
Meeting up with Max in the lobby on Sunday. Max was explaining the difference between a scooter with 2 wheels and a scooter with 3 wheels.
Ella is tall enough to go on the little coke slide at the ballpark but she wasn’t interested at all.
Having fun taking turns hitting in the little ballpark.
Pulling the cable car bell.

So we were walking behind the ballpark looking out at McCovey Cove and all of a sudden we saw a sea lion swimming in the water. I got my camera ready and then just like magic – these two sea lions came up and they were kissing. What a beautiful sight!
I took this picture of Bug today. Even though she’s 15 and blind and deaf, she really is looking good.
Wonderful pictures. I feel like I was there with you. I love the picture too of Ella on the climbing thing; it just may become my screen saver! That bat was bigger than Ella; looks like she was having fun. And those sea lions! Great shot. Love you. Mom
