Yerba Buena Waterfall

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Ella and I had a great day. We started out at My Gym where she continued to practice her hanging from the bars.

Ella’s legs are really in the air and parallel to the mat.

We came home and had some lunch and then we ventured out into the city. We have a lot of birthday parties to go to this weekend and we had to go get some presents. We ended up at the SFMOMA gift shop because they have cool stuff there. After the museum, we went to the Yerba Buena gardens across the street and Ella loved watching the waterfall at the Martin Luther King Jr. monument.

I love it so much here that I feel like dancing!

Ella looks so cute and sweet here doesn’t she…well…about 2 minutes later, she was sneaking and trying to put her hand in the water.

After the gardens, we went over to the Metreon and Ella was playing around on this cool video thing on the ground. The video is at the end of this entry. The last thing that I took a picture of was Ella on the carousel imitating a fire breathing dragon.

Do you see the fire coming out of Ella’s mouth?

Super Spy Grandma and Papa

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Tonight after work, Ella and I were doing a video chat with grandma and papa. They are all so in love with each other and it’s beautiful to watch. At one point, grandma and papa were talking to Ella about the secret agent/super spy Ella pictures from yesterday. All of a sudden grandma disappeared and came back wearing her shades. A few seconds later, papa was rifling around his room and came up with cataract shades. Ella put on her shades and they were all super spies. Sunny came home from work in the middle of all of this and came in the room to see all of the super spies and just cracked up! She couldn’t stop laughing and then Ella couldn’t stop laughing and then grandma and papa were laughing and I captured a picture of it all! The sad thing is, I’ve been trying to upload the picture that I took from the computer and this site won’t let me post a TIFF file and I just can’t get it to be a JPG file right now so you’ll have to use your imagination. If I can convert it, I will post it!

After Ella’s bath tonight, she told us that she wanted to run around in the hallway and that’s just what she did.

Ella started her day bright and early at her yoga class with mommy. Sunny said that Ella did a great job.

After yoga, we hung around the house for a little bit and then we got ready to go to the ballpark to watch the season opener on the jumbotron. The Giants played their first game of the season in LA. My camera battery was dying so I didn’t take it to the ballpark but I was able to capture these beautiful shots of Ella wearing her new Lou Seal hat.

Ella did not take a nap today. Helen, Ron, Stella and Juliet came over for dinner and we all had a great time. The girls have had this obsession with tattoos lately. Ella loves having them on her belly. Stella and Juliet love belly tattoos too. Here are Ella’s latest and greatest tattoos.

OK – so she has a runny nose, her pants are falling down, she has tattoos all over her body, and she looks dazed and confused… but she’s just so beautiful on the inside and out!
