Life With Ella

Tonight, we went over to hang out with Stella and Juliet for a little while and we got to see Emily who was in town for the night.  She brought her new puppy with her.  Mar, the puppy, was really cute.  Here is a picture of Juliet and Mar.

Ella had a great day at school and we had a fun night.  We took a walk over to the Burger Joint and had some dinner.   Ella was really fun and happy but kind of tired and spacey at the same time.  Here are some pictures of Ella.

A little spaced out at Helen and Ron’s house.

Surprise!  Hiding around the corner.

Today, we took Ella across the street to the Fan Fest.  Sunny was working a Giant’s Community Fund booth, so Ella and I walked around the park and checked things out.  We had a great day – a lot of fun and Ella helped Sunny out in the booth, getting people to buy “mystery bags”.  Yesterday, Ella didn’t have school so I took her over to ACC (Animal Care and Control) to visit Becca.  I took a bunch of movies – will put something together.  Ella met rabbits, kittens, puppies and wanted to play with some rats but we didn’t let her.

Our little Ella is growing up.

Ella has been in a great mood lately.  She loves to play games and act goofy.  She also is so comfortable and familiar with most of the restaurants that we go to in SF that she makes herself right at home.  Ella is continuing to take her peacock to school with her.  She usually holds it in one hand and tries to do whatever else she’s doing with the other.  Today, Alicia put the peacock in Ella’s hair and Ella just loved it.  Great idea Alicia!

Here is Ella hiding from us in the hallway.

Ella after school.  Ella came home from school and quickly changed into the tinkerbell nightgown that Helen gave her.  Ella is quite attached to it.  Notice the peacock in her hair.

On Saturday, I volunteered at Ella’s school and Ron, Helen, Sunny and the girls went to Crissy Field to the beach.  The weather has been incredible.  Not only did Ella play and run on the sand, she lied down in the sand and made sand angels.  After the beach, I met up with everyone and we had some ice cream and ran around in the grass.  Yesterday, Sunny and I went to a funeral in the early afternoon and then came home and took a walk with Ella who was dressed as a princess.  She was so happy to be outside running around.  She also said that she was excited for baseball season!

Very serious about making bubbles.

Look at all the sand angels!
