Ella is such a lover of life. She finished soccer camp on Friday. Ella had a great time. I don’t know if I would have been able to handle being outside for 6 hours a day in the coldest part of San Francisco. To quote one of Ella’s friends, “The only place you can get warm is in the bathroom!” We had a great visit with Nikki B at the end of the week. Today we went to a rally to support Chris Cunnie for Sheriff and then Ella and I went to the zoo. We had a really fun day.
Fun with friends on the crazy swing after soccer camp.
Ella, mommy and Emmi. Emmi and Ella had a sleepover here on Wednesday night.

Ella loves all the big kids at camp and they love her right back!

Ella loves the flamingos. We saw a few of these guys eggs a few months back!
One of the coolest parts about the SF Zoo is that there are peacocks wandering all over the place.
Our beauty at the zoo today. Sweet Ella is really growing up.
All smiles at Rock Band Land camp.

Ella helped out with Phyllis and MIchael’s dog Artie.
Looks like a serious game of fruit ninja going on.
Michael trying to blow out his trick candles. Phyllis thinks it’s funny.
Ella really thought it was funny. Seems like Charlie and Hannah were bored and mommy was slightly entertained.
First day of soccer camp…big smile at 9:00 in the morning.

Ella and mommy were the first ones to arrive this morning. Ella had a blast on the swing.

More fun times on the big swing.
Exploring with tap shoes on. This was their nature walk of the day.
Check out the bubble over their heads…I wonder what it says.
KJ was great at the bubble wand. He did it all by himself.
Juliet was an incredible bubble maker. She was so patient.
Towby chilled out with all of us.
A very happy Ella.
Watching the popsicles get made and the finished product.
Ella got upset with Sunny because Sunny started to take some of Ella’s stained glass art off our window. It was old and fading and we had discussed taking it off but I guess Ella wasn’t ready for it. The translation of the note is: Mommy – Ask for things before you do it when it is mine.
Here is an up beat message from Ella…I love it, yes I do
Searching for the perfect fruit at the farmer’s market.
I love Ella’s new tooth missing smile.
So we were walking home on the water, right behind the ballpark where the boats are and we hear these seagulls yelling at another bird. The other bird yelled back and it was an intense yell. All of a sudden, it took off flying – it had a huge wing span and then it landed high up in a tree. In my mind I was thinking, “What the hell was that? An ostrich? (I know they don’t fly – Ella told me!) Ella looks up and says, “Oh my god, a heron.” Of course, she was right!
Ella and her buddy Lou Seal.
Great balance! Ella is getting to be pretty good at taekwondo.
I took these pictures at around 6:30 tonight. Ella’s tooth was so wiggly…we knew that it was just a matter of time before…
Ella’s tooth came out!
Here is Ella’s sweet little tooth. It is now in possession of the tooth fairy. Ella will wake up to 2 gold dollar coins.
Ella doing an amazing job at gymnastics camp.

Happy family after the Giants won!
Ella and auntie Pie before and after running the bases. Ella said that she won.
It was a very overcast day so I decided to let Ella drive us to the park.
we took the kids to a park that was about 10 minutes away from grandma and papa’s house and they had so much fun. Ella did some serious climbing and Milo did some serious exploring.
Aj and I read Ella her night time books. We took on all the different characters. Ella said she liked it the most when I made mistakes with the words.
Ella and Iya – the floating starfish.
Taking a little break from swimming after lunch.
Grandma and Ella had such a blast together at the pool.
Lookin’ good papa!

Sweetness!

Bubble fun.
Ella did a great job rock climbing.
Milo played with this rice for about 1/2 hour and he had the greatest time.

Cousins – such a beautiful relationship.
Love love love!
