Today I took Ella to see some of my friends that I grew up with and their kids. Ella had met them once or twice before, but she was so young and really didn’t remember. I think she’ll remember this visit. My friend Cheryl has two kids, James and Emma and Ella really loves Emma. When we walked into Sue Sue’s house, Ella had me carry her in and was hanging on tight, but when she saw Emma, she let me put her down and went into her arms. Sue Sue has 4 kids, 2 of them are older and then she has 3 year old twins. They were really sweet and loving and really enthusiastic about Ella being there. They hugged her right away and were talking to her and Ella was taking it all in and I think really loving it. Paige was also there and Ella remembered Paige from San Francisco. It was a really sweet visit – I had a good time and so did Ella.
Mommy came home tonight and Ella was so happy (so was I). Ella was sitting in her high chair when mommy came in and she said, “I want to get out, I want to get out. Do you want to go to the living room and play with me?” Mommy took Ella outside to see the fireflies. Ella loved seeing them.

Ella wore the same dress as yesterday. I think she’s a little attached to it. Here she is with one of the twins (I think Ava) who put on her butterfly dress when she saw Ella in hers.
Emma did such a great job taking care of Ella today. Thank you!
Ella and the twins Ava and Sofia. Beautiful curly haired kids!
At the end of the visit, the girls had a candy party. I don’t have to say how much fun that was for Ella!
Next time I’m coming if there’s a candy party. Love you. Mom
