New Kitchen

We gave Ellie her brand new kitchen (finally), and she just loves it!

And the girls also love the box that it came in. I made a little house out of it for them. With some prodding from Dada, Ellie was even able to get Mama to join her in her little house!

Toys aren't only for kids...

Here is Mama with her grand marble creation...

And Dada used the tub crayons to do a geography lesson. Ellie now knows where her most of her extended family lives!

Another video...

Ellie was just so cute playing with her train, and having a 'troll' under the bridge.. Her weeble-wobbles take turns who is the 'troll'...

Otherwise, we had a great weekend this weekend... Matt took Ellie to the park on Sat. (I took Emily for 3-month pics!) then this morning (Sun.) we took the family to the zoo... And then after naptime we went back outside for more playtime... I think it might've been too much fresh air as Ellie was wiped out before 7:00! (Unheard of for her!)... Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for having us over Patti and Megan!

On Wed. night Patti and her friend Megan invited the whole family over for dinner, and we had a blast... Thought I'd share some of the pics...

Here's Uncle Terry getting some Ellie-time, they also had a great time building blocks!

Auntie Patti and Bapa are always fun!
And here's Auntie Annie crawling underneath legs with Ellie!

New Pics

Just thought I'd give a little update on my girls... Emily refuses to lift her head on tummy time... Which she did at first lift her head about a month ago a couple of times and has since decided it's more fun to try to move with her legs, so her tusch ends up in the air... Ellie is doing great, though she's had a cold for a while now... No fever, just an ever-present cold :( So, Emily also got the cold of course, but she seems to be a trooper with it, it's not bad at all... But, Mom is back at work, and happy about it :) But I miss my girls too! Here's a few pics...

Happy Early Valentines' Day!

I've been working on pictures with the girls on this for a couple of days, but I just couldn't wait until Sat. to share... If I get more good ones, I'll add those too!!!

Scissors

Ellie and I were playing and she wanted to play with her plastic scissors (no metal blad on them!) so we tried and tried, and she got it! Well, with two hands at least!!! :)

I have to note about 5 min. after the video... We broke the scissors... Anyone know where I can find sturdy plastic-only scissors? ;)
