TGIF

Captured this image this morning before Ellen headed off to daycare
and Mommy to work!

Summer 2009

Its been a busy summer!  Here's a small snippet of photos from this summer, starting with a trip to Clovis in May and ending with photos of our garden harvest.  Mixed in between are images from Father's day, the 4th of July,  a trip to the zoo, SeaWorld and a group shot of Ellen's first camping trip to San Elijo St Beach.

Harvest

First squash and eggplant harvest of the season. Princess Aurora AKA
Sleeping Beauty says she is going to eat them.

UPDATE: I grilled them up and they were AMAZING, Ellen didn't even touch them.

Ellen in the garden

After much neglect and a change of address I hope to begin posting
again soon.  Here is a pic of Ellen watering our recently planted and thriving
garden.

Hanging with Jack and Noah

Tom and Laura visit San Diego with their two boys Noah and Jack. Good
times.  Pictured above is Ellen with Jack (Noah's younger brother).

Happy Birthday

Finally, here is Ellen and her fans singing "Happy Birthday".  She had practiced singing for weeks.  It seemed like anytime a flame was struck or a candle was lit Ellen would predictably break out in her rendition of Happy Birthday.  It made for a good times at Christmas dinner as the candles on the table got us all singing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus.

Ellen's 2nd Birthday

Look who's turned two!! Can you believe it's already been two years since Ellen has come into this world??? We all celebrated over the weekend with a party at the house on Saturday, a day at the Zoo on Sunday, and cupcakes and another round of happy birthday at daycare on Monday!!
