DADD-DEE

DADD-DEE, DADD-DEE!! Those are the words I here very often these days.  It is quite humorous and always brings a smile to my face.  This evening Ellen greeted met me outside the house as I got from work and quickly wanted my sunglasses.

Ellen Really Walks

OK, I know, its been awhile. Things really are busy lately in the Crain household. Kathleen was in New York for work for week and as usual I've been balancing work and class. Things will probably get worse before they get better but better should be coming early August. I'll try to make another post or two before then but for now enjoy this.

Ellen really began walking on a semi-regular basis just this weekend. Here is indisputable video evidence to confirm it. Enjoy!

Ellen Takes Her First Steps

The updates are few and far between but this clip will be one to remember.  After dinner and before her bath Ellen was feeling quite courageous stood unassisted and eventually took a few steps.  Enjoy!

More Christmas

Ellen and her cousin BT ride their ponies under the tree on Christmas morning.


I know this is a little out of order but I wanted to revisit Christmas and include some images captured from Christmas morning.

Ellen's First Birthday

Time has really gotten away from me lately. Most recently Ellen had her first birthday at which time she had her first bite of ice cream cake. Ellen thanks everyone that made it to the house and those that sent their birthday wishes.

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas

Ellen visited Santa for the 1st time and was in complete awe. I actually have a video of the moment and hope to post it soon. Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Halloween

The Great Chicken wishes everyone a Happy Halloween! Ellen has been under the weather as of late, as have the rest of the family. We may still manage to take the chicken out to a few select homes for her first go at trick and treating.

Don't tell Ellen chickens can't fly. That didn't stop her from flapping her arms in her costume.
