Ellie on a Lellow Wall

August 19th, 2010

(Say that ten times fast:  Ellie on a lellow wall.  He he.)

This yellow wall is one of the new paint colors on two of our living room walls.  Can you guess what color is on the other two?  I was really tired of our darkish colored walls and wanted a sunshiney color on them.  We have a serious deficit in sunshine during the winter months in our apartment and I think I suffer from lack-of-sunshine-wintertime-grumpiness, so I thought a brighter living room might help.  Well, it sure is brighter.  If you come to visit us, bring sunglasses.

A photo with the other mystery color will be posted tomorrow.

In 20 years they’re gonna love this photo.  And they’ll forget all about how they were so ticked off with me for making them take they’re shirts off. Or…maybe they won’t forget.

Ellie couldn’t get enough of the water.

What a sweetie, eh?

3, 2, 1…Jump!

They were playing make believe here…”Ahhh…we’ve washed up on a deserted island!”

Just so you know, they did not want to go on this “Keep Off” lifeguards chair.  I made them.  I thought It’d make a cute picture.

I love this on of Elijah and his good friend Navinah Riley.  Chivalrous, that Elijah is.

This might just be my favorite picture ever!

Noah, running from mischief, probably.

Elijah’s foot.  In case you’re wondering, this is also the size of one of my feet.

Awww…Elliekins.   Wow, can you believe she’s almost 11 months old?

The Fam.  Five out of seven are actually looking at the camera.  Not bad.
