Ellie on a Lellow Wall

Janet — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 20:26:36 +0000

(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.

What better place is there to watch a game of football catch anyways?

Really not sure how this happened, but my little newborn baby girl is 9 months old today. That went by way too fast. Why does a 9 month pregnancy seen like an eternity, but these precious baby days seem to zoom by so fast? *sigh*

Noah’s Big Catch

The big fishing opener was this weekend and…well, we fished. Dave got a license, the kids fished for free, and I took pictures. It was really a lot of fun! Noah caught the first fish of the day… (Navinah Riley, to the left of Noah, and Tirzah Riley, to right of Noah, are pictured here…they’re the daughters of some of our BFFs from college days that have recently moved back to the Cities)

It was a Sunfish, I think. (?) Not much meat to them, so we threw it back in. Oh, and that fin on top? Razor sharp.

He was pretty proud of himself!

P.S. I like this pic of Dave and the girls…

P.P.S Elijah and Zeke wanted to make sure that you knew that they caught fish last night.

Here I Stand

Ellie has just recently aquired the very useful skill of pulling herself up to a standing position. Useful, that is, for getting on her mother’s very last nerve. Why sleep in a crib when you can stand at the rail and scream?

Crawling!

Sleeping Beauties

All tuckered out. Being on holiday is fun, but also tiring, espesially when you’re a little person whose afternoon naptime has been trumped by a trip to the Science Museum. Thankfully third, fourth and fifth borns learn to roll with the punches.

Growing, Growing, Growing…

My, my, my…where has the time gone? We celebrated Ellie’s six month old birthday this week. Incredible, isn’t it, how in just six months a tiny, helpless newborn baby grows into a sitting, giggling, communicative little person?

Six seconds old…

Six minutes old…

Six hours old…

One day old…

Six days old…

Six weeks old…

Six months old…
