Ella has recently discovered a whole new world with the introduction of the walker that Melissa, Julie, and Janine used when they were babies.
Now, every inch of the kitchen and livingroom is within her excited reach.
Ta-Da! Isn't she fabulous?
Of course, in true Allison form, as soon as we realized she was even remotely mobile, we assigned her a chore.
Ella and Shiloh both thoroughly enjoyed a recent trip to Auntie Melissa's pool. We tried taking pictures of Shiloh, too, but all of his turned out as blurs and splashes.
We recently noticed this Canadian icon setting up home in the creek just below the house. No, I'm not talking about Céline Dion -- it's a beaver. Although, now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance.
Like any other sensible Canadians, we saw daylight outside and went running pell-mell to the beach. It didn't last long, but we did get in a little sunbathing between the rain drops.
We had a yard sale today to get rid of a bunch of odds and ends. We've already made $100! Woot!
(Thanks to Anna for help with pricing.)
After the swollen creek receded, we spent part of a sunny (and squishy) day outside. These are a few of the pictures I took during our brief encounter with summer-like weather.
I had forgotten to post this picture from "The Swimmin' Hole" set. Ella relaxes in the pool on one of our elusive summer-ish days at the farm.
