Our budding musician

Sunday I found our little one tickling the ivories.

And, by that I mean she was pretty much playing scales at 23 months!

Clearly, she knows who her Grandfather is!

Waiting to meet Santa

Don't think the professional's Santa photos will be very good -- he
freaked Ellen out. But there were a few cute moments during the party
itself.

More Fall Fun

2nd Christmas List

Dear Santa,
Ellen really doesn't need much, but if you're planning to bring her something anyway, here's her wish list to choose from:

• Coloring Books
• Drawing Pads, Construction Paper
• Washable Crayons, especially these
  
• Stuffed "Puppy Dog"
• Easel (like this one or this one)
• Wooden Toys
• Tea Set (preferably not plastic, unless it's BPA free/recycled like this one)
• (Actually we're pretty fond of several Green Toys brand offerings)
• Beginner/Toddler Musical Instruments
• Board Books (There's still a list on the Amazon registry)
• Tights in size 2T or larger

When Autumn Comes

E is no longer a baby -- she is a full-fledged toddler.

She is full of personality and energy.

She is our little butterfly.

And she wanted ALL the candy at Halloween.

Still, she can melt your heart in .25 seconds.
