Ellie Bean

My little Ellie and I tend to spend a lot of mornings together. While Lindy revels in the joys of Kindergarten and Curtis offers time to napping my second-born is typically bored out of her mind and looking to me to produce entertainment. I hate to admit it, but most of the time I'm "busy" and shoo her away to find her own way through the boredom. 

Today, however, I decided that it was a great day to be the mom I really want to be. So, we spent a little time reading books, pretending to be ponies, coloring, making shapes, and eating Laffy Taffy. Since it was an overcast day (my new favorite) I was also able to convince Ellie to let me take some pictures of her. I love that smile.




Thank you for spending the morning with me, Ellie. I love you to pieces!

That second pic reminds me of that elementary pic of mine that i was smiling crooked in and you, wade, and jeff teased me so much about it. But dang it...it was cute.
