Ella and I went to visit Adam today at the "warehouse." Each time we go she has to go visit the horse and donkey. The donkey, cloudy, is the friendliest donkey I have ever come in contact with (now that I think about it it may be the only donkey I have ever come in contact with). She finds it very amusing, and the donkey seemed to love Ella too.

Wild child!

Going to the chapel....

My best bud Alison is getting married on April 17th, and today was her bridal shower. I am so excited for her since I know she has been waiting for this day for a long time. I am also lucky enough to be a part of the big day. I still think back to our first day of senior year. I was sitting in an art class full of freshmen, and I was relieved when I saw Alison walk through the door. We were the only two seniors in there. I think we did more talking than anything, but that is how our friendship began. I have ten years full of wonderful memories with her. It is really hard to find a friend you can count on, but I have always been able to count on Alison through the good and the bad. She is a true friend, and I know our friendship will last a lifetime. Can't wait for the big day!!

Nature walk

I took Ella to Wesselman's Park today for her first walk along a trail. She of course loved it and walked pretty much the entire way. She loved exploring and picking up things along the trail. She is definitely an outdoorsy girl!

Another beautiful day...

Spring is in the air!

Out searching for kitty cats!

She had some spectators!

She was so excited she was clapping. She loves outside!

Giving me the evil eye.

I think she found a kitty cat.

Chillin in her wagon

Books!

Lately Ella has really become fond of books, especially her board books. She loves to go get a book and bring it to me to read to her. If I am sitting on the floor she will climb in my lap so we can look at it together. I am glad to see her doing this, because it means she will sit still for a minute. She is on the move all the time. She currently loves looking at first word books. I am hoping she will start talking any day now. The only word she can say is "gog" which is dog. Of course her first word would be dog;)

YUCK!

Everyday I fix Ella's hair and sometimes even put a bow in it. As you can tell she is not a fan of either. For some reason when she eats she HAS to pull out her little pony tail and rub food in her hair. It's so disgusting, but she finds it very amusing. Right now it's not looking very promising that she will be a girly girl, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!
