The Leaves are Fallin'

 Our new house has no shortage of leaves around!

As daddy blew the leaves...

we played!

Busy Boo

Look what someone did while Mommy was cooking!

 She's so proud of herself!

Such a Busy Little Boo!

Cousins

With Mark gone crabbing with his cousins,
Ella and I were off for our own weekend fun with cousins.

I love our Mommy/Ella time!

We stopped in Woodburn for a little bit of outlet shopping before we met up
with Andrea and Tucker.

 The next day we headed out to Ikea for a little 2 1/2 hour shopping trip.
Tucker and Ella were shopping rockstars!

As you can see they both crashed out on the way home.

That night more of Ella's cousins came over.

 Ella and I cheered on our ducks as they beat up #4 Standford!
SUCH AN EXCITING GAME!!!! (The rest are all Beavers)

 Tucker, Ella, Henry and Addie... missing Otis!

 Andrea and Tucker- Thanks for the lovely hospitality xoxo

Mikey- Thanks for getting our guest room done! It's lovely! You're so talented!

Mommy's Picasso

So, I'm going to start this post out with this sweet picture of me and my little sweetheart. She loves to take self-portraits with me. Love her!!!

Next, I'm going to share this exciting picture, Ella on her new potty!
We've had one success so far!

 Lastly, I'm going to end with a few pictures of what my little Picasso left us. I thought that Mark was watching her while I was baking in the kitchen. The next thing I hear is Mark walking in from the garage saying " HOLY **@&*!! I ran out the find that Ella had decorated the coffee table, her car, and a large section of the couch....all with a permanent marker.You may be wondering what is a permanent marker doing within a 20 month olds reach??? I have no idea, still trying to figure it out, Daddy :)

Lucky, microfiber fabric is somehow magical and it totally came off of everything.
We totally dodged a bullet on this one!

Thank you Ella Kate for keeping us on our toes!
We love you and your art!
