Ella Hit Double Digits



Ella has had a busy summer already
She spent a couple of days in DC
With Aunt Nenni and her cousins
when Mommy was on a business trip (pre-Molly)

Lily didn't like the sound of the subway train
Big cousin Ella protected her

They went to the Art and Science Museum






She wouldn't hold the bug but her little cousin loved it




The thing they wanted to do most
Visit the PEEPS store










Relaxing after work in the hotel.
Feel your baby cousin move



The hotel is fun all on it's own


Breakfast in bed









Look but don't touch









THIS you can touch







COUSINS











She has been taking summer school classes on line.
So far she is able to stay on grade level and
her parents are making sure it stays that way
She started horse back riding
Great to strengthen those weak muscles AND
she loves it

Her other grandparents took her to NY!
She not only saw the Statue of Liberty but also
The Empire State building AND
Cinderella on Broadway
Her two little sisters have been bonding so well!
Sami is such a protective sister just like HER
big sister was 5 years ago
 Ella and Sami bonded right away
but so far Ella hasn't shown much interest in Molly
Then we celebrated her TENTH birthday
 in their new home
She is having her annual birthday sleepover next week


Natalie's parents were there to share also


She blew them all out!
We were so proud
Something as simple as blowing out candles
takes a lot of muscle strength

If you noticed the name tags we are all wearing
Ella made one for each of us
Figuring out how to spell each of our 'real' names






We love hugs

Looking at her first birthday pictures



more hugs


Those first birthday pictures again

Ella gave her one of her new toys

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GIRL

These two adore each other and I adore them
They remind me so much of each other
I often call them by each other's name
