Ella's Idea Of Fun - Kitty's...Not So Much


I am now convinced that we have the most patient cat on earth. Kitty (yes, our cat's name is Kitty) has been through a lot over the past 4 years "growing" up with Ella...he's had bows put on his head, been taken for rides in strollers, had his "hair" brushed, worn hats, and even been 'forcibly coerced' into her puppy carrier for her stuffed puppy (which, btw, is roughly half the size of Kitty). Throughout all these experiences Kitty has escaped from Ella's clutches as soon as he could make a break for it (with surprisingly minimal bodily harm done to his torturer). However, this past Sunday night we watched as he sat perfectly still for about 10 minutes while Ella wrapped her purple boa around and around him until she had it "perfect." He looked completely mortified (yes, cat's can actually look mortified...if you don't believe me just look again at the pictures) but he sat and endured for as long as he could. I guess he's finally taken up the old adage, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

HAPPY EASTER!!!


The Easter Bunny must have been running late this year because he didn't come to our house until after we were at church. When we got home there were eggs everywhere for Ella to find (Connor elected not to participate this year). We quickly looked through baskets, hunted eggs and headed to Aunt Jamie's for a great Easter dinner with family.
I haven't posted in a LONG TIME, so there are several new posts below this one!!!

Ella's Easter Egg Hunt at School


Batter Up! It's Baseball Time!!!


It's that time of year again and Connor's 7th baseball season is in full swing. He's playing in the 11 & 12 year old league this year and it is "real" baseball...no special rules...real baseball. It's always an adjustment the year we move up, but he's done well in the field and is working on his batting. I wouldn't want to stand there and let some of those kids pitch to me...several of them are David's size and they're only 12!!! So far we are undefeated...I'll post more as the season goes on.
