Ella's self-portrait

At the beginning and end of each school year Ella was asked to do a "self-portrait"
Here's the progression from starting at just 2.10 years-old to 5.5 years old. Pretty neat!

Mother's Day

Today i celebrated being a mama to my two favorite kiddies. We took a nice bike ride/walk on the rail trail with a rest stop at the playground. Then we headed to a new frozen yogurt place and spent the afternoon playing in the yard while Daddy constructed our new ( hand-me-down) swingset. Dinner was homemade soup and cheese quesadillas( kids request.)
The night before we spent the evening in Norwalk with our families celebrating April/May birthdays ( Will and Alec). A very nice weekend. So happy to be a mommy to my two little blessings.

Lost first tooth

Picked ella up from school at 3:00 and made a quick stop at the hardware store. As we walked in, she said, " Ahhh, my tooth!" and there it was...her first baby tooth to fall out...the first one I discovered when visiting Vermont( Nanny and Bubba) when Ella just turned five months old. It's bittersweet-she's growing up...and the tooth fairy is coming to our house tonight( we've heard she leaves $5 for the first tooth!)
