Pumpkin Patch


I took Ellen to the "pumpkin patch" today to pick out a pumpkin. She had fun looking at all of the pumpkins and trying to pick up as many as she could. I'm sure she would have liked to play with the pumpkins all day but, I was sweating to death--it was 91 degrees out!

This looks like a good pumpkin.

I think I can pick this one up!

I found one just my size!

Planting Flowers, etc.


This weekend, Ellen helped me plant flowers. She had fun digging in the dirt, playing in the water and stacking the containers from the flowers. She loves to say, "flower" and she likes to smell the flowers. She is really talking like crazy now. She is like a little tape recorder and can say pretty much anything we say. She is also saying a lot of short sentence. She says, "No touch it" when she's not supposed to touch something, "I find it", "I fix it", "I see you", "I did it" and my favorite, "I love you!"

Ellen used her watering can to water everything but the flowers.

After planting flowers, Ellen went swimming in her little pool and then we pulled weeds in the yard while daddy mowed the lawn.

Some friends of ours brought over their baby, Victoria. She is 6 weeks old. Ellen wasn't quite sure about the baby, especially when mommy and daddy held her. She kept calling her, "Baby Eddie," because that's the baby's name at daycare.

Just being cute!

Ellen loves Bueller. She especially likes giving him treats and is not afraid to have him eat out of her hand.

I found a coconut! Ellen loves collecting the little coconuts that fall off the tree.
