- Clark, Ellie and I all survived last week with Spencer being gone. I realized I'm either not a great mom or just very spoiled, because it was tough. Luckily, I was able to get out of the house once a day to go somewhere so I didn't have cabin fever with the kids.
- Ellie is tall, and big. When did this happen? I don't know. She sure doesn't eat that much.
- Our friend Julie took some pictures of the little ones. Too cute . http://juliealley.smugmug.com/gallery/1914647/1
Ellie had her first school field trip last week to the fire station then Chick-fil-a for ice cream. I was able to accompany the class and enjoyed watching Ellie interact with the other kids. It was her day to be the line leader. Now, Ellie has many wonderfully special qualities about her, but I'm not sure this is her strong area. There was a very exuberant boy in her class, always ready for the next adventure. When it was time to line up, he was first in line, ready to go see the EXCITING fire station. Unfortunately for him, Ellie was the line leader. When given permission to go, she proceeded at a tortoise-like pace, taking in all the interesting things around her....bricks on the walls, smells in the air, bugs flying around her.....the poor boy nearly tripped over her multiple times. He was sweet though and took it like a pro. I wished I had a video camera, but hopefully it will make into my permanent memory files. I laughed by myself at my stop-and-smell-the-fire-station child.
