An apology and total cuteness

First, an apology to all who may have been eating at the Mexican restaurant with us last night: We are sorry that the loud squeals issued from our booth may have interrupted your dinner. It's just that Elli really loves grilled onions, and Mommy was sharing those from her fajita with her last night. So those were squeals of delight. And the "mo 'nonion" that followed the squealing was just a request for more.....

Second, an apology for going so long between posting. Elli got tubes in her ears, Jeremy went to Singapore, we traveled home to PA to see Heather's family, Elli turned 2, and life sort-of got away from us. But here are some pictures from the past 6 weeks:

Playing with Elli's new Elmo camera.

Do you think Elli or Grover picked the sleeping position this evening??

How does my new ladybug sunhat look? I think I look FABULOUS!

Watering Mommy's flowers.

Aunt Jen brought Bunny Ears with her to Elli's birthday party.... That's quite the bunny face there, Elli!

Did we mention Elli has already begun to share our love of Bubble Tea? Here she is getting tapioca bubbles fed to her from Daddy's straw. (This was much more exciting at the time than opening up presents!)

The ladybug infestation for Elli's birthday -- the cupcakes were what we shared at Daycare, and the Cake was for her party.

Elli tells me, "Bye-bye Mommy. Go Krogers." Is now the time we start the discussion of, "Not with those pants on, you're not!"??

Loving her new Sand & Water table... although it's really more like "water and water" table, because it's so much fun to dump water from one side to the other!

Singing "The Wheels on the Bus" and demonstrating "Round and Round..."

Singing "The Wheels on the Bus".... Mamas on the bus go "shhh, shhh, shhh..."

Looks like pure mischief-making on that face to us!
