Holidays Beginning



The holidays are here and over Thanksgiving weekend we went to visit my Mom, Blair and the three dogs Jasper (above), Tallulah and Cody in Palm Desert. Ella loves to play with Jasper and he's very accommodating, but he kept his distance with Felix. Babies are something new for him. Ella also took a golf cart ride and got a tennis lesson from her Granny. Ella had never even held a tennis racket before and was able to hit the ball.




On Friday night Ella and Felix visited their Tante Lynne's house, who was being visited Grandpa Martin; and cousins Jessica and Savannah; Julie, Riley and McKenna; and Jackie.

The pictures above are Felix with Savannah, and Nicki and Felix with Grandpa.



We've caught Felix smiling a few times, but its hard to get a good picture of it. Here's one we were able to get. He doesn't want to smile at our us or at Ella, only at our cat Toots.



Ella's friend from her old daycare, Amaya, came to visit yesterday with her Mom. Ella and Amaya both had a blast, and we hadn't seen Ella that happy in months. Ella hopes she comes back to visit soon.

Heeeey! Great to hear from/see you again! A most welcome distraction from an uninspiring day of work (at the home office).

The family is looking most excellent. (Is that Savannah, by the way?) Felix is becoming a chubby little monkey...! He'll be bigger than his big sister soon.
