The many faces of Ella.

Thursday night we bundled up and strolled around downtown for the last Art (gallery) Walk of the summer season. (Bittersweet, for sure...and nippy!) Ella's daddy and his band added to the fun by performing outside one of the galleries.



Yes. That chilly.



We checked out some art and stopped to listen to our friend Rachel perform.

Our girl was her happiest dancing around while her daddy and friends performed. The sidewalk was her endless dance floor, and the nearby art gallery provided lots of intrigue with the huge glass windows.

Not an illusion, she is quite the jumper during her dance routines.

Autumn is in the air today. Ella asked to put her 'pj's with shoes in them' for naptime. Don't we wish we could all do that? She had the right idea, because she has been sound asleep for over two hours now. The fact that we hosted a neighborhood gathering (Kids N' Cocktails, perhaps the best thing since sliced bread) complete with a Bouncy House may also be contributing to her utter exhaustion.

Life is good. A new season is upon us and although I'm not entirely thrilled about what comes after Autumn, we hope to enjoy every second of the present.
