Last year. This year.

A year ago, we were trying to coax Ella to walk on her own in this blog post.

This year, we are trying to coax Ella not to boss anyone who comes within ten feet of her incredibly mobile little self. She was quite vocal at "Ah-men" yesterday morning, turning up the bossing smack dab in the middle of the sermon. No less than six mamas gave me a sympathetic pat on the back and a sweet smile after the worship service.

We had a busy weekend of preparing the yard for Old Man Winter, painting the kitchen, a trip to the art museum and boycotting diapers. Some of those activities were messier than others.

Matthew and Ella helped out at our Lily photo shoot last week. Matthew is very kind to his little cousin and they play so well together.

Here's hoping your internal clocks have adjusted to the end of Daylight Savings Time! So not looking forward to it getting dark by 5pm in Ella-Land...Have a great week!
