On Friday night Brian & I had the pleasure of watching our friends, Laura & Cale Lucas', daughter Ella. They were headed out to dinner for a friend's birthday, and asked us if we could watch her for a couple of hours. What a blast! We had such a great time with her.
(side note...I asked Laura if it was okay that I post pictures of Ella - she obviously said yes!)
Isn't she a doll!?
I showed Ella how to open the screen door
and walk out onto the patio...
she only went back and forth about a million times!
It's a great night to sit on the patio and read a book!
Ella & Brian...but she calls him "Ryan"
Snuggling on the blue chair
(for the record, I also asked Joan, my principal, if it was okay that I post a picture of Michael)
One of our AWESOME first grade teachers!
Mrs. Conkey workin' it at the Duck Pond!

Well, I'm glad to see you got some good Mommy practice in this weekend! Ella is positively adorable...and Michael, what can I say?! He is just the cutest! That is a great picture of the two of you. Little Ryan didn't get to be a part of all the action?!
