Oh yeah...
His face is obscured in this picture, but someone is wearing quite the sweater, isn't he?
Here I go boasting
Ellie is writing her own name (and a long name it is) -- the top "Elizabeth" was assisted. The bottom one isn't quite as good -- but she did it completely on her own, no hand-holding from anyone whatsoever. She wasn't quite 2 and a half when she did this. More like 2 and a quarter -- it was probably early January 2008 when she did this.
I know I'm biased but this kid is like superbright or something.
Ellie reading to her great-grandma
Great-grandma makes these really cool collage cards for Ellie...lots of fun for all involved. And Ellie gets to read them. (She's not really reading yet -- she does recognize all the letters, of course, and knows a few words on sight.)
Christmas tree with big blue elephant
Silly story: Ellie was going to see Santa one morning, and I told her (jokingly) to tell him that she wanted a giraffe for Christmas. Instead she said "I want a big blue elephant." And that's what she told every mall Santa she saw. Naturally, every mall Santa was competely baffled by that. But come Christmas, there was a big blue elephant under the tree. So "the real Santa" must have gotten the message.
Three generations...
Well, not really. But sorta.
Ellie's looking forward to having a baby sister or brother, and is getting some good training in now.
Ellie at Christmas
Yeah, it's only two months past Christmas. Sue me.
Here she is opening a present at her Pappaw Phil's house.

I emerge at last
More pics posted below. Sorry no updates lately -- this having a full-time job thing takes up most of my day.
Ellie's dong great. She's taken a few steps toward being potty-trained -- she seems to be aware of when she's going in her diaper, and she's done a #2 in the potty to match her #1. But overall, she's still diapered.
Tina's doing OK with the pregnancy. She's back on her old friend Zofran for nausea. No actual upchucking yet, but she's been feeling sick when she's not on the pills. She's also having migraines, which contribute to the general difficulty of getting through the pregnancy. This is the last time she'll bear fruit, that's for sure.
Work's going fine. The house is OK -- Ron (Pappaw) put in a new set of front doors for us yesterday to replace the dog-ugly ones we had.
We still have the cats too. Yay.

Ellie as a clown
She's usually to be found clowning around, but here she is stealing your heart as a clown for trick-or-treat.
She got pretty good at saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you." And everyone just loved her.
Ellie holding her Boynton chicken
Apparently the chicken was going out somewhere nice, and had to wear his blue patent vinyl shoes.
