Fun with Laura & Mike

Normal life STOPS when the Carlstons come to visit! It becomes Family Time, field trips, game time, and good ol' PARTY time! We are all so glad they came for a couple days! Thanks to Eileen & Larry Carlston for making it all possible!

Looking at Ella in this first picture reminds me so much of Laura at this age!



I love this picture of Ella at my piano. Her posture is good, her concentration is focused. How adorable!




Fun at the Zoo
Ella, Janie, Laura, Mike and Grandma went to the zoo together to play on the one day when it was HOT-- in the 80's!... enjoying the animals, bird show, lunch, and carousel together.








DISCOVERY MUSEUM












Build a Bear/Kitty time!
Laura, Mike and Ella had never been to Build-a-Bear. And with Mike being such a stuffed animal ANIMATOR, I knew it was a must visit. After the Discovery Museum at Gateway, we wandered over to that store. What a fun time they had looking, choosing, stuffing, and naming the kitty Ella chose. She looked so HAPPY!





Naming her kitty - "Samantha"



Happy Ella - on way home from an Ella-Day! What a Holiday!



Out to Rumbi's - purple Ella by purple tree!



At Julie's home - game night!



Ella at piano again - At Great Grandma Thomas's home.

Great pictures! I didn't know about that awesome hat Janie got to wear at the zoo. It goes with her glasses. I love the pic with J and Ella both in their hats and shades at the zoo! Those other people are alright too I guess. :o)

I love all these pictures! I especially love the one with all the grandkids - Ella knew who each one was! Thanks for taking pictures, even with all the crap we give you for it. :-)
