Fashionista? ... Tight-rope walker?

Check out the fancy footwork going on in this photo! Ellie is standing with one foot on the top of a gallon jug of water and the other balanced on the top of a three liter bottle of juice.

By the way, E picked out this outfit for herself. She loves her zebra shirt and was thrilled when she discovered shorts that... um ... "match" the zebra shirt.

Summer is ending...

Even though the thermometer is still topping out above 90 degrees, summer is coming to an end. The freshmen arrive on Tuesday and Wes will be teaching again soon. We took the day off on Wednesday and went up to North Carolina for lunch and to check out the Farmer's Market up on the state border.

Ellie LOVED the Farmer's Market. She checked out watermelons weighing more than she does, pumpkins (pumpkins already?!) and lots of homemade knickknacks.

Jumping!

Over the weekend we went to Ellie's friend Genevieve's birthday party. They had a blast! At the end of the party Genevieve asked to get into her crib and invited Ellie in with her. The two of them giggled away as they jumped....

After all the excitement (Genevieve's toys, chocolate cake, crib jumping), Ellie was so exhuasted she fell asleep on the way home.
