Ellie Visiting

I got to spend the entire day with my beautiful daughter. Ellie and Nicolette showed up late

in the morning and we got to spend the entire day together. I was staying in my sleeping bag on the floor of the living room which Ellie quickly found and wanted to explore. She was so cute climbing into the bag with me and making me drag her around the house while she sat on it. :) Amy, Kirby and Starr all loved her and she was very generous with her hugs for them. We played all afternoon, except for an hour or so of nap time in which I saved food from my mother’s broken freezer downstairs. When they came back up we played a bit more and put puzzles together with each other. She is so adorable and I love her smile! She also loves to dance and show us her “googly” eyes. She really brightens up any room and after burying my father’s ashes the day before she really brightened up my brief weekend home. I really hope that in a year or two her and her mom will come visit me out in Oregon. Check out the video of her crawling into the sleeping bag and getting scared.. so cute! You can hear her softly say... “oh no” at the end of it... hehe.
