4 McIntosh Apples

I know – crappy home videos that people dread watching, but I wanted to share them anyways.

While April and Ean headed to Ean’s school party, Ella and I had a playdate. We went to Its Playtime, a kid center that provides the space and the toys while we brought the fun!

These are some pictures of Ella in all her glory!

Although a bit chilly, Halloween was fun this year.

Ean the Vampire and Ella the Gator cheerleader!!

Here are the photos from Hallow’s Eve.

While Ean has been grabbing most of the attention lately, with school and soccer. Don’t think Ella has been left out of the action.

I was off the other day, so after we dropped Ean off at school, we went down to the River Greenway with Ella and a camera and just let her go crazy. It was fair game unless she was about to go into the street or into the river.

Fortunately all people, animals, plants and life in general were not harmed in the filming on this day.

The family went down to Downtown Disney one day last week to hit the Lego Imagination Center and let Ean go shopping. My Dad came down and joined us for the afternoon.

We ended up eating lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, which Ean did not like in a previous visit to the Nashville one. After several long minutes, we convinced him to sit down and at least try it. We made it through the meal.

Here are a few photographs from the afternoon as well as the slide show and link to the photo album.

While Ean was busy running through the sprinkler, little Monster was taking a dip in her pool.

At first she was very timid about it, but then she realized that it was just like bathtime, except that in the pool outdoors she doesn’t get in trouble for splashing.

Add her Mickey and Minnie to the pool and fun is to be had for the crew.

Here are the pictures of her playing..well splashing..in the baby pool:

Yesterday, April, the kids and I headed over to my Mom’s house. The day ended up being beautiful and we spent a good portion of the afternoon outside playing with bubbles and balls.

Here are some images of the day:

Last week on my day off, April, the kids and I went down to the park to play around. We flew some kites (well…. attempted to fly). playing on the playsets and just lounged around on blankets. When we got home, Ean broke out his bike and Ella got a kick out of honking the horn.

Here is a slide show of the day:

I hope you enjoy the photos.

When the weather breaks, Ella wants outdoors. Not that she needs any toy, she just loves to walk around, check out things, and make silly noises.

Here is a typical day of Ella outside:

It is nice to finally have some warm weather in these parts. The sun has finally come out from the clouds and we are having some temperatures above 70 degress consistentely now.  This kid’s cabin fever is starting to break as well as they get more time outdoors. We think Ella may have some allegeries as everytime that she is outside she ends up with red eyes and a runny nose. Either that or she is eating too much hemp cereal.

I hope you enjoy the pictures as the kids are really enjoying the outdoors.
