October 19th- The church girls

It's hard to have a fan club, and boy oh boy do the little girls of church love her. After the service today there was a line to hold her. It was very cute, everyone waiting their turn to get a little snuggle. Ella was very accommodating and even let some grown ups hold her too.

Bonus October 18th -Pumpkin Patch

Today we tried to copy some pictures of me in the pumpkin patch with Ella. She was mostly interested in eating dirt and rocks but we still got some cute shots.

October 18th- Oktoberfest

Today we went to Oktoberfest at church. It was a lovely meal and social event that is part of the stewardship campaign. Ella got recruited into helping welcome everyone and collect the money. She also enjoyed the pretzels.

October 17th-Poor Beaker

Once again nothing is safe for poor Beaker. Ella is all about the dog bed and if she would actually sleep in it I would totally give it to her. Unfortunately she just pulls it places and gets stuck under things. Today it was very exciting because she decided to quit her funny scoot crawl and actually hands and knees it. She is FAST. She is also into everything. Needless to say there will be quite a bit of baby proofing going on here this weekend. 

October 16th- First Macaron

Today Ella had her first macaron. Yeah I know starting her off early. But Mommy was having one with a cup of coffee so I had to share.  This is also a Halloween/Go Giants! outfit.

Do you think she liked it??? 

There was also a potato tart she also enjoyed. 

October 15th - Driving lessons

Gigi brought Ella for a Mid-Pen visit today. There had been some requests and you have to keep your fan club happy. Gigi ran some errands while Ella visited and when I took her out to the car she decided she was going to drive. Here she is "driving". I am very proud she is starting with a stick shift but that car has way too much power for her to learn on.

October 13th- Happy Birthday Daddy

Tonight we had a birthday party for Matt.  Kate made the traditional angel food cake with special frosting, but we dyed it black to make it into a record. It was a music/Beatles themed party. Tricia and Carl and Doug video chatted in to join in the singing.
