Best Black and White Friends

Norah and Elli wore matchy outfits the other day...had to put a pic of the two buddies. Norah is imitating an elephant while Elli thinks that is hilarious.

G-pa and G-ma Houge

Elli has been loving life with Grandpa and Grandma Houge lovin' on her the last 3 weeks. Every morning she eats her oatmeal with grandpa and plays dolls with grandma. Today she even dressed up as a cowgirl! First thing in the morning she points to downstairs to see them. Yesterday we celebrated Grandma's birthday at a very nice downtown French restaurant (which was NOT specializing in kids) and Elli was such a trooper, waving at everyone and playing "make believe tea party" for 2 hours. Elli is going to be so sad without her grandparents next week!

Happy Valentine's Day (Belated)

Had to post a pic of our little Valentine! Thanks Maggie for making Elli's tights!

Fantastic Fort Worth

Last weekend Paul had a conference in Fort Worth, so we rented a house and my parents met us there. We had a great time being together, touring the stockyards and downtown and playing cards. Elli could not get enough of Grandpa and Grandma and even signed G-ma and G-pa! What a terrific weekend!
