Ellie’s Bookshelf
Reading with Ellie is one of my favorite things, but I am the first to admit some children’s books can be a little obnoxious. Difficult rhymes and lackluster illustrations become pretty tedious after you’ve read a story a hundred times in one sitting. Over the last year and half, I’ve found some books we both…

The weather has been bleak, but these dwarf irises are a lovely reminder that spring is around the corner. Ellie has been making a lot of coffee lately. She spends most of her time running from the table to the bookcase, carrying one piece at time, until everything is just right. “Sit down,” she’ll say and…

It is nearly impossible to take photos of Ellie now. She’s at that always moving phase. Here she is in action looking a little sassy. A month or so ago, Ellie had a strong, unpleasant reaction to wearing shoes. Well, the tide has turned, and she is now shoe obsessed, particularly with our pairs. Here…

The butterflies in our neighborhood love the flowers on my chives. Ellie was finally feeling better this weekend, so she swung for a while.
