"Hey! I want in!"

"Oh...hi Mommy!"

Daddy and his littlest girl

Ella keeps us busy by crawling over to turn off the television whenever she is feeling mischievous. Her little face says it all. When I tell her "no", she turns around and smiles with the biggest smile on her face. The sweet thing is she usually chooses to stop and drop down on her bottom. Then, she starts clapping for herself! :)

Sometimes Abby asks if she can write my grocery list.  I've found that it's usually when she wants to add something to the list herself. See upper right hand corner. 

Big sister gave Ella her first set of wings. 

Abby takes the role of super hero very seriously.

While pointing to the picture of a diamond ring...
A: Mommy, I would really LOVE a ring like this someday.
M: Well, one day when you love a man are ready to get married, he will ask you to marry him by giving you a ring like this.
A: Do you have a ring like this?
M: Yes. This is my diamond ring.
A: Your "I'll love you forever" ring that Daddy gave you?
M: Yes!
A: Well, Mommy.....I really just want to marry Daddy. Can I just marry Daddy?
M: You can pretend to marry Daddy everyday until you are all grown up!
A: No, I don't want to pretend. He is the only person I really want to marry. Ok Mommy?
M: Ok! ;)
(Ooooh my precious little girl!)

Go Orange! 

One morning I turned around and found this. Amazed by Abby's three year old writing.
