Ella was tying her shoes this a.m. when I overheard the following:

"Ahhhh no. One of my shoe laces is dead."

Here are some more of my vacation pictures.

This is how I kept from getting sunburned...just kidding - my dad buried me in the sand on our last day at the beach. I had so much fun at the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Field Trip to the Alpaca Farm

I picked up Ella and lil 'E today from daycare. Ella came zooming down the hall, all smiles when I asked her how her day was. She stopped in her tracks, looked at me and said "Not good...I got kicked by a llama." She is hysterical.

(ella wrote this all on her own and even posted it. translation is: "I went on a vacation and i got to pet a horseshoe crab and I got some horseshoe crab earrings and it was fun.")

PS - she wants to be referred to as eleanor now :).
