Late March

Ellie getting ready for the first egg hunt this year.
And she is off... Nothing like an egg hunt at the playground!!
Big smiles from the cutest bunny wearing those red boots!
Ellie at the Towson Library hiding in one of the nooks.
Picking out books.
Running down the big spiral ramp... I used to love to do that too when I was her age!
Playing outside of the library in the courtyard.
Running around the dragon's tail.
Hanging out on a Saturday evening playing in her city.
Smiling Ellie and Shatzie after her bath.
After church on Sunday there was a pony and a donkey for Palm Sunday.
Ellie petting the donkey.
Sunday afternoon Ellie, Meme, and I went to see Sleeping Beauty ballet at Towson University.
Ellie was kind of apprehensive about the whole thing but once she realized that the witch wasn't too scary she really enjoyed the whole thing.
See, that is a pair of happy ladies.
Schatzie.

March... In like a lion and out like a lamb.

Sunday, March 21st...
Sunday after church.
Then to the pancake store for lunch... Pancakes and french fries, both with syrup.
Off to Annie's Playground for the afternoon.
There are so many things to do... Play houses, slides, ropes, monkey bars...
... and lets not forget about the swings! Ellie LOVES swings!
There is also a fantastic princess chair in the memorial garden.
On the way back to the car Ellie and I had a ball running and rolling down the hill. Wait, let me rephrase this. Ellie had a great time running up & down the hill and pushing me down the hill... log rolls, forward rolls, and backward hills. By the time I was done I couldn't see straight but it was totally worth it to hear that laugh and see that smile! Oh the things you do for love...
On the way home from Annie's Playground we stopped and had a nature walk along the Gunpowder River. We learned about moss, thorns, new growth and buds on trees and shrubs, and about the ebb & flow of the river.
On the dryer part of the walk. And yes, Pink Baby came along too!
Saturday, March 20th...
We headed over to Meadow View Park for some fun with friends. We had a fantastic picnic and played, played, and played some more!
Ellie being silly on the slide.
Michael hiding on the slide during a fierce game of hide-n-seek!
That is Ellie hiding. If I can't see you then you can't see me!! Well, at least I think that is what she was thinking!
All smiles on such a beautiful day... 75 and sunny! Finally spring is here!!!
Ellie and Michael
Showing off her shorts... It is the first day warm enough to wear shorts and
THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!
Now that the sun is out later and it is warm Ellie was able to try out her new (to her) trampoline. What fun!
First day of spring!
Welcome back, we sure did miss you!!
Monday, March 15th...
Ellie came to work with me before her physical. SH likes playing on my computer at work because of the games and the spinning chair!
But don't worry, I also put her to work. She helped me label my bottles.
She really is a super help!
At her physical... Here is her hearing and eye check. Everything looks good!
She is 41" and 36.8lbs... The doctor said she is growing wonderfully!
Way to grow Ellie!!!
Wednesday, March 17th...
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
