New threads and a supermodel

Ell and her new cowgirl outfit. She is doing a little new boot goofin'!
I have gotten a little creative lately and decided to try my hand at sewing (again). Well, so far sew good. Here is Ell modeling some of her new threads.
Here she is in her denim and crabs sundress.
Her pink flamingos.
And her new pink doggie skirt with a faux pink fir trim paired with her silver boots, perfect for school... Very Ellie!
More shots of her new skirt and Ellie striking a pose...

Preakness Weekend



Ready for rain!
Wiped out after another long day!
Dr. Schatzie and Dr. Ellie reporting for duty!
Water fun on Friday evening before the storm and (marble sized) hail.
Schatzie (and her hiney) posing to show off her new haircut and fewer toothed smile. Last week I notice that she had one or two loose teeth on the bottom in the front. I took her in to the vet this week and 7 hours later Schatzie was on her way home with clean chompers and 4 teeth lighter. The good news is that she is doing great, there was no abscesses or infection, and the snaggletooth stayed! What a trooper!
Some of Ellie's schoolwork. Ell is doing great in school... Vocabulary, mathematics, and reading. And in case you are wondering, they are pears. Get your mind out of the gutter!!

Going to see the launching of the hot air balloons. They never did launch due to poor wind but it was still awesome to see!
More balloons... Definitely worth seeing even if we had to get up at 5am!
Ell and I... She was a little tired!
More balloons (again)!
Ellie and the balloons.
Our favorite balloon.
Happy Graduation John!
Ellie and Andrew snacking in the corner.
Ellie trying her hand at lacrosse... Go Girl!!
They are coming to get me!!!
Monkey in the tree!
Ellie the bubble queen!
3 birds on their way school.



Mother's Day Weekend

Play date Friday night with Joelle and Spanky...
Joelle and her 3 month old Boston Terrier, Spanky.

Ellie and a sleepy Spanky!
Downtown with Ell on Saturday...
We walked past the giant Coast Guard ship on our way to the aquarium.
At the aquarium we saw the 4D Dora and Diego movie... It was awesome!!!
Ellie is ready with her glasses.
Our seats shook. We could smell the rain forest and bananas. Bubbles came out of the rainbow. And we even got sprayed in the face! It was so cool!!
Ellie and a (picture of a) penguin.
Checking out the tropical fish.
We caught the dolphin show.
And even got to see a parrot, Louise, up close! Now, we are off to...
lunch!
A self portrait of Ellie and Curious George at Port Discovery. A good way to finish off the day downtown!
Ellie and I with Space George.
Ellie climbing to the top!
It was a perfect day!
