Bonus coverage of Ella

New Car

I don't think these pictures need much explaining, Jake finally got his dream car!!! BMW M5. Yes, Jake is giving me private driving lessons so I can drive sometimes. Because for those who don't know I have only driven a manual car twice in my life. So far so good.

Grandma &Grandpa Menard come to visit

This Weekend Grandma and Grandpa Menard came to visit. Ella was such a good girl with them. She had no stranger anxiety and took to them right away. We had beautiful warm weather so we were able to do a little site seeing, the boys did a little golfing while us girls did some downtown shopping. Plus, Jake and I got to sneak out and play a little tennis. Thanks Pierre and Margie for coming to see us. See you in Aug.!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the great dad's I know. We spent the long weekend with Nana and Papa, boy did we get a lot of home improvement projects done. Thanks you both for all the hard work and many hours you spent working in our yard. It's always much more motivating having extra help.
Here are some pictures of Ella practicing her wave, rolling her tongue, and reading. This weekend her new favorite thing to say was, "deedle, deedle, dee"

The Pool

Ella took a little dip in her new pool today. Jake had bought this pool last week because it was so hot but we never had a chance to try it out. I know the pictures here don't really show it but trust me she enjoyed herself. Thanks Nana for the cute swimming suit.

Outside Adventure

While I gave Jake a haircut today, Ella walked in her walker enjoying the cool Spring day.
Ella is quite the walker these days especially if you hold her by her hands. Latley, she is pulling herself up on things. She has also learned how to sniff the flowers in her books. Maybe tomorrow we'll try it on real ones.
