4th of July

Ellasen had a great time on the 4th of July this year! She wasn't really thrilled about the fireworks last year, but this year she thought they were great. She even held sparklers and threw poppers. She kept asking for more fireworks. I didn't take a ton of photos, but here are a couple.

Ellasen and some of  our friends' kids

The Griffith Father's Day

Tim was on call for Father's Day this year so even though we got to visit him at the hospital for a little while it seemed like we needed to do more! Ellasen and I took him to the cities for lunch, beers at a local brewery and a Twins game. We had a great time, but I only took this one photo!

Silly Girl

Ellasen was having some dessert the other night while I was in the other room putting laundry away. I was talking back and forth with her and all of the sudden I realized she was quiet for a minute. This is what I found when I came out...

She had made herself comfortable and used the left over chocolate from her ice cream cone to "paint" her limbs! Even the bottoms of her feet were covered in chocolate. Needless to say she went straight into a bath, but I couldn't help taking a few photos!
