Fall fun

We all enjoyed the beautiful fall weather this weekend and went to the park and Yates Cider Mill. My belly is starting to cooperate more, and I was happy to be able to enjoy some time with my family. Ella is continuing to assert her independence and wanted to walk all by herself at the cider mill. She almost got to ride a pony, but we'll save that for next year. At the park, we knew it was time to leave when she started shouting, "ELLA'S TURN!" at all of the bigger kids who were trying to walk past her up the stairs to the play structure. She thinks she is just as big and capable as they are and was rather insulted that they did not think so, too.

Ella really loves the swing and laughs and laughs the whole time.

This appears to be her new smile... it's the best we can get out of her for pictures now.
