Fish-slapped!

A few weeks ago we went to a farmstead; it's wonderful and free and everyone in the area loves to take their kiddos there. Eric decided that this would be a great opportunity to introduce Elle to fishing. Oh how he had expectations. ;) So it got off to a really good start and she caught a fish pretty quickly. But then, the fish fin-slapped her in the face and well, that was that. The moment was gone...notice the last pic in the below montage. I've also loaded two videos, one taken right after the fish-slap and then Eric's desperate attempt to salvage the moment. I'm laughing again!

Puzzles, puzzles & more puzzles!

Elle is really good at puzzles. She has about 10 of them and can match the colors, patterns and numbers together perfectly. She is still working on the alphabet one, but she's getting it too. She gets this talent from Dada as I can hardly put together a puzzle to save my life or pull out my hair trying! Well, I could probably manage these puzzles. :) She 'works' on them morning, noon and night. It's just her thing!

Random Stuff

While I'm downloading pics from Gram & Papa's visit, I decided to upload some pics from last month. Just random stuff....

Drinks from a regular cup all the time and so good at it!
