Evenings here are slow and comfortable. By the time 7:30 or so hits, Ellie is ready for chill time with Mom and Dad. We generally hang out in the living room these evenings, watching the Olympics and playing with our gal. She's getting more and more entertaining and it's fun as she interacts with us more and more. Her most recent "game" is pushing herself up to standing on our laps (something she's done for a long time) and then suddenly releasing her knees and sitting down hard into our laps (the new part). She will do this Stand/Sit game over and over and over again, sometimes acting very serious about it and sometimes giggling madly.

Packing
Seth, Ellie and I are working hard at packing up our Utah Adventure. Boxes abound and our "home" feels quite disassembled, but it is good to feel progress toward our new life. Ellie is such a help during this tumultuous time as she smiles and giggles, coos and kicks. I'm thankful for her and amazed at how well she helps us keep perspective in the midst of stress.

Eleanor is just about the age that Allison was when we moved from OR to IN last summer. I remember what a joy it was to have Allie with us during that time to bring smiles to our face and to help us keep priorities straight. I LOVE this picture. Your daughter is adorable :)
Is it just me or does baby Eleanor look a lot like her daddy in this picture. What a cutie...
