More Snowmen!!!

Deb Ellsworth — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:25:58 +0000

I think I’m going to keep Colin away from Calvin and Hobbes. The cool part about this one is that he rolled the balls all by himself. Our good friend Michele helped him start them and lift them up but this was mostly Colin’s handiwork.

Here is a peek at the newest residents at the Ellsworth house. There are four Zebra Danios and two Dwarf Flame Gourami.

This is How We Close our Eyes

I just love how Hannah’s eyes closed it really just a tight squint, gotta be sure she doesn’t miss anything.

Hannah Singing

Deb Ellsworth — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:52:38 +0000

I got Beatles Rockband for my birthday and it has been a HUGE hit for the whole family. Colin can get 50% singing yellow submarine and he isn’t too bad on the drums either. Hannah has recently tried to get into the singing game. I’m pretty sure this is her rendition of yellow submarine.

Snowman

Hurray, today the snow was snowman making snow! I haven’t made a snowman in years and years, it is quite fun. Sadly there wasn’t a lot of snow out there, so our snowman needs a shower. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa E for giving Matt the snowman in a sack!

If you can’t tell, Colin is in the front on the right.

Eating on a Train

Deb Ellsworth — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:28:46 +0000

Before heading over to a childrens museum in Lansing we stopped at clara’s which is a restaurant in an old train depot. We got to have lunch on a train. Colin was pretty excited.

Martha Stewart?

Deb Ellsworth — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:47:54 +0000

Maybe not quite. But it isn’t so bad for the first time I’ve ever decorated a cake.

Pirate Ship Balloon

Mmmmm, Cupcakes!

Colin’s birthday party at Imagine That! was a great success. Here are a few teaser pictures. We will post more later.

Hooray for Aunt Suzy!!!

Happy Halloween

Deb Ellsworth — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:45:24 +0000

We have had a busy Halloween and we haven’t even done the official Halloween trick or treating. Below are a few of our favorites so far and if you click on one of them you will be taken to flickr where you can see all of our Halloween pictures.

Included are pictures of pumpkin carving, Colin’s preschool Halloween parade and trick or treating around the Maplewood Village. Hannah had the most fun of everyone at the village and was crying when she realized we were leaving.

First Day of School, First Day of School

Deb Ellsworth — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:26:30 +0000

We’re ready to learn to get some knowledge. Name that movie.

The family tradition (thanks to Suzanne’s family) of taking a picture in front of the garage. Can’t start fingers until 1st grade though.

“Are you excited Colin?”

“Are you really excited Colin?”

With his friend Jackie Kalaher.

“Mrs. Illingworth, this is my pirate ship shirt, isn’t it great?”

As you can see his teacher is already having to tell him to clean up after himself. That blur you see in the front of the picture is his best bud Ellie.

They definitely belong to Matt…

Deb Ellsworth — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:14:45 +0000

In case you didn’t know, Matt is an apple nut. Perhaps he would like to share the story of an apple and a toilet with everyone.

I wanna be like you

Deb Ellsworth — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:30:22 +0000

While reading a story Colin kept licking his pointer finger. I ask him why he kept licking his finger and he told me it was what I did.

Of course I use my licked finger to help me turn pages. Colin wasn’t using his licked finger for any thing.

Colin at the Zoo

Deb Ellsworth — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:09:27 +0000

Our local Turtle Back Zoo has a lovely aviary where the kids can feed the birds. Our recent visit there made Colin and I feel like Dr Doolittle since the birds readily sat on our sticks to eat and stayed a long time, even when other people were struggling to get a bird to come near them.

Hannah’s New Sweater

Deb Ellsworth — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:47:15 +0000

Ok, so it’s not really “new” but it’s been so warm lately I couldn’t bear the thought of putting her in it to take pictures. Well, today she happened upon it during a diaper change and wanted to wear it and NOT, absolutely not, the shirt we had intended for her to wear. And just to be clear how big a fashionista she is, her diaper cover says Hannah across the tushie.

Halloween Preview

Deb Ellsworth — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:42:11 +0000

Anyone care to guess what Colin might want to be for Halloween this year?

Bold Fashion Choice

Deb Ellsworth — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:37:06 +0000

We aren’t entirely sure what she is thinking, but maybe she is showing us a bit of what we can expect from her. If so, I’m scared.

Just like Colin

Deb Ellsworth — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:21:45 +0000

Every day Hannah wants more and more to be just like her brother. I’m just waiting for the day when she wants to stand up to pee.
