By special request . . .

Here's a picture of all of us.

It was taken by a very strange man but he did a good job. That's actually the biggest Ellie's ever smiled for a picture.

Also, 2 nights ago Ellie had a cup of milk in the kitchen and decided to put it up on the counter herself, 'cause, hey, she's seen Walker do it so that automatically means she has to try it. Yeah, she got it to the edge but then it dumped out all over her face - sort of like the trick with the bucket of water balanced on the top edge of the door. I would have taken a picture but she was near tears so I dried her off instead.

Oh yeah, you know how they say your kids grow up so fast? Well, Walker, all three years old of him, now all but refuses to take a bath. He's decided that showers better suit his sophisticated lifestyle. He also got a Leopard's shirt the other day and was pretty excited. Carla told him he could wear it to the games this season. Walker said, "But Mom, are you sure? I'm too little." Carla had to clarify - he can wear it to watch the games, not to play in them.
