Early morning

Listening to iTunes before reveille this morning. Some things change, some stay the same!

Improvised bath tub

She's going to be too big for this pretty soon. Water got all over the cabin as soon as she remembered how to splash!

More camp life

More pictures from our yogurt snack. We have a cute little two-room (kind of) cabin and are almost moved in. Mike's busy training the counselors, and campers will start coming in on Sunday. Tomorrow the senior citizens come for the day, so it'll be fun to have them around. The weather has been beautiful!

Camp Life

Here's the view from the front porch of our cabin, where Ella and I picnicked yesterday and I got my first bites of the season (she seemed fine).

Sippy time

Ella took to a sippy cup with no problem. She's also taken to every food imaginable. Yesterday she had some of my pasta with Gorgonzola... the other day, chickpeas... she loves cherries too. It's great fun seeing her go after food! We're leaving on Saturday and will be stuck with camp food all summer so we'll see who suffers more, Ella or myself!

Hats, hats and more hats. We spent a lot of time outside this weekend, with and without Ella. Canoed down the creek that runs through Minneapolis, which was beautiful. Luckily we didn't take her, since both canoes ended up dumping at one point! The creek was running high and fast after a cold spring and a lot of rain.
After that we had a tornado warning and Mike saw some incredible hail in the west Metro, almost losing the canoes off the top of the Jeep!

Ella hangs out in the backyard very happily, watching me attack weeds or hang her diapers. She definitely knows to smile at the camera by now (she sees enough of it!) We've noticed that she's a lefty, like her Daddy. Other highlights... yesterday we put her in the crib for a nap on her back and returned to see she had flipped over on her stomach and had a foot stuck through the crib bars. She's getting stronger!
