While running errands the other day, I found a blow up pool, float ring, and ball for 5 and half dollars. Ellie now has a little pool in which she loves to play. The pool sits on our front patio which is great because it's so shaded that she doesn't need sunscreen to be out there. On the other hand, the hose water doesn't get very warm. That doesn't bother Ellie though. She loves it.

I didn't realize the extent of Denver weather and storms. I thought this picture just looked cool.

| I think the people who live in that direction are really wet right now. |
Ellie loves going out our kitchen patio and looking at the oree-orange sky. Some nights have better colors than others, I think she just likes being outside whenever she can.
 |
| One of the better sunsets we've had. The sky was more pink than the picture shows. |
 |
| Same night as above, just less exposure. I was trying to capture the pink. |
Ellie no longer calls for me to come take her out of bed after naps. Instead I usually find her like this.
 |
| Boo! Hi mommy. |
The blanket on the head is not just a nap time thing either. She puts dish towels, sheets, Jake's and my shirts, etc on her head. Sometimes they just sit on top like hats. Others they are ghost coverings. Either way, it makes me laugh.
She has switched from calling me "momma" to calling me "mommy." She hasn't made the "dadda" to "daddy" transition as well but every so often she calls Jake daddy.
