Catch-up and mustard

Well folks, I have finally gotten the motivation to post again. Actually, a lot of these pictures are pretty old, but I still wanted to post them. We will begin at our summer vacation in Utah.
This is Ellie's first sprinkler experience, which she loved. I tried to join her but it was so cold I didn't even last 3 seconds.
The two bruises on her cheek is from a fight with Atticus. He bit her cheek. Luckily it missed her eye. We don't know what caused the fight except that she had him backed in a corner when we found them. It didn't ruin their friendship however. Minutes later and they were back at play.


Back in Iowa:
This is a common look for Ellie. She is a collector of things, mainly weeds and rocks. Each hand will have at least one thing, but usually it is 3 each hand or however many she can manage to hold without having to put down the others.
Who knew a glove could double as a sock?

This tiny thing is our frog friend Ryan and I found on our walk. Isn't he tiny? That is marshmellow mateys next to it to compare.
