Last month we joined a rec center near our house called the Altoona Campus. It's a great family place where Darren and I can workout (no laughing or heckling, please), Ellis will be taking classes (such as swimming, tumbling tots and later on she can take tap and ballet lessons) and has a great pool. Sunday we took her swimming for the first time in quite awhile and she thoroughly enjoyed herself.
On Sunday morning Darren made Ellis a tent to play in in our great room. She soon moved a ton of stuff into it including her coloring books and crayons, her best friends-Dora, Elmo and Baby, her small chairs and doll's highchair and after this picture was taken her potty chair. Please note this is also Elli's standard outfit on any given day at home--a Pull-up diaper and her Dora T-shirt and not much else.
Mommy's summer shirt sure makes a lovely dress for Ellis!

Our little family at my Uncle's Dean's birthday party on Jan 5th. I'm embarrassed to say I don't have a picture with Uncle Dean in it.
