This is how I go!


Mary Ellen has learned what she needs when we say it is time to go. She is now playing with her own stroller and gets all of her stuff together. Some days, I find my keys and sunglasses there too!

California Trip


Mary Ellen quickly started off her trip to California with a home grown tomato that had just been picked.



We went to the Farmer's Market, and Mary Ellen was able to eat her way through it! She loved the food and watching all of the people.


Checking out the train going past the Farmer's Market. This is the first train that Mary Ellen had seen in person.


Ready to get out and walk around after riding her way through the Farmer's Market.


Playing with Busia's cane.

We also went to the duck pond. Mary Ellen liked sitting down to watch the ducks that were all over the place.






What a great ice cream cone!


Mary Ellen became a part of the family by enjoying her first visit to Pizza my Heart in Palo Alto. She loved the pizza!


Taking the mail to the mailbox!

Holly




Mary Ellen loves dogs! And luckily, Uncle Tyler and Aunt Rayni's dog, Holly, is a very friendly dog that will let Mary Ellen love all over her. Holly does like the benefits that Mary Ellen will share her goldfish too!

Labor Day Weekend

During this weekend, we took a trip to the zoo, cheered the Hogs to victory, and a church picnic. We also had a block party, but no pictures got taken then. We had a great weekend!

The elephants were named Mary and Ellen!
