Football, School, etc.

After a full month of August that included paperwork for Ellie's needs, ordering school supplies and getting us all used to Daddy being back at work...September is a welcomed change.

Here are Julia and Xavier throwing their stuffed animals in the air - I show you this to illustrate where Ellie can be found during anything exciting in the house.  Right in the middle of it all!

Who knew - put a plate of broccoli in front of her and see what happens!

 The kids get ready for football by all wearing their favorite team jerseys!

Ellie wears the names of some football players after a family tradition of picking players for fantasy football teams.

School has begun!  The big kids at the big table and Ellie at her own table!

(in keeping with my tradition of being "real" for my dear readers, Ellie sitting here only lasted as long as it took to take this picture and multiple painters hit their "artistic wall" right after I took this)

"A is for Apple" this week so Ellie got to try some melted caramel on an apple slice.  She signed for "more"!!
