Ellis + Maci

= LOVE

Ellis was immediately concerned about Maci's eyes every time the camera's flash went off, saying, "Daddy, don't put the sun in Macia's eyes!"

Ellis and the Gibbon

Here is E at the zoo yesterday.

Ellis walked the whole zoo for the first time. We saw everything and she didn't ride in the stroller once. We walked for over 2 and a half hours (in an attempt to enjoy the day, as well as encourage her baby sister to come sooner :)

And me around age 3?

My mom wanted to see a comparison between Ellis and I when I was this age. Here's the best I could come up with:


Probably around age 3?:



Okay, maybe I can see the resemblance everybody else keeps mentioning...

Petition

In case you haven't checked out the petition banner at the top of my blog, I wanted to mention that it's petitioning a hospital that has denied a little girl a life-saving transplant because of her cognitive delays. She's three years old and will die without a new kidney. Check out her story. If you agree that it's appalling to deny her life based on her cognitive abilities, it only takes a minute to sign.

Blogger App

I finally put the Blogger App on my phone. I just discovered that (for the time being) I can only put one photo up at a time. Maybe I'll figure out how to do more. Here's one from a few weeks ago of Ellis sleeping in the car:



Don't miss the post before this one (after as you scroll down) and tell me when baby #2 is coming :)

Guesses?

I'm guessing most of the people who read this aren't checking it too regularly since I haven't been updating too regularly. However, I'm so anxious to meet our little baby girl and have no way of knowing when she'll come, so in my waiting I'd like to see what you think. Anyone out there have a guess? I'm due on Sunday...

Stockshow Parade

Ellis and I joined Amy and the girls downtown for the Stockshow Parade. Almost immediately after meeting up, the three girls broke into 'Ring Around the Rosie' of course:

Followed by running in circles and giggling:


A short walk together:

And finally lots of waving at all of the cowboys and rodeo queens:


Before long, it was decided we'd better get closer if they were to catch any of the candy being thrown into the crowd:


Clearly, it was a very tiring day:
