"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Everybody's Wingman

This morning, M took her shoe and began licking the bottom of it.

Luckily, E was nearby. She was able to ask such helpful questions as:

"M, does that taste good?"

"M, is that yummy?"

What are big sisters for, after all?

Meanwhile, last night she informed Justin that he was her favorite Daddy because:

"You have freckles and you're fat, which is very Daddy-ish."



Boy do we love her, and all the crazy things she comes up with...

Love the Ellie-isms.

I LOVE Ellie's Daddy's freckles...and I DON'T THINK HE IS FAT!!!

Other than that, I have to say that I almost always agree with Ellie!
