Well, once again, it has been awhile since I posted on here. As I suspected when I posted over the summer, the past few months have flown by in a whirlwind. I am still in school too, which makes the days fly faster than I ever could have imagined. But, enough about me. Now, back to the star of the show--Ellis.
This fall was a time of great transition for Ellis. To begin with, we got her haircut for the first time! I cried; she didn't. Then, Ellis started preschool two mornings a week. Again, I cried; she didn't. In fact, she seemed to take to school right away though she still gets a little sad sometimes when we drop her off. But she talks about her classmates often and really likes her teachers.
Well, I think that sums it up for fall and winter. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I'm going to try to post some pictures from our Christmas in the next few days, so stay tuned for those. And a Happy New Year to all of you!

She was excited about going to school, though I don't think she knew exactly what that meant.
