A Visit from Nonna

Last week Nonna came to visit for the week! She came on the train, and we picked her up in Salinas. We went to the aquarium right away, and we went to the beach three times.

Here is Nonna with Ella at Asilomar beach . . . Nonna gave Ella all kinds of slimy beach things to play with--Ella even licked some seaweed :(

We also went to the Natural History museum in Pacific Grove . . .

Here is a rare picture of me! I have about 46 pounds in my arms here. We're out in front of the museum by the whale statue.

At MOPS this week I made Ella a tutu!! It was so easy and fun; unfortunately, Ella is not as excited to wear it. I have to talk her into it, and then she will only wear it for a minute or two.

Here Ella is dancing to a Wiggles song in her new "dancing skirt" as I like to call it . . . she's more likely to wear it if it's for dancing.
