Eleanor was looking through the Ikea catalog this morning. When she saw all the products numbered (to correspond to their descriptions below), she thought it was a connect-the-dots picture. She was disappointed it didn't result in a nice picture when she did, in fact, connect the dots.
Eleanor started a list of baby names. They are all girl names. Tell you anything about her preference? In case you're trying to read it the list reads: Mia, Rose, Olivia, and Hannah. Lily got added after the picture was taken. These came from a story book that included lots of names. A few names that didn't make the cut: Iona and Matilda.
After church and naptime, we went to a place owned and cared for by the state horticultural society. Claire points to her favorite flower, a multicolor variety.
Eleanor chooses her favorite. Not a minute later, while grabbing a big blossom, she got her first bee sting.
Of course, a few minutes later she was running around and doing just fine.
Running through the rows of plantings.
While Claire talks to Daddy on the phone, Eleanor climbs a tree.

Running to another part of the gardens.
Down a pretty path. Have to go find the pottys, you know.
Time for a picnic dinner.
Eleanor was excited to "dribble the soccer ball" after kicking it around with Daddy recently.
Happy just to run around in a big field.
Claire is excited about the special dessert that accompanied our picnic.
More fun kicking.
Claire even got in on it.
Tired girl, fell asleep on the way home.
