So, we're back (after a longer hiatus than I would have liked).  As many of you know this last fall was very busy, with some very difficult things and, at least one, joyous event.  So far this year, work has been very busy for Ben and me. Ben because of the challenges of being part of a start-up company and me because of 2 vacant positions in my department. Through it all, Eleanor continues to bring us much joy and laughter.


I thought I would just post some of the better pictures of her on this post and touch on what we've been up to for the last couple of months in later posts. Enjoy!

Eleanor has recently developed a passion for coloring.

A lovely sunny day, perfect for picking up rocks.

The cool chick in her pajamas and tutu, loving the truck that was a hand-me-down from her cousins.

Sweet pea!

One of my all time favs.

Happy girl! She loves to be outside!

Sliding is a favorite past-time
