Disney on Ice and More...

Adessa kept calling it Disneyland, but we got to sit in a Penthouse box at the HP Pavillion to see Disney on Ice. It was awesome. Awesome to sit holding Adessa and have special time with her. Awesome to see her so excited and enchanted by it all. Awesome to spend time with our friends who had the box connection, Kim, Jim, Gwen and Julie. Eliana was happy to hang with Grandma and Grandpa Lewis, and it was very nice to just have to worry about Adessa. Before we left, as I was dressing Adessa in her Minnie Mouse costume, she said: "Minnie Mouse will be so happy to meet me." That's right girl. I'm pretty sure Minnie waved right at us.

Posing with Grandma pre-show, in all her Minnie finery.

We tried to get the perspective here, can you see the ice?

An impromptu bath in the bathroom sink. (Can you see how we need to remodel, or at least update?)

This girl is trying it all out these days. Eliana tries to say: ball, uh-oh, more, bye and hi, and is so engaged with what's going on around her. She's also trying to stand and clap at the same time, she tries to pull herself up on everything, she tries to play with Adessa or whatever Adessa's doing, which has lead to another new noise she makes. Pretty much when she sees Adessa coming towards her she shouts: "Nahh!" because that's what Adessa says when she snatches toys away from her. Oh dear.

Here she is stuck between the stove and the counter. Again, can you see we need to remodel???? 8)


Sisterly love. A big smoocheroo, or maybe mouth to mouth? (So that's how they do it in their family... Ferris anyone?)
