Ella and Reed





Our dear friends from Lawrence came for a visit our first weekend back from Colorado. Phoenix Loves Ella. He even told her over his Pizza dinner :) She just turned 9 and has P double wrapped around her pinky finger. She creatively problem solves, plays with the boys on their level and blesses them with her sweet smile continuously. And while P doesn't show any signs of understanding crushes or romance like one of his friends, he is certainly partial to Ella's older charms :)

Her little brother, Reed, is 7 months P's junior. They've always played quite nicely Beside one another but this time were actually old enough to play Together. After a long afternoon of truck running, rock throwing, tractor driving and swimming the boys seemed pretty bonded. They followed one another around the yard, crouching at various dirt patches, whispering conspiratorially about the mulch aimed at the pool, giggling at a joint swing ride. P then went from tired to troubleseeker and we were off to rest up for the following day of fun ...
