Races and Faces

It's been a pretty good couple of weeks for us. Adam found
out he's been accepted to the Physical Therapy program
at Marymount University in Arlington, VA. We still would
like to go to Baylor and do the Army program, but have to
wait and see if a spot opens up for us. But it's nice to have at
least one school to count on! Yay Adam! Ellie has been doing
great. She's loud and hilarious and still loves attention from
anyone who is willing. Her thing the last month or so is to
get all smiley and start jumping or bouncing against you when
someone gives her attention. She is one energetic girl.

The family went and ran a 5k today. Adam made this
shirt for fun.... but since he kicked butt and won the whole
thing, I don't know if anyone really got to see it. I pushed
Ellie in the stroller and finished in 33:25... much faster than
I thought I could do pushing her. We had fun though.

Looking cute... looks like she is asking something... or just
looking to be picked up, but she usually reaches much farther
and stronger for that.

We've been loving the Spring weather and the chances to hang
out outdoors. Ellie was looking cute in her pretty green shirt.

Another bonus to the warm weather... Ellie is happy after
a bath! She always likes the bath itself, but usually is cold
and unhappy until I can get her dressed. This time she
just wanted to play.

Her hair is getting thicker... and is still a lovely red!

Hanging out with Dad at the park.

More outside time.

Mmmm... peaches.

Rockin' out at the piano. She used to just reach for the books
on top, but now she sits and bangs on the keys happily.

Ellie wanted to thank her Uncle Jake for the awesome onesie!
She likes to feel like a rocker chick!

She had to check out the awesomeness for herself.

She's also very ticklish...

And happy.

I don't know why the lighting was so weird on this...
but I really liked the picture... so here are my two
crazy people!

This one had bad lighting too.... but I thought it was cute...
Ellie and 3 of her cousins sat and watched Pinocchio together
last week. They all seemed pretty intrigued for a while.

Way to go on the run! Ellie is sure cute. Grandpa Roggia looks forward to the time that he can hold her...hasn't done that yet. Her little personality shines!

Good job on the race! And I heard you were at the Covey Center the other day, but I was in a dumb hurry to get home for something :( I don't even remember what now.

Good job, Adam! Love all the pics! Ellie can sit by herself so well! What a strong baby!

Che bella figlia!
