Baby Sparks

Welcome to the world, Sparks Grenfell! Sparks was born on March 20. Here he is one day old. Congratulations to our good friends, Caroline and Matt. It's so fun to share in your joy!

Sparks is looking much like his Daddy right now. Ellie was glad to meet Sparks but went into a small fit of jealousy/rage when Everett held him. She grunted and lifted up her cracker and crushed it in defiance. It was funny.

Baby Sparks stats (as best as I remember them):

Full name: Matthew Sparks Grenfell

Weight: close to 7 lbs

Height: almost 21 in

Book Worm

Well, we have finally found a way that Ellie is like her mama (besides her chunky thighs). She loves to read! Here she is with one of her favorite books Millie Moo. She also loves her Peekaboo Fun lift-the-flap book that her Lolly (Everett's mom) gave her.

Ellie + Richard Lewis = LUV

We had play group at my house on Valentines day... Ellie waisted no time getting to know Richard Lewis Ridgway... notice how she just crossed her leg right over his and took his cracker. What are we going to do with her? :)

Big Girl

Picture 1: Ellie is loving eating "real food" and usually creates a contest with herself to see how many pieces of food she can fit in her mouth at once. The newest record is about 12 Goldfish.

My Apologies

Hi everyone,

I am truly sorry to keep pictures of my precious Ellie from you. I promise I am working on getting them back up soon. Ellie is getting quite big and is about to have her first birthday. She is walking behind her push toys and having a blast. Please be patient with my computer... we are almost up and running again.
