Standing Tall, Standing Proud ---

I apologize for no posting in so long, almost forgot we had this blog. Will try to do better in the future.

Both girls are continuing to grow. Ella Grace is now in second grade and is coming along nicely with her reading. She likes to read to us in the car, and Eliza seems to enjoy this. She's also taken up horseback riding which she is becoming proficient at. She got stung by a bee while out on the trail one afternoon (so did the horse) and she kept her composure very well according to all accounts. We did film one of her recitals, but Ella doesn't seem to like to showcase her riding... I think it's something she finds personally enjoyable and is disinterested in sharing it with, which is good.

Eliza is beginning to put together sentences and leads a very active life around the house. Two years old now she likes to help with cooking and cleaning and still does a fair amount of finger wagging when she sees something she doesn't think is right, or just doesn't like. She's an avid Wiggles fan and watches the show every morning, I think because they do a fair amount of dancing on the show, which she joins in on. She's also a bit of a trouble maker and is already playing jokes on people for laughs.
