Mostly caught up

Today is a big day. Yes, it's the day we inaugurated Barack Obama, our first African American president. Yes, it's the day we remember the first official game of basketball ever being played (1892). And yes, it's the anniversary of Turkey's first national constitution (1921). But for our purposes here today, January 20, 2009 marks Ellia's nineteen-month day. We have noticed lately that she is no longer a baby but a little girl with full-on personality, words, and passions. So here are some great pictures of Ellia from these past few months with family and by herself.

Still catching up from Halloween...eek

Halloween, etc.

Yeah, we're obviously way behind. But we're catching up!

A new update (whaddya know)

From the past semester

All I can say is, wow, it's been a while. We have a slew of pictures to get through. These pictures are from this fall season. Ellia has now begun her second year (in fact, at this point she's very near 18 months). But here are some shots for now.

Sweet girl!

She's starting early.

Last memories from SF

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. We've been a bit busy. But hopefully we'll be able to put up a little more frequently. We love you!
