ocean voyage

elenora and i were lucky enough to spend an afternoon with j. and micaela in rockport.  first we had lunch at the cafe, then headed out for a trip on his boat.  micaela is so good with elenora, and it was fun for me to see how helpful and grown-up an almost 11-year-old can be.

(if only ella's eyes were open...)

(or j.'s hand was down!)

(or ella would look at the camera!)

here is a sight i've been seeing semi-often the past 2 weeks...

i must be wearing her out!

i bought her the black and gray lambie to go with her other lambie.  she named her "micaela".
