Misc pictures of our angel
Ella Kate and George, good friends
After church one Sunday. She just looked so adorable we had to get some pictures on the back steps.
This little white stool may look like just a stool, but it is so special to me. It is actually from my Grandmommie's house (my Dad's dad, also named Catharine, who is now 97.5 years old!). As the only grand daughter (surrounded by tons of boys) I remember sitting on this stool when I was a little girl. I don't even know why I liked it so much, but it is the perfect size for just about everything when you're a kid. When Granmommie moved into an assisted living apartment a couple of years ago she was going to get rid of it. Luckily my Dad just happened to be there that weekend and I specifically asked him to save it for me. Now Ella Kate uses it for everything, and as you can see, she's found yet another creative way to work it into her life. She's into apples lately and when I peeled and handed her this one she first had to go get the stool and push it into the kitchen and position it just right. I just love this shot. She's eating an apple and drinking milk sitting in/on the stool from my most precious Grandmommie (her Grand Grand). I will cherish this one.
Just looking sweet, as usual :)
Chris dumpster diving
Chris is in this paper recycling dumpster for a reason, I promise! We managed to accidentally throw his replacement cell phone away with the paper! I didn't realize it was in the box with other papers and put it with the recyclables. Chris didn't check it when he dumped the whole thing and there you have it. We were lucky on many counts: 1) we caught it pretty soon after it was dumped 2) there wasn't much paper in there yet 3) it was paper not plastic so it was pretty clean 4) it was a week day so there weren't too many people out yet. It was quite a fiasco having both of us in and out of that dumpster in our work dress clothes (me in a black dress and heels!- where's that picture?) but ultimately we won out. Actually, I won out-- I'm the one that found the phone. I think I scared the wits out of a sweet elderly lady, but other than that no harm was done. Whew! LOTS of antibacterial gel was used after that adventure!
