Ellie loves making Max laugh.

Remember when you could do this?

Me neither.

On August 22, we celebrated our 35th high school reunion.

Here are 5 of our old sextet (consistent "I" ratings at contest...ahem),
Kathy Reeves, Joan Gordon, Rhonda Pruitt, Cathy Rowe, Jane Gordon.

Pam Burcham, you missed a FUN evening.

I'm up higher because I'm only about shoulder height when we all stand together, and, you know, enough is enough!

A CASTLE FULL OF MONKEYS







We celebrated Ellie's 3rd birthday on Saturday at
MONKEY JOE'S in O'Fallon.













I made her a princess castle cake.



















A party can never
have too many
balloons...

















...or too much cake...
