I had an amusing moment today. I often wonder what the child is thinking, a question I am sure John & Alane ask daily. I was off today so i took the baby out for a walk. She is quite content with the outdoors. We walked down the street around the back of our complex and she was quiet the entire time. Behind our apartment is a canal that feeds the water hazards for the golf community behind us. It goes for miles and has fish and wildlife residing around it. Its nice. They are currently cleaning up the banks and the water of any debris and beautifuing the edges. As we walk past i see an entire family of ducks all walking in a row down into the water and i can see a big turtle with its head above the water. IN my head i thought damn i wish i had a carriage with off road wheels so we could walk down there. At the same exact time Ellexa lets out a yell followed by some garbled sounds and a coo. I though " Me too." I know exactly what she was thinking. And so it has begun, That Mastandrea thing where no words are needed. Just facial expressions and sighs.

Now I ask has anyone ever senn this much Broccoli Rabe in one place? And they wonder why the Meat Pipe has caused them so much grief. I can only imagine the environmental destruction consuming this quantity would create. WOW! Ever seen this in Omaha? Maybe you can start a pile and just keep stacking it. I am sure that aunt cristina and uncle philly would send you some too. It could be like a tourist stop like that giant ball of twine. okay , I wonder if anyone has ever filled a water bed with broccoli rabe and slept in it?

I have one last question i need help with. Does every conversation and statement i have end with a reference to poop? I have been told it is an ongoing problem i will have to deal with. I responded that it will soon be 2 problems that she has to deal with as soon as she starts talking.
I had to put this one in. Its a cool picture. This is at Briahna's Birthday at Disney, Alice's Tea Party. I didnt want to ruin it but Ellexa was the attention getter. Even the characters wanted to play with her. This Ellexa and her Granpa. I think she may be droppin a deuce. My dad has that effect on her apparently. We had 2 1/2 hour drive and she was actually very good. It almost worries us.
