The other day Elsa and I were playing outside while Gibson was napping. I thought I should make good use of the extra-long dandelions decorating our lawn. Elsa was was very excited about her crown, and I was very excited that I took some pictures that actually looked decent. I think I inherited some of my mother's picture-taking skills. And since I couldn't decide which photo to post, you can look at both of them. Another key in the "successful" photo shoot. Ask Elsa to say "cheese". When I ask her to smile, I still get the "funny face" with the fingers pulling the mouth out. We still thank Grandpa Reed for that one! Oh, one more thing. She is standing in front of the flowering almond. We're going to miss that little tree when we move. Maybe we'll ask if we can come get a starter next Spring.

And for those with a keen eye, yes, her shirt is on backwards. She dressed herself.
