Good news and bad news

Okay, so the good news is that I finally found the photos of our trip to CAlifornia hidden on the camera somewhere, so I'm putting some of those below. The bad news is that teh camera is now broken. During Ellie's first meal of cereal I was trying to take pictures while keeping her from dumping the bowl of cereal all over, and ended up dropping the camera. :( I can get the photos off, but no luck on getting the camera to turn on since then. So my next task is buying a new camera.

With that, here's some of California:

Ellie with Abuelito, looking at the stained glass in the LA Cathedral. If you're familiar with the building you'll say "stained glass, what stained glass?" It's hidden in the crypt of all places, after being moved from the old cathedral. She was adorable reaching out and touching it, but whenever we tried to capture it on film she just looked at us funny, as you see.


Here they are again, outside the Cathedral looking through the window at us. I love the crazy face Ellie is making.


Speaking of crazy faces, here are Ellie and cousin Alex sharing a moment


This is Ellie with me, Abuelita, and family friend Raquel at the Severinos.


And finally, here's the cutest of the many posed pictures the grandparents did of her on their couch, chairs, and everywhere. Finally we caught a smile!
