Another Daddy Hiatus

Daddy was on another hiatus for a few days when he had to go to Washington DC. Ellison did well with the absence, surprisingly. On this particular day below, Ellison asked me to put piggy tails in her hair when I was getting her ready for school. She looked so darn cute we had to take a few pics to send Daddy on his cell phone so he could eat his heart out.


On the way home from school, Ellison usually tells me random little stories from school (which I adore). When I asked her if anyone said anything about her piggytails, she said, "Davis was touching my piggytails, and I told her 'Make sure you don't take my piggytails off my hair because my Mommy loves them' ". Hee, hee... God I love her!


For dinner that night, Elli and I went out for a "Girls' Night Out" to Red Robin. It was fun, just the two of us. As soon as she saw, well, Red Robin, that girl was LIT UP! She totally has this thing for giant mascots. She was jumping up and down on the booth, where I was holding on for dear life, until the big bird came over to give Ellison a high-5. She was so thrilled, and had a hard time focusing on finishing our meal - she couldn't figure out why Red Robin was standing at the door, why he went in the kitchen, why he wasn't coming back over to our table, etc, etc. :-)

Loved photographing you three today. And seeing you, of course, since it's been forever. Playdate when life settles down?
