Redding Fun


Elise and I have been having adventures in Redding. We got her a portable booster chair, and she has been loving it!
Her aunt gave her this way cute Elmo sweater. Even though the weather has been warmer here, there are moments when she wants to wear the sweater, and she loves to have the hood up!


My mom has lots of projects going, and has found Elise to be a great helper! Just like at home with me!

There is a shelf near the front hallway. Elise fits very nicely into the shelf spaces, and frequently goes to play hide and seek there:


Elise has befriended her aunt Beth. They read stories, sing songs, and take walks. Elise even let me go get my hair cut and stayed with Aunt Beth. What a grown up girl she is getting to be! This cute stripey jumper is one my mom made for Elise. She is such a sweetheart!



We have really been enjoying spending time with our family in Redding. We have been working on hats, flannel board stories, and have done lots of singing, reading, and hanging out. The weather has been great for taking walks, and there is even a yard to play in. Elise has warmed up to Grandma, Aunt Beth, and even Aunt Merridee. We are still a bit bummed that we didn't get to visit the rest of the family, but are glad we've gotten to hang out with this fabulous bunch in mid-California!
