{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}

Capturing the context of contentment in every day life...

{Pretty}
Ellie played goalie for her team for half of the game on Sunday.  I know she's hot and sweaty and her hair is a mess, but I think she looks very pretty.  She's so happy playing the game that she's glowing...or maybe it's just sunburn.

{Happy}
Somebody has been a big ball of trouble with a capital T this week.  You see, we figured out that we could pull out the chairs and sit at the kitchen table like the big people.  As a result, we have spilled juice all over ourself and the floor, we've gotten into other people's school work and have pretty much driven a certain mommy person crazy by standing on the chairs and trying to crawl across the table top. We're very proud of ourself in case you were unsure.

{Funny}
Madeline's soccer coach has the magic touch when it comes to Katie.  He sings a little salsa beat and and dances with Katie on his shoulder and within minutes she's out like a light.  We had two soccer games on Sunday and since it was nice out I was doing my best to go to the girls' games this weekend.  Ellie's game was during Katie's nap time, so I was so happy that her "Uncle Rohan" was around to put her to sleep.  I originally had her facing the soccer field but Rohan decided after seeing a ball go out of bounds that Katie should have her back to the field.  Literally 30 seconds later the stroller got hit with a ball.  A minute later she got hit again.  If she hadn't been turned around she would have been jolted awake for sure.

{Real}
I really like how Madeline and her teammates will not only entertain Katie on the sidelines of Ellie's games but will also cheer on Ellie's team.
