Anna's Retired

AKA THE NUTSHELL, VOLUME 3. After my Mom suddenly died 55 yrs young, I journalled every morning over coffee. When I filled a complete notebook,it represented my life in a Nutshell, which felt "Nuts" at the time. Writing is an armor against what is bothering you, a "shell" of sorts. So I enteratined myself by flipping that journal over and writing "the Nutshell" on the front...I found it so clever I named the second notebook I filled "The Nutshell, Volume 2". Sometimes you feel like a Nut...

Visitors

No shortage of wonderful family who just love to play with Ellen. Just before the reunion, her Uncle Chandler was here and I really don't know who was having more fun. I can't believe how at ease he is around babies! He is so sweet to her, it just melts my heart. Here they are working on their first concerto.
then Nane, Michele, Sarah, Ethan and Luke came by after they finsihed shopping for school clothes and brought Ellen Rose a first day of school shirt just like Sarah's. Priceless. We also got a shot of what looks like pure joy. I can't beleive this isn't blurry...they were FLYING. I was trying to decide whether to take the picture or rush over to intervene. Mike is holding her in a reverse choke hold to keep her from flying off the darn thing. Oy vey.
