Ella Margaret Had a Farm...

Yesterday, Ella's preschool had a field trip to Elkus Ranch in Half Moon Bay.

Ella looked quite at home on the range.


Ella has come a long way in overcoming her fear of larger animals.


She's definitely not a chicken around the smaller farm animals.


With great trips like this, it's easy to see why Ella loves Bunker Hill Preschool and "Teacher Kelly."

Sleeping Beauty

Like many girls, Ella has gotten into the habit of sleeping with a clock. Okay, I can't confirm how widespread this trend is, but it would probably be huge if all the nation's 4-year-old girls had clocks that radiated alternate hues of red, blue, green and yellow.

When peaking into her room last night, I couldn't resist taking this photo of our sleeping beauty.



I also took one when the clock was emitting light in the green spectrum, but the effect was less Sleeping Beauty and more My Favorite Martian.
