Ellie's new roommate?

Nope, this is her cousin Faith. Alisa's extended family came over for a cookout last weekend, and at some point Ellie and Faith were hanging out in Ellie's crib. Good to see it getting some use! I think Faith is watching Ellie's "television" this aquarium toy she really likes.

It was fun having everyone over. We like to cook for everyone about once a year, and then we are so exausted we need time to recover. This year we tried making spring rolls, and they went over pretty well.
