It took a few minutes to get this ladybug to sit still and sit back so that you can actually see how big she is compared to the pink pig.  After her usual amount of devilishness, Ella finally relaxed for a second so I could snap a few pictures.


Esen is in Prague until Tuesday night (and has been there since Wednesday), so I've been slogging away with the single-parenthood.  Thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa Sautner came out for a few days and were an extremely welcome set of extra hands!  More photos of their visit to follow (and they are awesome because somebody was smart enough to bring along the digital SLR!).
