Underwear model

It's been bitter, bitter cold here for about the past ten days-- well below zero, dangerous to all exposed flesh, but bright and sunny. We haven't been outside much, in this weather, so perhaps that helps explain these next pictures. We're all a bit cabin crazy, and ready for some warmer weather soon.

Ella's on her third round of meds to combat giardia. It's been frustrating to not have it clear up so far. It's meant we've not been able to have her in daycare 2x/wk, but maybe that's all for the best-- we just keep nesting and bonding around here. In that sense, the horrible cold hasn't been a problem at all for us! - jc

A few weeks ago, we posted a pic of Ella wearing a pair of Julia's underwear, taken from the clean laundry basket and twisted in a most artful fashion around her shoulders.

Well, it seems the child has a penchant for creative dressing .

Here are a few snaps, taken over the last couple of weeks, of Ella sporting Julia's underwear in a number of stylish ways.
Above: She actually "oohed" when she saw these come out of the dryer.

Below: Kent reports Ella wore this pink pair like this for several hours.
It has been very cold in the Midwest lately......

Our kitchen helper wearing undies in the 'classic' syle-- around the shoulders.

And here she's wearing a bib on her head. Rather jaunty!

Scoring perhaps fewer points on the creative scale, but higher on the adorable, Ella in her ballerina gear.

And a photo worthy of a fashion spread. Note the despondent look on the model's face as she contemplates the nothingness of being, while looking fabulous ....

And then, the model gets the giggles....
