Babies, Toddlers, and Godparents Rule

This weekend we went to DC to co-host a baby shower for our friends Mike and Rebecca at the Scotts. While we anxiously await the arrival of baby boy "Acorn" Schaefer, we celebrated with friends, BBQ, and lots of presents. Both Ellie and Ema (the coolest two year old that Ellie knows) can't wait to have another little one around. Acorn won't even know what to do with himself with two girls trying to show him ropes of being a baby and then a toddler;) And of course, her favorite padrino was there for the weekend, too. Both Ema and Ellie love their padrino and hang on every word he says:

Playing in the sandbox is so much fun for Ellie these days. All the playgrounds we go to in Princeton have one, but Ema's was way cooler!

Ema also read to Ellie, pointing out the words in Spanish and English. Thank goodness someone is going to teach Ellie Spanish!
With the azaleas in full bloom, padrino posed with his goddaughters. Happy times!


And a visit to DC wouldn't be complete without seeing Ellie's godmother, Julie. She loves Aunt Julie and Uncle Eric, and particularly loved reading with her. Ellie chose the challenging book "10 minutes til bedtime," which has no words. Aunt Julie is such a good storyteller!
