We spent the 4th of July this year up in Santa Barbara at the home of Sheryl Marquis. It was like staying in a fancy resort, private beach and all. This picture was taken in her backyard.

Ella means 'beautiful fairy'. It suit her. She is magical in her sweet pixie way.

This is mommy's favorite picture of Ella.

Here is Ella on Father's Day, wearing the pretty outfit that Grandma Cardon sent her.
