Something to Smile About

My new camera lens arrived today, so I'm happy.

And Ella's happy, just because she's Ella and that's the kind of kid she is.  When Ella was little tiny, she'd take the blame for anything to keep Bryn from getting in trouble.  She'd look at me and ask if I was sad, just because I wasn't grinning and smiling like crazy.  She thanks her teachers and parents constantly (and we don't tell her to!)  She just seems to have been born kind and with the ability to express and share it.  What a lovely gift to have.
