Elliora loves to eat, and she eats a lot of food. It’s kind of startling how much she can pack away in one sitting. I feel like I spend most of my time these days feeding her or cleaning up after feeding her. (Yes, you can see me in every one of of those pictures. Click here for the large version.)

My Day 3 alternative. Painting pottery keeps me sane. After a rather annoying day, coupled with ongoing sadness about things happening around me (not to me), I needed to paint in the worst way. I felt much better after dotting a mug.

Big bubbles!

The Day 2 theme for 7 Days is BLACK. So I played a song on the black keys only. “Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater” is one of the very first songs I learned how to play on the piano, even before I started taking lessons. My older cousins taught me on the piano at their house.

And here is Annalie, in the BLACK phonebooth.

Elliora has been talking in this weird guttural voice lately. It’s pretty funny. My mom took this video of her, with my brother in the background growling back at her.
