ELLEN

I promised Ellen I would post a couple of more flattering pictures of her on the blog for all of you, after showing her so many times hidden under her puffy coat and my hat. Here's one of her on her birthday that I took on the school's playground.

Here's one Ellen's mom made of her on the same day - my beautiful niece!

Here's the Ellen I remember from the last time I visited Germany. She sure has grown up a lot.
