The many faces of Elli

The water here feels so cold. I think that is partly because the pools are so huge!!! One of the pools is warmer than the others though, so we swim there. The kiddy pool is also nice and warm.

Elli wanted to sit on the round seats. I put her up there and she looked at the server and said, "'Hola." Crazy little girl:)

Posing is a new thing for Elli. She even practices some of her new faces out on me. She had people laughing during this minature photo shoot by the stairs. Here are a couple of the shots.

My goodness! Do you think she pays attention to advertisements on the walls of stores? I certainly am not the one teaching her how to pose this way. I promise:)

I cannot believe how social Elli is. She talks to everyone she sees and makes friends with all the kids around. She is as sweet as can be to others, except for when she is hungry or sleepy:) People will stop us to say how pretty and sweet she is. I think everyone here knows her name and she waves at people as if she is employed and gets paid to be nice. The grandparents here love it and converse with her. The parents here love that she entertains their kids so they can relax. It has been very fun to say the least!

I did ask Elli what Jesus sees when he looks at her heart so she does not get too focused on the fact that everyone says she is pretty. She said, "Jesus sees life." Praise the Lord!
