well, you might think this was max's (1) first attempt at painting but it is indeed ellie's (4) picture. guess she was just having fun with the paints. honestly, this is how i see a lot of the pictures hanging in fancy museums. they should just let 4-year olds hang a few to see who notices. :)
another ellie (4) drawing...appears to be our loving (see all the hearts!!) family with some daddy long legs. except...i see one extra person. does she know something we do not? what is mama wearing???
