I captured Mark and Ella playing "You are My Sunshine" on the harmonica tonight (click on the video below to watch). They make quite a duo, don't they?

Happy Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, Mark surprised Ella with a heart made of her favorite cereal for breakfast. If you have been around Ella at all lately, you know that each morning she requests "pink cereal!" (aka Cheerios with strawberry yogurt). 

Her love for pink cereal came about after she read the book, Pinkalicious -- and adorable story about a little girl who eats too many pink cupcakes, and as a result, turns pink (I think the doctor classifies it as a rare and acute case of pinkatitis). 

Ella keeps hoping that the more pink cereal she eats, she might - just might - turn pink too.

Go Steelers!

Mark has been an avid Steelers fan since the late '70s. When he was in kindergarten, he got his own Steelers jacket, complete with a "McClintic" monogram. Grandmom Janice saved it all these years, and dug it out a few months ago. Ella can't wait to wear it at the Super Bowl party tonight, even though "the sleeves are little long, Mommy!"
