I used to brag about Ellery.
She’s the quiet one. Easy as can be. Agreeable. Could take her anywhere.
And that’s still true. Compared to the other two, she’s downright docile. But those other two? I think late at night, when Tom and I are sleeping, they’re training her. We’re suddenly finding her jumping off the arm of the couch and giving us a furrowed brow as she stomps her foot. She’s in nearly a constant state of motion these days. For this reason, this is the best photo of her I’ve gotten in ages. Please. Stand. Still!
On a side note, happy birthday to my sister Susie!
