Daily Ada: 11 November 13

This is what Ada decided to do while Skyping with Mimi and Pa.

She's sitting on her blue chair on the couch to give her more height.

Then she wanted to reenact it, using her puppies as stunt doubles.

Ada loves her helmet.

Cornwall.

Last weekend to celebrate our birthdays we went down to Sennen Cove, Cornwall, which is down at the very south west corner of England, near Land's End. It was wet and windy most of the time but we had a nice trip. Ada seemed to enjoy it, too; she liked splashing in puddles, which there were plenty of. She mostly wanted to watch 101 Dalmatians on the iPad on repeat.

Ada's first kite

Crazy waves crashing OVER the cliff - see the video below

Here's some video from our time there - some of it is Ada but mostly it's the waves, which were particularly impressive:

Baking pumpkin bread. The eggs in the foreground Ada cracked open (mostly) herself. The rolling pin had nothing to do with it except Ada enjoys it, so I brought it out. She always says "roll, roll, roll" when using it.

Ada helping with her first  jack-o-lantern. She helped with some of the goo but mostly she ran around it. She was not a fan of it lit with the candle, but seems to like it generally.

Daily Ada: 23 October 13: "new" pajamas!

Ada picked out her own pajamas tonight and she went straight for the hand-me-down ones from cousin Danielle. She's never worn this style before (or worn bottoms to bed since she's always in her sleeping bag) but she was insistent about putting them on. She immediately ran down the hall to look at herself in the mirror and when I suggested we take some photographs she readily obliged!

Thank you, Smiths!

(This was obviously pre bedtime, so the lights were low - the pictures are a bit grainy as a result. I included a couple blurry action shots to show what a ham she is).

Training for long haul flights continues.
