Early Birthday

The past week has been a normal week...Ella finished out her antibiotic and seems to have recovered well this time around! Josh had a whole 3 days off from school from when the last semester ended to it restarting again this past Monday...so he's back in the swing of things - 2 classes again.

Josh left on Saturday to go to Orlando for a few days...for a conference. So Saturday night...I partied at home...are you ready for it...I cleaned the floors, polished the hardwood floors, polished the stainless steel appliances and kitchen sink, and washed all the kitchen windows....whew...it was a good time! ;)

We went to church today...Ella and I...I got paged to come get her...but it was a false alarm...she had calmed down...so I left her in there...and I sat out in the lobby (there is a TV where you can watch the sermon)....just in case I got paged again (Ella doesn't really love the nursery) - and I was sitting towards the front of the church...I didn't want to keep going back and forth. Which was fine - she did well. Then we headed home. Grandpa and Gigi were headed over and bringing lunch!

Oh...this is a picture of Ella chowing down on some pizza Friday night...she's not at all like her Mama...she LOVES pizza!

So Grandpa and Gigi came over....and Ella might have a slight obsession of playing with her Grandpa...she was a little show-off and wanted to do everything with him (sorry Gigi!)

They brought lunch, a birthday balloon, and birthday presents for Ella!

 

We had a fun afternoon! Ella took a great nap after they left...while she was napping I made mini-cupcakes...for Ella to bring to the sitters this week. Since we won't be here Friday - I figured it would give the kids there a sweet treat for the week! And that was it for the day...Ella had a bath tonight, she's in bed now and I have a load of laundry going and I am about to go open my book and read! :)
