Pictures

This was the picture I tried to upload last time. So yes...there she is...playing on the tablet. It was early one morning...and it was cold in our house...not time to turn the heat on yet...so she asked for her jacket :)

Let's see...Josh is in Maryland this week for training...so it's Ella and I for the week. He left Sunday...however Friday night he went over to a friends house to help on a car...and then on Saturday he was there from 9:30-6 working on the car...then left Sunday...so we haven't seen much of him! Saturday...the little girl picked out her own outfit...

She was very proud of herself! And we went to Target, the grocery store, and to the bank. :) Ella took a really good nap...after 2 hours I did go wake her up as I was afraid she wouldn't go to bed at night! Oh and Saturday morning....we all slept in....til 7:45!! I could believe it! I woke up to, "MAMA!" I thought ehh probably around 6:30-6:45...and then Josh says...wow she slept late....and it was 7:45...that's the latest I have slept in at home in quite some time! I got a solid 10 hours of sleep....it was fantastic....it's probably been the only night I have slept through the night in the past 2 weeks. Poor Ella can't shake this cough....it's only at night...of course. So she keeps having little coughing fits through out the night..some nights it's worse than others. I'm up with her usually every 2-3 hours...I feel like I have a newborn again! And I'm beginning to feel like a sleep deprived zombie! :)

Sunday we went to the early service. Josh left for Maryland after church and Ella and I headed to the lake. Grandpa was working...so Ella and I hung out with Gigi. We did go visit Grandpa at the store after lunch though. Ella was excited to play with all the tiggers....and Big Bear...

After going to see Grandpa at the store....we stopped and had a little Sweet Frog....

 

She only ever wants to eat out of the blue cup....which is the biggest size....of course. So I'm sure I put way too much in there...but Ella was loving it!

She slept on the way home...and was super grumpy for about 30 minutes after coming home....she didn't get enough sleep....but it was ok....I just let her do her own thing for a little bit until she got over being grumpy. Then she was just fine.

Tonight we talked to Josh on the phone...Ella was doing a great job talking to Josh. I had to prompt her a little....but she could get across what she wanted to say. She was telling Josh that she was coloring a picture and it was of a rainbow, Bella, and Brinly. She told him exactly what she had for dinner. She told him what she did today. I was impressed at how well she remembered and could really tell him about everything! Then the temper tantrum started when I started talking to him on the phone and she no longer held the phone...I mean on the ground screaming, pounding her fists on the floor....wow! She got sent to time out until she could say she was sorry. Which she did and then changed her attitude.

Whew....yes only 8:40....but I slept horrible last night and my alarm is set for 5am. Time for bed!
