Summer isn't over yet...

Well it may already be September 9th...heading into Fall...but with our weather at 86 degrees today - still feels like summer!

Last week was a pretty normal week for us. Monday off and then work for the rest of the week. Friday night Josh and I were both in bed at 8:30 each reading a book. Yes - Josh who said that he was never going to pick up another book after finishing school - read a book. A book about a boy who was on the USS Constitution. His interest peaked after we went to Boston and toured the ship. I actually admitted to him that I might read it....although he said it wouldn't be my type...no one dies, no love story, no tears! So maybe I have gotten wrapped up in my books before and cry at the end...of course I get teased!

Saturday was a busy day. We did errands in the morning and got home around 1pm. Ella went down for a nap. I threw some laundry in..and get ready for this...I went for a run/walk. It has been since 2010 (I'm pretty sure) since I last ran outside. My "before Ella" times. Well...I only did 1.5 miles...about half walking/half running. By the time I got home I was ready to collapse! :) And my body (2 days later) is aching oh so bad! My legs are soooo sore! But now the first step has been taken and I need to keep at it! I went over to a friends house for dinner/dessert...we had a little girls night. So Josh got to stay home with Ella! They had pizza and colored. :)

Sunday was a pretty rough day for Ella. It all started out at about 8:45am. She ran into a chair...just not paying attention to what she was doing. Smacked her cheek right under her eye....we had to put ice on it...a welt swelled right up on it. Then we went to church....I had nursery this Sunday...so I was in with Ella....well some little boy...grabbed a book and ran right over to Ella and smacked it down right on her face....I wanted to smack that boy! Poor Ella was screaming crying. I got her calmed down...and 10 minutes later she tripped on something (her own fault), fell, and bit her tongue...and it bled. Poor thing. She's cutting two bottom teeth and they are bothering her bad. She had her first night of Puggles on Sunday night (Awana's class for 2 year olds) - I thought she would really like it...well she screamed and cried and they finally had to come get me because she wouldn't calm down. She will usually cry someplace new - but only for about a minute and then she'll play just fine. I think it was just a rough day.

A few pictures from our Sunday up in Vermont a few weeks ago..




Don't you just love Ella's face in the big family picture....not even cracking a smile!
