Sweet Love


We snapped this picture last weekend after a night out for dinner. I love this picture and can't believe how big Ella is getting and how grown up she's become. She is so sweet and always giving us hugs and kisses (muuaawwwahhhh)!

Weird things my child does...

Like this: I have no idea...

A few things...like a bloody nose

It's been a few weeks since my last update. We've had a few things going on.
1. Ella fell down the stairs on 2/27 & got her first (I'm praying last) bloody nose. OMG! I felt so terrible. She was on her way up the stairs and we had Lilly (the dog) staying with us, and Lilly decided to head up too, so that startled Ms. Ella which caused her to fall back & down like 4 stairs. Somehow in the chaos of the fall, she hit the bridge of her nose just right on the stairs which gave her a big bruise (and bloody nose). Not my proudest parenting moment. I was standing right there, but I was bringing a bunch of stuff upstairs and it all happened too fast to grab her before the inevitable. Why did it have to be on MY watch?!?! You can see the bruise (this was day #3) in the picture below.



2. We made our first trip to the Children's Museum (St. Paul) that same weekend of the 27th. Talk about craziness! It was a bit hectic and tons of kids (most older than Ella) but we all had a good time anyway. Ella's favorite parts: the bubbles in the water area of the museum and checking out the LEGO dragon (which she calls a "saur" as in dinosaur). I'm sure we'll go back, but probably when Ella is a little older and can play & explore more areas of the museum.

I guess Ella thought she was under arrest?!?!
