Ella from 01/10 to mid 11/10

 

Halloween, a little late

 

just wanted to post this photo of Ella at Halloween. She was standing in our yard that the tenants had decorated with various halloween items. She was a doctor, kind of in honor of her great-grandfather Carl Gillies, also because i figure this may be the last year i will get to choose a costume for her and wanted to keep it gender neutral.

SSSS..no

 

We had our first snow a week ago. Ella loved it. loves it. she wants to put her coat, mittens, hat, and boots on all the time in order to be able to go outside. i don't love it but i will put up with it for her and the joy she displays. what mom/dad wouldn't.
we've been under the weather this week. we moved back home last saturday after moving from one side of the duplex to the other then staying with Bill and Mary for a week while carpet was installed. the carpet is such a treat. i have never lived in a home with new carpet. we have a lot to do to make the home organized BUT it is livable now and that is good. i am trying not to stress about it because i have a month left and don't want to stress so much that i end up having the little boy too early.
updates on Ella...she is officially sleeping in a bed on her own now, and not just a mattress on the floor of our room. she is in her own room and i found a toddler bed for $30 at Target. it was a web-return that was marked down for that reason. it is perfect for what we need right now. didn't want to invest in something more yet since we are already facing some major money issues with the newbie.
