From the Mouths of Babes

Ella Loves Her Soap

(at Schoodic Lake this Summer)

I haven't posted yet since Sandi is the one who got this up and running and I just wanted to say hey to everyone and tell you how much I love that you love the blog. I love that people are commenting on this blog site (can you say loving the instant feedback!) and lots of people have been calling and saying that they are checking in. This is a great way for us to keep people up to date, especially regarding the baby news, so you will all be in the loop. Obviously, we will post the birth news. This is primarily to string you along and make sure you check our site often. What better advertisement could we have?

Trish (a.k.a.) Tia has been staying with us in our spare bedroom for the past couple of weeks (we love having an actual guest room and we have had so much company it makes me think of "if you build it they will come"). That way if we go into labor in the middle of the night, Trish will be able to be here for Ella until my mom can come. So one morning, Ella caught site of Trish's very large (sorry Trish but it's true) shoes by the front door. She said, "Momma, Tia forgot her shoes." And then she thought for a minute and said, "It's okay because she comes back here - a lot." She loves having Tia here.

See sometimes there are those cutie snippets and then last night when I put her to sleep she was in her incredibly bossy mood that made me with bedtime was an hour earlier. I told her I needed to go eat my dinner and as I left the room she was yelling at me, "Don't you go! Don't you eat! Don't eat Momma!" This could be the diet plan according the Ella...
