Before Bedtime

We hung out on the Big Bed before reading books and going to bed. Ella would sit up then fall backwards onto the bed, laughing and do it all over again. It was so cute! We tried to capture it on video, but never could get her at the right moment.

Lazy Sunday

We hung out with the Vandeburgs a bit before they headed back to San Antonio and then we went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather in the afternoon.

Friends in Town

Jason, Alicia and Kayla came into town for the evening. David and Michelle came over and we cooked dinner and hung out with the girls until they went to bed. Tonight was Ella's forst official bath in the real bath tub... Mama broke down and made the switch.

Mama and Papa Leave Ella!!

We went skiing in Wolf Creek and left Miss Ella with Granny and Popo for the longest we've ever left her. Since I had the flu, Kevin took her to San Antonio ealy on Thursday and I picked her back up the following Wednesday since our flight got back into town too late on Tuesday evening. We had fun and we know she did too, but I really missed her!

Sarah and I took it easy the first day and hung out at the hot springs in Pagosa Springs. It was fabulous!

Still Bathing in the Sink??

Yes, I am too lazy to give up the sink bathtub and move to the real tub. All I can think of is how much my back and knees are going to hurt every evening... Someday soon I will muster up the courage, but for now, the sink tub still rocks!

13 Months!

13 month picture in the rocking chair... It's getting harder and harder to keep her situated. This may be one of the last official rocking chair pictures we take! : (

Lunch Time at Daycare

What a big girl! Using a spoon and sitting at a big kid table! Mom's not brave enough to let her use utensils at home yet...

Talking Ella

She loves to crawl in and out of her bathtub. Today she had a lot to say about that bathtub!
