Back in San Francisco

We arrived back yesterday afternoon. Ella was incredible on the plane. She slept for the first 2 1/2 hours and then she watched movies, drew with crayons and looked out the window for the rest of the flight. Becca picked us up and Ella was really happy to see her. We arrived home and Ella immediately banged on Stella and Juliet’s door. They weren’t home and Ella had a melt down. She recovered and then went crazy when she heard them coming down the hall. They had a beautiful reunion, we all had dinner at Nama and things are back the way we left them. Here is a picture that I took from Ron’s blog of the girl’s reunion.

Here are the girls all hanging out on Stella’s new bed!

Today I had a massage and Sunny took Ella to a park and met Debby, Toby and Rachel there. Ella had a great time with them and told me that she loved going on the slide and swings. Sunny had a massage after mine and I took Ella to the Crossroads Cafe and we had a bagel and hung out. She was talking up a storm and I was loving every minute of it. We met Becca for pizza tonight and had a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of Ella going to town on her pizza and hanging with Becca.

Here is a movie that I made from our trip to the Central Park Zoo the other day. It’s really short. The video at the end is great – it’s of the polar bear who used to just do laps all the time because he was depressed. I guess they have him on new anti- depression meds. He really put on a show for us.
