Ella woke up at 7:15 this morning in a great mood…too bad we were sleeping. I actually took her into bed with me to watch Diego while mommy got ready to go to the gym. We’re going to have to teach Ella something about sleeping in for at least one hour longer on the weekends. When we finally made it downstairs, Ella really wanted to draw on her dry erase board. I left her over there for a while and then Ella called me over. She said, “I drew a peacock, a shark and a whale. What do you think of them mama?” I told her that she did a great job – especially on the whale. Her drawings are sort of starting to look like what she plans on!
We ate breakfast and played around and then Debby and Toby came over for a visit. I left a few minutes after they came over to go get a massage, but Ella, mommy, Debby and Toby took advantage of King Street being closed by our house and the ballpark and joined in with a little street fair thing they were having. They had lunch at Maria’s and played around on the different things that were out there. I came home and we went to the little park behind the ballpark. Ella took her shoes off and played in the sand again. I wonder what would happen if we took her on another trip to a beautiful beach. It was a pretty low key weekend. Seems like Ella needed it – I think we did too. We’re all still adjusting to our new schedule.

Ella was very busy with her snow-cone.
I love the rain boots and tutu and the concentration on the drawings. Love you. Mom
