Life With Ella

We had a wonderful week full of love and a lot of fun.  Ella spent most of the day on Sunday with Stella and Juliet.  They were away for part of the break and then we were all so busy that Ella didn’t get her time with the Kim/Arena sisters.  Sunday made up for lost time – Ella had a fantastic day on Sunday.  On Sunday night when Ella was falling asleep she told me that she was really happy that she was going back to school.  I love it that she loves school so much.  The first thing that Ella did when we entered the classroom this morning was run up to Ms. Alicia and give her a big hug!  Ella was very excited that she was able to touch a “nice” chicken today during farm and garden and that she planted a seed for a tomato plant.  After school during tree frog treks, Ella touched a bearded dragon and made a flying machine that she was really proud of.  Ballet was great – there were only 2 of them in the class and they were both really focused and into it.  The growler was absent.  After dinner tonight, Stella, Juliet, KJ and Helen came over.   The girls and KJ were hula hooping.  There is some pretty funny hula hoop footage at the end of the ballet video. A hug and kiss for papa before he left on Sunday morning.Big smiles – big love. Beautiful cousins.  I can’t wait to watch these two grow up together. Here are some photos from ballet today.  Ella loved it that they used the barre.Stella and Juliet decided that they were going to do the hula hoop at the same time.  Notice KJ doing his own hula hooping and Ella and Sunny cracking up. Sunny was really cracking up! KJ really wanted to be a part of the fun. Ella has this hysterical way to hula hoop.  She puts her arms in the air.  Watch the video. Ella’s latest/greatest creation.  The sweet hand in the photo is Stella’s…she was adding a flower.
