Life With Ella

One of the problems with taking lots of pictures and documenting some great times for me is that I have to be able to record what I need to do the night of.  I am just finishing my last of 3 entries from tonight.  I am really tired but want to stay current.  Sunny had to leave super early this morning to go back to SF for work.  We love you and miss you mommy/Sunny.  Hope the week is great for you and that you have a lot of fun. We will see you on Sunday.  Today we woke up, drove into NY and met up with Stella, Juliet, KJ and Helen at Sweetie Pie.  It was so cool to watch the girls think about how cool it was to be together in NY.  The girls had a great lunch…grilled cheese, hamburgers,  french fries, tater tots, strawberries and creme, mini ice cream cones and cookies dipped in hot fudge.  Wow!  After the “healthy” lunch, we walked to Washington Square Park.  The big kid’s park was being renovated so we had to figure out another plan.  We went over to AJ and Michael’s place for a pit stop and KJ and Milo played together…very cute.  The girls went about their business playing their usual games…doctor, teacher, and who knows what else.  They left to go to the Met and then  my mom, Ella and I waited for Michael to come home so that we could go meet my dad back in NJ.  We went back at around 6:00, had leftovers and then my dad wanted to take Ella toy shopping.  He really wanted to take her to FAO Schwartz, but logistically it didn’t work out so they went to Toys R Us.  Ella has never been to a Toys R Us so I didn’t think it would have mattered to her.  She picked out a few really tacky toys but they made her so happy.  Now everyone is home sleeping except me.  I will be sleeping as soon as I finish this entry.Ella trying to help Milo learn how to crawl.The girls at Sweetie Pie.  I had a lot of fun with the mirrored ceiling.Everyone did a great job crossing the streets and sticking together.  They were so happy walking through NYC together! In front of One Fifth Avenue…the place in Annie where the orphans realized that they had a long way to go to find Annie!KJ and Milo had a really great time playing with each other. Milo looking very cute in black. We went to a little kid’s park with Milo and his friend Luna.  Ella had fun on the little kid stuff. Milo’s little buddy Luna on her very first swing!Looks like Milo is an expert swinger!  He didn’t stop smiling. Grandma and Ella – they were under the arch at Washington Square Park but the far away picture was kind of pointless because you couldn’t really see them.We were walking back from the park, and this woman was planting these amazing flowers around the trees.  Ella was watching with awe.  She gave Ella one of the flowers that broke off.  We put it in a bottle of water right away.  Wait and see what it looks like today! Grandma and Milo during Milo’s favorite time of the day…eating time!This whole thing just melts my heart…Ella jumping down the steps.  She loves this sport.
