Life With Ella

Happy New Year to all who celebrate.  I can really use a new year about now.  Maybe we will welcome a new puppy and maybe I will get a new job or start a new career…who knows!  Ella continues to be so happy at school.  It’s a beautiful thing.  I still remember her first day back in 2008 – wow – we have all come a long way!  After school, Ella helped us get ready for Rosh Hashana dinner.  Sunny cooked a delicious dinner – brisket, rice pilaf, broccoli, carrots, Debby brought a wonderful kugel and Becca brought a delicious dessert.  Ella and Jaeden had a pretty good time with each other.  They have very sweet moments and then they have their moments where Jaeden does things to try to push Ella’s buttons and he does exactly that.  The evening was filled with high energy and it ended with Debby and Toby reading Ella the Eloise book.  Ella went to bed pretty late tonight – sorry if she’s exhausted tomorrow Alicia! Ella at school this morning.  That’s Ms. Gladys in the background. Ella and one of her buddies Emmi working on a puzzle this morning. Sweet Ella before her shower. About to light the candles to bring in the New Year. Very serious about lighting the candles. Part of the ritual. Ella drawing and Jaeden right behind her threatening to erase her work. Working on cooperating. Good idea Deb – split the dry erase board in half. Debby, Toby and Becca after a great meal. Love you – happy new year…now it’s time to do the dishes! Ella’s artwork from tonight.  Check out the butterfly.  Ella told us that Alicia found a butterfly (dead) yesterday and the kids got to observe it under the magnifying glass.  I guess it made a pretty cool impression because this is the first time that Ella has drawn a butterfly in such detail.
