Today was mostly spent either getting ready for the Giants game or watching the Giants game. We had a really fun video chat in the early afternoon with grandma, papa, AJ and Milo. Ella loved seeing everyone (so did we) but she really loved it when Milo kept walking in and out of the room where the computer is. She kept going, “Oh – there he is again! Hi Milo” and then he would leave and she would say, “Bye Milo – grandma – I know he is going to come back” and then he would come back and she would say, “there he is!”. It was a really sweet game. The Giants game was intense – I think we all stopped breathing for a little while but in the end, they came through and won!!!! We had a few friends over and Ella didn’t really want to watch the game so we let her hang out in our room and watch movies. She watched the Hannah Montana movies and then some other shows. Stella and Juliet came over to deliver a gift to Ella – bath salts that they put together at Pier 39. It was a beautiful rainbow of bath salts. Ella really wanted them to stay but they had to go to see their grandparents. We are going to the SF Zoo with them tomorrow since there is no school. After the game, we decided to take Ella to Pier 39 so she could do some bungee jumping and then we had dinner at the Crab House. It was an exhausting day (thanks to the Giants). I hope we win tomorrow so we can advance to the next round and relax for a few days. Ron took this the other night when Ella spent Friday night with them and we were at the game. They didn’t have a sleepover, but Ella fell asleep over there and Juliet slept in the bed with her. Ella loved it! What a sweet shot. Ella was doing some Giants cheers before the game started. Big smile after bungee jumping. Ella ate an entire order of clams and did it all by herself. She even took the “feet” off the clams herself. This is Ella on a “phone call” with Brickelle. Today, she started pretending that she was getting phone calls. So far, she has spoken to Stella, Juliet and Brickelle.
Go Giants! I hope they win today too. We loved the ichat; need to do it more often. Ella ate an order of clams by herself! Amazing! Love you. Mom
