It's that time again. Time to update the blog. It's a total pain, but I love you all so that's why I do it. I hope you appreciate it!
November was a great month. Dusty was on neurology and had a FANTASTIC schedule (7:30-5ish). It was so great to have him home at a decent hour!
In the middle of the month, Megan, James, and McKenna came to Denver for a visit. It was so great to have everyone there. I love having family around! Megan and I saw Wicked, which was incredible, and Dusty babysat, which was also incredible. He's the BEST! Two days later we all (Dusty, Ella, Megan, James, and McKenna) went to my ultrasound appointment where we found out we're going to have another girl! We are SO excited to have Alexa Louise (99% settled on the name) join our family. I know how close I am to my sisters, and I am so happy for Ella and Lexie to have that, too! And I'm excited about dressing them up in matching outfits!
Over Thanksgiving, we were able to go to Cody for 10 days. It was so great to see everyone, and the time always flies when we're there. We had two Thanksgivings and one Christmas, so it was a busy time!
Dusty got me a new camera for Christmas, so I've literally taken 2000 shots in the past two months...it's so easy to do when your camera isn't a dinosaur. I'll try to self-edit and only post the best ones, but it's going to be a challenge!
One of the first five pictures with my new camera. I LOVE it!
Same day...more than 100 shots later. I love my girls!
Now, I have to tell a story about the next picture. Ella is a wonderful little girl. She's also a naughty little girl. One day, I put her down for a nap without pants. That was the last day I put her down without pants because:
Yes. That is pee. All over the crib bedding (bumper, sheet, blankets, and stuffed bunny). I love how she tossed the diaper to the side. Clearly she had no need for it when she could just relieve herself in her bed.
Mama's naughty jailbird.
When Megan and McKenna were in town, we went to Bass Pro Shops to have Ella's and James's pictures taken with Santa. It wasn't a very popular idea:
But Ella did love the chair she found in the store. We had to get it for her for Christmas.
Ella loves wearing clothing that doesn't belong to her. Dad's shoes:
Dad's hat:
And Aunt Megan's heels. She wore these puppies all over the kitchen. I think she was so proud of how beautiful she was wearing grown-up heels!
When we were in Cody, Ella and her cousin Kerrigan got to play together. Ella loved sitting at this little table.
And I hate to do this, but it's almost 11:30 and I'm pregnant and exhausted. I'll try to add more tomorrow!
