Busy!

We have been so busy lately. Just adjusting to Mark's new schedule. He is working an after-school program that helps at risk kids. Every night during the week he works until 7. The long day is exhausting for all of us. When he gets home Ella tries her hardest to stay awake. She kicks and punches but, sleep always wins.

Next week is Ella's 3 month birthday!! I can't believe how quick 3 months has gone by. She is getting so big. I measured her today and she is almost 24 inches. Amazing. She has been trying SO hard to roll over lately. She is so close!! She will get half way and then SCREAM! She gets so frustrated - she is so much like me... scary! I hope soon I'll be posting a video of Ella rolling over!! :)

Today I baked a "test" cake. I'm getting ready for Ella's baptism (2 week from tomorrow!!!) I'm going to be making a Pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate buttercream fondant. Should be interesting. The cake and frosting are delicious but I'm still unsure about the fondant. It is very tasty but it is not as hard as I thought it would be. I put it in the fridge for the night. I think I'm going to cut it into a football and bring it to fantasy football tomorrow. BTW - Last week I came in second place in our league!! I like to take all the credit but Mark is really the one doing all the work. If I win - he wins! :)

I've had the itch to do some scrap booking. I am so far behind on Ella's Book. I made a few pages yesterday. Check them out:

The text says "Daddy, I may find my Prince Charming - but you'll always be my King"

Ella's first official picture (I hate it) footprints, bracelets, and crib card

Ella's First Day Ella's Second Day On her way home! It was 105degrees and our air conditioning was broke. Thankfully Aunt Paula saved us and we stayed there until it was fixed!
