Annoying!!!!

Under Arlington there is a ton of natural gas. So all over Arlington 2 years ago people were making deals with their mineral rights. We still lived in the apartments and when we bought the house the mineral rights stayed with the previous owners. They started laying the pipes down behind us and it is so extremely annoying and loud. It woke Ella up all day. So tonight she is so tired... Poor thing.

Boring... Boring

Friday was kind of boring for us. Everyday this week I had tasks I needed to complete but Friday I didn't have any. We laid in bed and watched Annie.





Later in the evening we went to Mark's school dance. Uneventful but it was time with Mark!!

Sleep My Princess, Sleep

Today Ella took a 4 hour nap woke up, and for the next 2 hours, played, ate dinner, played and went back to bed for the night (yes, the entire night). I think all of the craziness of the past few weeks is catching up with her. Good news is, she eis napping so well in her crib. One of my New Years Resolutions was to get her on a nap schedule. So far, so good.





Girl loves her toes. Ella is pulling off her socks to get to her toes.


Then the Office came on and everything stopped so Ella could watch the opening credits.

Better Day!

Today was a much better day for Miss Ella. We got a lot done. We grocery shopped, got the car washed, cleaned the dining room, went to the bank, cooked dinner and got some work done!! And Ella was in bed by 9 (well, I hope she stays... Haha. As I was typing I heard her laugh. She must read my thoughts) Very eventful! : )





Ella playing with Nola's paws. Nola is so good!


Getting ready to grocery shop!

A Picture A Day!

My mom suggested I blog a picture a day. Since we live so far away she doesn't want to miss out on anything!


We'll see how long this lasts.

Today was not a good day for Ella. She has spent most of the day fussing. I think is the adjustment to being home, the hour time change, and missing having family around all the time. Poor girl!


During one of Ella's VERY shorts naps inrearranged Ella's bedroom. Don't worry, she was napping in the living room. I did not move the crib with Ella in it! ;-)
