Mid October?!

Wow!  Time has really gotten away from me, I truly don't know how it is possible that it is October 11th already!  I don't even have my Halloween decorations out yet and I love them almost more than my Christmas decorations!

We went home this last weekend for Erica and Trevor's wedding.  Ella did really great in the car, but it totally threw off her sleep schedule, we had a couple of rough nights, but she seems to be getting back into her nice routine.  I don't know if we will ever leave home again - at least not until we go home in January!

It was a great weekend because Ella finally to meet her cousin Lilly and Auntie Jen and Uncle Ramon!  She also got to see her cousin Caleb, Auntie Kristin and Uncle Jamal.  For my family who doesn't know these babies are all within 7 weeks of each other, so it was a lot of fun.  We had a nice time at the wedding and got to spend time with both our families so all in all it was a success!

The wedding also happened to fall on our 5th wedding anniversary!  So we had a nice time remember our own special day :)

Also, Ella is a rolling over machine these days!  BUT, she doesn't know how to roll from her belly to her back.  So she gets frustrated and we play a constant game of her rolling over and then me rolling her back :)

Vernors

Yesterday Nick was really sick, not sure if it was food poisoning or a 24 hour bug, but he seems to be doing better today.

Anyway, he asked me to pick him up some ginger ale and I actully found Vernors!  But they only had diet, and it was cold (apparently when you are sick warm Vernors is better?).  I brought it home and he said it was better than any medicine.  I'm sure any Michigander who likes pop (aka, not me - I don't get it) can relate. :)


He wasn't too happy about it, but we managed to keep this little munchkin away from Daddy for a day, so hopefully she will stay healthy.  She also rolled over THREE times yesterday!

2 days until Michigan!

Hi Great Grandpa!

Ella was babbling away yesterday... all with her fist in her mouth!
