Ella waking up - December 09 morning....

November 4th...I'm just now getting a chance to post some pictures from the last month. We had lots of visitors from the aunts and uncle - which was so sweet of you. I'm glad you all got a chance to meet little tootie. It really meant a lot that you all made a trip out here. Rhonda was the last one to visit and she was the one affected by the rock slide that hit I40 in the gorge area. They have shut down the highway and the detour around the mountains adds another 2 hours to the trip. They suspect it will take 4 months to get it cleared up. There's something to be said about living in the flat lands!

This is my last week before I go back to work part time. I'm SO glad I only work part time. Ella has definitely been bonded into my heart in these past 8 weeks and 9 months prior.

I am still watching my diet (no dairy, beans, brocolli, onions, cucumbers etc) and Ella is doing better. I'm so glad. She is 7 1/2 weeks old today. Rhonda brought us a video about the happiest baby on the block and there was some helpful tips of how to deal with fussy baby's.

Hugs from North Carolina...Enjoy the pictures!

Amanda went trick or treating with a couple of her friends. Amanda was dressed as Black Mail...

Happy Halloween

Mommy & her Pumpkin!

Rhonda brought Flatboard Dillon along. If you haven't heard the story, Rhonda was given the responsibility of showing Dillon Uken a good time and taking pictures of him doing things and then sending the pictures back to the actual Dillon Uken. So, here is Flatboard Dillon, Ella and Me.

Dillon and Ella are 2nd cousins? He's the first 2nd cousin to meet her!

Crib time...

She likes just laying in her crib & looking around & up at the mobile.
