Weekly Update

Since I've been back to work it's been harder for me to find time to take pictures and blog. I love doing our blog, so I've set a goal to update at least once a week. This is what we've been up to last week...

Ella and her kitty

She loves her kitty and if you know my personal feelings about cats... it's quite funny.

Warning... graphic images below

We gave Ella some prunes to help with her constipation issues and this happened within ten minutes. 

The prunes worked so well that we had to cut off her onesie. Somehow I got lucky and Mark took the lead on this one. I only had to come in for backup, when more then two hands were needed.

 

Enjoying some last sunshine of summer

Ella is sooo busy now. She is trying to climb and crawl up on everything.

Hi People!

 

My little foamy smurf!

Ella's cousin Buckley. He is staying with my parents while Ben and Tamisha are on a European Holiday.

We have been busy cheering on our #5 Ducks!

Grandma Cindy got Ella a pair of Christmas jammies. She fell asleep modeling them while holding her favorite kitty!

This morning Ella had her first trip to a bar.

Yes.... We had a baby in a bar!!

 

As you can see, she was trilled to be there!

Back to School

School started last Wednesday. I have 22 adorable first graders, 11 boys and 11 girls. I have high expectations that is going to be a great class. I have already come home with some pretty funny stories for Mark. Who knew our bulldog Mascot could be sooo scary!

Here are a few shots of my classroom before the kids came on Wednesday.

My principal asked for a picture of myself reading for a back to school slide show. 

This picture got a big "Awe" from all the students.

One Last Time

On Sunday night, we headed down to Cottage Grove Lake for one last dinner and campfire. We won't be back to that lake because of the new law prohibiting alcohol on the lake and in the campground. What's camping without a couple of beers? I have a feeling that this law won't be around forever, but for now we are finding a new place to go! Thanks Eichners and Wescotts for all the years of fun and great memories at the lake!

See ya Cottage Grove!
