Diaper Rash

Sorry its been awhile again. This has been a busy week for me, I've been working more hours and Ella has had diaper rash. So Ella has been going commando as much as she can and I don't necessarily want to leave her unattended. She also has been waking in the middle of the night a couple times, which makes me even more tired. It's a lot harder to catch up on sleep after night shifts when I can't even get a good night sleep. But, its all worth it for my little one. Whatever she needs, mommy will do. So the cold has finally hit us here in Columbus. It is even blustery, reminds me so much of ND. IT SUCKS! But it is almost Thanksgiving so its about time it turns cold. Not much planned for Thanksgiving here, I have to work from 7-5 on Thanksgiving day so Evan and Ella are coming over to the house and having dinner with us. At least we get a good meal and I don't have to cook. ;o)Then on Friday we are heading to Cleveland for the weekend to go to a Cleveland Cavaliars game and tour the city a little. Basically just get away for awhile. Hope all is well with everyone. Stay warm and Happy Thanksgiving!

2nd week of NOV.

Can't believe its already the middle of Nov., Christmas will be here before we know it. Which is ok, because we get to come home. That also means I have to find time to shop. Although, Evan and I will be going to Indianapolis the second week in Dec. for the entire week for Evan's work. So, I think Ella and I will have lots of time to shop. So, not much has been happening here. I have been working lots this week so have been pretty tired. Last night Evan and I got a couples massage. It was extremely relaxing. There is a spa at our gym so Ella went to the child care center while we got our massage. Ella has been rolling around like crazy, no crawling yet but she sure knows how to get where she wants to go. She also sits up real well by herself and has been smiling on cue to the camera, as you can tell by the cute smiles we have caught lately. Hope everyone is getting in the Christmas spirit!

Grandma Donna's Gone :o(

So mom just flew out today, I miss her lots already. We had a good time, started Christmas shopping already. Mom helped get our house ready for the cold, put up plastic on the windows. It was actually kind of difficult for us, but we had fun doing it. Mom was a wonderful grandma and watched Ella on Sunday so that Evan and I could go to Cleveland for a Browns football game. We had a good day away from Ella and grandma thoughouly enjoyed her day with her grandaughter. So the picture with her in the sink was grandma's idea, but she really liked it. Gas as you can see is only $1.93 here, we are so ecstatic about it. Hopefully, it will stay like this for awhile. We also got Ella's 6 months pictures taken, I don't believe they are online yet but when and if they are, I will let you all know. As you can see she was a kitty for Halloween, it didn't last long though. Friday (Halloween) we went shopping all day at an outlet mall so she was extremely tired when we got home. She was in bed by 8:30! Hope everyone enjoyed Halloween, we were lucky to have grandma here for Ella's first Halloween. Before long it will be Christmas and we will be home for the holidays. Can't Wait! Almost forgot to mention, we bought a new car. It's a 2008 Ford Edge. Evan is extremely happy since that will be his new wheels.
