Just My Luck
I scheduled to have Kellynn and Ella's pictures made tomorrow. Specifically, Ella's - for her "One Year" photo. We planned to do outdoor photos, with the girls in sundresses and Spring flowers. I had this magical vision of capturing my girls in the essence of Spring - dancing through the meadow, a Spring breeze blowing their golden curls... So, what happens today? Ella literally takes a nose dive into the grass while playing in the yard. She has scratches all over her face! Then Kellynn trips during our afternoon walk and slides across the asphalt road like she's on a "Slip N Slide." She has road rash on both arms and removed the skin from both knees. JOY! Am I rescheduling? NO! The photographer should have Photo Shop, right?!

Again...Where do I begin?!
Let's start with Ella! She turned 11 months old 2 weeks ago! She is pretty much walking all over the place! She still "cruises" on the furniture, walls, etc. - but gets brave and takes off across the room whenever she pleases. Most of the time, her little legs won't take her as fast as she wants to move, so she ends up falling half way across the room. Thanks to her big sister, Ella "talks" non-stop! She has added "Mommy," "Daddy," and "Oreo" to her vocabulary (Oreo is MawMaw's dog). I mentioned last month that she prefers to self feed. She has "graduated" to actually biting pieces off and chewing her food into small pieces. She had her first chicken nugget this weekend at the beach (more on that later). In two weeks, she will be one year old!
Now, for my BIG girl! Kellynn went to Kindergarten registration to sign up for school next year. I can't believe my "first baby" is going to school. (She makes me call her my "first baby" because she's adament about NOT being a baby. She reminds me that ELLA is the baby!) She also has her first wiggly tooth! She has been so excited about the possibilty of the Tooth Fairy coming! I catch her constantly wiggling that tooth. She asked me tonight what happens to baby teeth after they fall out. I sensed a little hesitation about loosing the tooth. It could possibly be my fault since I brought home a children's "Weekly Reader" about loosing baby teeth. It had a diagram of a tooth. She wanted to know what the "red" part was (pulp), and asked if her tooth would bleed. I told her it might, but just a little. And that the Tooth Fairy keeps baby teeth that fall out - to give to new babies. She said she was, "okay with that."
And on a famiy note...We went to Myrtle Beach this weekend. Kevin wanted to go to a car show that is hosted there every year. This was our first time attending. I have a feeling we will be going every year now. We had a great time! Kevin went to the car show on both Friday and Saturday. Of course, he had to leave early in the morning so he didn't miss a single thing! I, on the other hand, didn't need to be there both days - and definitly didn't need to wake up at the crack of dawn on my mini-vacation! After sleeping in both days, I went shopping at the new mall on Friday with the "girls" (my girly crew, MawMaw, Kevin's Aunt Judy, cousin Jennifer and her children). We did some more shopping on Saturday and then headed over to the car show for the last couple of hours.

HELP!
Now it's MY turn! I get everyone well, and now I am sick! I have Laryngitis and an achiness in my back. It looks like I'm getting a chest cold. Luckily, I'm taking an antibiotic, so I hope this doesn't last too long!Labels: Family Fun

Where Do I Begin?
Let's see...January 10th - I turned 34! I didn't do anything special for my birthday this year. I shared my day with my family, the ones I love. That made it a great day.
January 29th - K bugg turned 5! She had a small party at Chuck E. Cheese with just the family. The rest of her "birthday" was spent at Ski Beech in the mountains. She took skiing lessons for two days, and became a pro by the end of our trip. She skis faster than ME! We hope to take her back at least one more time before the season is over.
January 30th - Ella turned 10 months old! She is cruising all over the place! She has also taken a step or two on her own. She says "ma ma," "da da," "kitty," "no no," and "uh oh" when she falls down. She feeds herself table food and refuses to allow any help during this time. Her favorite toy is the telephone and often pretends to talk on the cell phone. She also loves to play with her big sister! Unfortunately, her big sister doesn't always have time for her these days!
