Anorher Month

My Sophie is 5 months old. My heart breaks because she is growing right in front of me and there is not a darn thing I can do about it. She is cutting her two bottom teeth which is wayyyy earlier than my other two got their first teeth. She has been so crabby and it has been rough but the last few days have been better. I added some pictures.

BLAHHHHHHGG...

My friend Mandy has it right. Much seems to always be happening but the desire to get it all recorded on the ol' blog is not there. I want to be superwoman and do it all and it is very frustrating that I am not and I cannot.

Spring Skiing!

Its Spring!

Blogging? Who has time for blogging? Not me as it is spring and everything is green and lovely!

Maybe later....

Busy...Sitting?

Busy, busy, busy I have been. Not in the usual way but in the way of holding my new babe and making sure she is completely happy. Time is going by so fast and I am thrilled that it is finally March! Yeah! The two most wretched months of the year are over and that means spring is almost here. Already the tulips are peeking up through the ground and my globe willow is starting to green up even if its only a little. Its also time to prune the roses. Again. They grow fast. My baby is crying and not completely happy so I have to go. No more writing about my plants!

She's Been Found!

In December we noticed that Ella's Minnie Mouse was missing and sent this email out a week later:

Dear Friends and Family,

We have lost a dear family member and are hoping you can help us locate her. She has been missing for approximately two months and believe she may be in one of your houses. We ask that you please check your house and kids toys to see if she has merely been overlooked. She was a birthday gift from Build A Bear at Disneyland and Ella is wondering what happened to her. Here are the stats:

Her Name: Minnie Mouse

Description: She's a mouse. She was last seen wearing a pinkish-purple ballerina outfit that has large wings attached to the back. She may or may not be wearing white underpants. She wears yellow shoes with red bows, white gloves on her hands and always wears a large red bow with white polka dots on her head. She stands about 20 inches tall and when her arm is squeezed she makes the sound a magic wand would make.

We are pretty positive she is at someone's house and they just don't know it so please look and ask your kids. If you know anything please respond to this email or call us.

Thanks,

Ella Grace

and Rochelle

We are happy to report that Minnie has been found! Minnie has been found! Yesterday, much to the delight of little Ella, she was found at the bottom of the dress up box in the basement. We had previously searched there but obviously not good enough. Ella was all giddy and was so excited to have her back and have her meet her newest build a bear. The mystery is solved and now we can sleep at night. It's been nothing but stress, stress, stress worrying about poor little Minnie and if she was safe, making good choices, and if she would ever come back. So happy to say she is back.

My New Addiction

So I finally did it. I joined facebook and now I am addicted leaving my poor little blog so lonely and forlorn. It is just to darn fun to see what all those people that I have not seen or heard from for forever are up to! Even ones that I don't really recall liking that much are interesting to me. Who knew?

Here is a picture of my cute Soph...I kept saying the nursery rhyme "Bye Baby Bunting" over and over to her. She looked so cute I couldn't help it. We went for a little walk today in the lovely sunshine.

Daddy's gone a hunting
To catch a little rabbit skin
