So Long Buddy!


This is Buddy on his new bed at his new home.

Well, I did it! I gave Buddy to an older couple on Monday night. I've been getting updates on a regular basis, and he is really adjusting quite well. They are spoiling him rotten. It makes me very happy knowing this! We just don't have the time to give him the attention he needs. At his new home he's got someone with him all day. I'm really happy it worked out. It's been much quieter around the house without the little guy barking and running circles. It's actually quite nice. We still have our other two dogs. We are planning on trying to spend more time with them and getting them on a regular walk schedule.
Grandpa Peper took Ella to the doctor yesterday because of a rash that she has in her diaper area. She weighs 22 pounds 13 ounces. What a big girl! She was very fussy last night and ended up having to sleep with me. I'm guessing more teeth are coming through... I was able to tuck her in her crib at 5 AM when I woke up to go to the gym. It's nice to snuggle with her every now and then like I did last night.
Auntie Teresa is taking Ella to gymnastics today for the first time. I'm very interested to hear how she does. I know she's going to have a blast. : )

I've Been Pretty Bad

At keeping the blog up to date. School, work and Ella consume my life! This past weekend Ella was extremely grumpy and fussy. She would wake up in the middle of the night screaming at the top of her lungs. Sunday night she had to come sleep in bed with me. She has been getting teeth in like crazy which has to be super uncomfortable for her. I'm happy to say that she has slept through the night the past two nights. Maybe she's done getting her teeth in for now. The week has gone by quickly due to the holiday last Monday. It was so nice to only have my Anatomy class one day this week. I'm already a third of the way into the semester. I passed my first test, thank God! I have a lab exam on Monday and a Physiology exam on Tuesday. There goes my weekend! Charley and I have made the decision to give one of our three dogs to a loving family. He is currently on a "trial" run right now with one of Julia's friends. We are unable to give him the love and attention that he needs. It's going to be hard to part with him, but I know it is for the best. At this time in our lives we just don't have enough time. Hopefully everything works out with this family, if not, I will just have to find someone else. I will post some new pictures either tonight or tomorrow. I tried to last night, but the computer was being dumb. Anyway, happy Friday! Bring on the weekend!

I know it's a little late....












Not much to report this week... Just been a little busy with school and such. Ella has been teething pretty bad this past week. That is the only time that she won't sleep. She usually will sleep all night. We had a rough night a few nights ago. So hard to get up at 5 AM to go work out after being up all night with my baby! We don't have much planned this weekend. Probably will just be studying and hanging out at home. I have Monday off from work and school. We will have a fun family day on that day. Can't wait!

Ella is into Everything!



















Ella is still climbing into things such as her toy box and walker. She is also improving on her walking skills. She was having trouble walking in shoes, but is now more comfortable walking with them on. I had a very busy weekend studying for my Anatomy class, going on a date with Charley and to dinner and a movie with my sisters. It was a great weekend, but went by too fast. Time for some more studying!
