Happy Easter!

Last week Ella and I got to watch my baby nephew Luke. Ella had so much fun helping me with him. She made she he always had his binky and she helped hold his bottle when I fed him. I can't believe that she was ever that small! Ella also managed to tear apart the house while I held Luke as he slept. I think she was looking for some attention...

My birthday ended up being on Easter this year. Charley had the day off, so we were able to spend it as a family. We went and got waffles for breakfast and then went to my sister-in-law's church for an Easter service. She also got baptized during the service, so it was neat to get to see that. Then we came home and I climbed in bed and took a nap while Ella and Charley went grocery shopping. We went to Charley's parent's for a yummy ham dinner and then to my parent's for some birthday cake. I think I may have gained about 5 pounds after all the candy and cake I ate! I'm going to do some extra time at the gym this week to try and burn some of those calories.

Ella has been saying some new things lately. One day she was cold and she said, "momma, I so cold!!" Another time she was chugging her juice and after she swallowed it she said, "momma, I so thirsty!!" It just sounds so cute when she says the "so". She also randomly told me that she loved me the other day. I had come home from work and she came over to hug me and said "I yuv you!" Too precious!

Ella has another ear infection. I'm taking her to the doctor this afternoon. The poor thing just can't seem to catch a break from those things!
