Family

My poor daycare provider was still sick on Monday. Bless her heart, she opened daycare but got sick just as Ella and I got there. I wished her the best and took Ella with me to drop off Elizabeth at school. Thankfully my boss is very understanding and he let me work half the day from home. Ella doesn't understand why Mom is at the computer so I decided to hang with her in the morning and work in the afternoon while she was napping. It worked out pretty well. She ended up watching Mulan 2. I know... what a change. But, she had already watched Mulan 1 in the morning. Here she is wrapped up in her "Mommom" blanket. She calls Grandma Jo "Mommom" and she made both of the girls beautiful quilts. They both cherish them.




Thankfully Beth was well enough to open daycare on Tuesday.

I dropped the girls off and went to work. After work I picked up the girls and we went to help Dad out. He had lost one of his keys. We found it and then Elizabeth made herself a PB and J sandwich and I made one for Ella. Then the girls and Dad had ice cream together. We headed for home about 8.

The night before Ella had slept with me and had an overflow situation with the pull up. So, while I was making my bed the girls played in Elizabeth's room. I heard giggles and then Mom, come see. So, I did.







I swear I had nothing to do with it. They both were taking turns going in the drawers on the bottom of Elizabeth's bunk bed.

Then Elizabeth was finally able to talk Ella into sleeping with her last night. They both were on the top bunk with their blankets and special items. Elizabeth was reading to Ella from a book she knows very well. Ella was pretending to read too. I was in my room listening.



Pretty soon it was lights out. After a while Elizabeth came down and Ella was trying to follow. I went in and Elizabeth said, Mom, Ella has to sleep in her own room, she keeps kicking me. Oh Well... they tried!

Prayers continue to go out to the Children of China - the funds are coming in and Half The Sky is so appreciative.

My thoughts and prayers go out to my cousin Scott, his wife Jen and their entire family. They have had an enormous loss but their strength and faith has gotten them through so far. May they continue to lean on each other through their hard time.
