Actually, I do have a few creative ideas for posts but they haven't come to fruition yet thanks to a busy weekend and a clouded head. Unfortunately, Andrew's dad was admitted to the hospital for a heart attack but is doing much better now. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
Ella is super close to taking her first steps so I've been keeping my camera on hand... yes, even more than usual. Here are a few fresh pictures of the girlies over the weekend.




BTW, I think we're finally starting to get rid of the sickies in our house. *Knock on wood!* Oh, and the paci is GONE. Adelyn has been suffering from terrible coughing fits over the last couple weeks and we convinced her that the pacifier wasn't helping. Today, I gave her money to put in her purse and told her that she could buy her own pack of gum since she is a big girl now who doesn't need her paci. OMG- I can't even begin to explain to you just how cute the moment was in Target tonight. Even a random lady in front of us gave Adelyn a $ bill to pay for her gum for being such a big girl after overhearing our story. Wasn't that sweet?! The look on Adelyn's face was so priceless... like she was so proud and grown up as she made her first purchase. Tonight, she proclaimed, "Paci makes me sick!" as she chewed on her 'big girl' gum. And she didn't even fall asleep with the gum in her mouth... or in her belly for that matter. I'm SO proud of her accomplishment. Now, if I can only convince her that pooping in her pants is not cool....
