Well, my mom just pulled out of the drive-way a little bit ago….Ella seemed okay with her leaving, but did cry when she drove down the road (she was sleepy so that didn’t help, but she went right down for a nap–Grandma wore her out!). It was a great visit with my mom. There’s just [...]
This would be the most stressful week of the year if I were still teaching in Warsaw. I always reflect on what I would be doing in my classroom every once and awhile and hit me that it’s parent/teacher conference week. I dreaded getting ready for it and even had to pray my way through [...]
I can’t believe so much has happened in the last four days. Thomas and Bethany Hall came to visit us on Thursday and Friday of this week. It was so refreshing to see them–Ella didn’t even miss a beat when they walked in the door! She remembered them and looked happy to see them almost [...]
Today, Ella had her first well-baby check-up with her new pediatrician, Dr. Faris. I like him a lot. We had a family practice doctor before who was fine, but this guy gave me more information than I ever learned all last year because, obviously, pediatrics are his expertise.

Tonight after dinner and her bath, Ella was wondering around the living room while her Daddy was watching tv. I eventually came in (after cleaning up the supper dishes) and sat on the floor with her. She played with both of us, every now and then coming up to one of us and laying her [...]
I have to tell my cute Ella story that happened this afternoon. Some background info first, though: Ella likes to help Mommy clean her high chair tray when she is done with her meal. She also likes to wash the entire bath tub with her washcloth during bath time. She washes all of her toys, [...]
Those of you who are avid stevansheets.com fans know what happened this weekend, but my perspective is slightly different, I’m sure!:-) I won’t tell you the play by play, but here are a few things worth mentioning. Becky French and I have been e-mailing (well messaging on Facebook so Stevan couldn’t read my e-mail, actually) [...]
She saw apples on the counter yesterday and kept pointing to them and saying, “Apple!” I finally relented and handed her one. She was so excited. Though juice was oozing out all over her, she had so much fun eating it all by herself. More pictures of Ella’s apple eating here.
My friend, Jenn, had a precious baby girl last month. Congratulations, Alex and Jenn! Hopefully, Ella and Evalie can meet someday and play together. Ella can show her the ropes!
