Fun Visit!

Mamaw and Papaw Ray, Unlce John, Jessica and Noah got to come up and see the new house, and visit for a weekend! Noah sure is getting big, and Ella loved having him here. We took the kids to the St James Art Fair, and had a great weekend hanging around the house!

Biggest Halloween Party Ever!

Trick or Treating at the Zoo started this weekend, and we braved the first night. Ella was by far the cutest princess there! I guess we're proud of the fact that Ella had no idea what any of the candy was when she got it...she never made it more than a few steps from the candy stop before she was pulling whatever she'd just gotten out of the pumpkin and asking, 'what's this Mommy, what's this Daddy?" Everytime we told her what it was, she smiled and said "Mmmm,,,I like that!"

She was very excited about the props in Candyland!

Ella was in awe of the princesses when we got to Fairytale Land...had to get her picture with Belle!

Bye Bye Bubby.....

Well it's Official...Ella is now without the bubby! We've been working hard lately on getting Ella to be a 'Big' girl and give it up...but she's fought hard to keep it. We decided to tackle it once and for all this weekend, and once the drama ended...she's done great! Enjoy the progression below...it was hilarious! Ella got to take a trip to the toy store and get a new baby doll for her effort, so she was rewarded after her trauma!

More excited about the trip to Toys R US than dropping the bubby in the trash

So far so good......

parting is such sweet sorrow....she did actually reach in and get it back out..

Full Tilt Breakdown....this looks just like it sounded...she howled in despair

BUBBY!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhhh..... the agony!!!!

Not much said about it now...have been 3 nights at bedtime without it and going well...the new babydoll, a Baby Sleeping Bueaty, is now never far away at bedtime.
