Staying busy!

Sorry. No new pictures of Ella on this post. But I did find this cute picture of Ben with his brother and sister and it's just as entertaining! Incase you don't know Ben is the youngest of the three kids.

The reason I don't have any new pictures of Ella is because Ben has the camera in his truck, which is at his work right now. But guess what.... Ben's not at work. Him and 10 other Coasties are in Burbank at the moment taping The Price is Right! Keep your fingers crossed that Ben will get called up, and win us a new car, boat, or heck even a couple grand would be nice! I will keep you guys informed when the show will actually air.

Ella has had an exciting couple of days as well. For the past week she has been trying hard to crawl. But yesterday was the first time she actually got some distance under her belt. My keys were her inspiration to move. She does a variation of a comando crawl. She hasn't figured out that she can push through her arms and legs at the same time so she lurches and scoots. We got it on video so maybe tommorrow Ben will post it online. She did at least 2 or 3 laps in the living room.

And today was a big step for me. I got out of my comfort zone and joined a mothers play group. I took Ella out of the house during her usually nap time, to meet a bunch of strangers! So that is two scary scenarios right there,1) Ella not taking a nap, and 2) meeting over a dozen strangers and their kids all at once. But Ella did surprisingly well. We didn't have one break down. And I'm excited to get more involved with the mothers club, not just for the social interaction but to get me out of my typical routine. Routine is good most days because thats how you make time to get things done, but too much routine leads to boredom. And I don't want my time with Ella to ever get boring. So this is our chance to meet new friends and experince things that we wouldn't normally experience if it was just her and I.

Well that's all for now. We will post some pictures and videos soon Im sure since Ella is getting big and doing somthing new everyday!
