I thought that all of you experiencing cold weather would love the fact that I'm rubbing in how warm it is in sunny California. Haha. Yes, we've made it safely home finally. It was a very stressful trip back home, but we recovered. My sister, Michelle, (bottom picture) came to visit Ella & I last weekend. Unfortunately, we were sick the entire time that she was here. Sorry Sis! We had fun though & she was such a big help. :O) Now that we've recuperated & gotten the house orgainzed with all of Ella's baby items, we're starting a routine & waiting for Jonah to come home. He'll be home in approximately 6 weeks from today! YAY!!
Ella is doing great. She is conquering sitting up by herself. However, she loves to be on her tummy now & is trying to crawl. I'm hoping she'll wait at least until Jonah gets home, however, she already knows how to scoot to where she wants to be, so baby proofing has already started in our household. She eats 2 solid foods a day (usually a fruit in the morning & a veggie/carb at night). She seems to enjoy all fruits, carrots, & sweet potatoes. She's not too thrilled about the green veggies. Haha. On February 7th Ella turned 6 months old. She has her well baby check up in less than 2 weeks where she'll be getting her shots again. She's finally sleeping in her own room at night which is a blessing. I was hoping that this would be accomplished before Jonah got home. She's such a Sweetie & I can't wait for her daddy to finally be home to be with her & me too of course! :O) Love you Jonah!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers, especially for Jonah. I'll keep you up to date on when he'll be arriving home. We are still planning to fly up to Michigan sometime in mid April to be able to visit with family & friends. Thanks again for all your love & support. ~EMD
I forgot to mention: Jonah & I have been married for 1 year now! It's been a crazy one that's for sure, but we truly have been blessed & we can't wait to celebrate it together asap. :O) Also, Ella has 2 teeth that have decided to come in on her bottom gums. They look like they'll grow out just a little more; I'll try & get a good photo once this happens. This might explain all the extra fussiness/drooling. Haha.

Ella, you look so grown up sitting up by yourself! Grandma Dawn is coming to see you soon! 70 degrees and sunshine sounds pretty good about now since it is still cold and snowy in Michigan. Another 9 inches predicted in the next 24 hrs. Happy Valentine's day to all three of you! I love you.
It was so great to see some new pictures of Ms. Ella. I wish that I could be in sunny CA with you. But April is coming soon ;)
Elizabeth I meant to thank you for the fun necklace you made. I love it! And Aylah loves her new Disney books too.
Love you all and so glad that you are feeling better.
