Turtles in the Pool

The weather is getting warmer here in So Cal. We're enjoying our little patio out front. Ella has lots of fun playing in her pool while Jonah and I work on our tans. Not much else new is happening in our lives. We are enjoying being able to have a routine and just be a family without the concerns of not being together. Our life out here in So Cal remains another 12 months and we're thoroughly excited about our adventures after this. We're seriously considering permanent cold weather up in Michigan for our future!! :) We'll be heading that way sooner though this upcoming August for a nice week visit, so we'll be looking forward to visiting with family and friends during that time with another nice week stop in Tennessee along the way. I know that Ella is missing all of her grandparents and looking forward to staying with them!!

Quick Ella update... at this moment Ella is about to use some headphones to listen to Jonah's ipod. She talks constantly and with a little help from Mom and Dad's interpretations, she is very understandable. ;) Her favorite toys right now involve playing house; anything that has to do with babies is very interesting to her. We've been counting and singing lots of songs. Her brain is pretty much a sponge and it's crazy how quickly she picks up on everything. I've a strong feeling that potty training is in our midst. We'll see how that goes. ;) Other than that, she's the absolute joy of our lives and so much fun (even with the temper tantrums)!!!! 

Real quick... I've started a bow business!! I've opened an ebay store online: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Mommadorn2CuteBoutique

Pretty much if you know someone that is interested in a custom order of bows for their little one, just have them contact me.

Another random... Ella loves turtles and loves to point them out to everyone especially when they're on her outfit. :)
