We're Alive!

Just wanted to let you all know, we're not dead. In fact, we're so busy living life, I'm having trouble finding time to write about it :-) Also, Chris was out of town for a week and I didn't want to say that on my blog in case any psycho stalker was reading and was going to come to my house. Really, it's just been a very busy couple weeks so I have lots of updating to do as soon as I make some time. One quick story though before I crash for the night...

I took Ella to get a flu shot on Friday and she was super brave and didn't shed a single tear. I was SO proud of how mature she was about "needing to get a little poke with some medicine in it." However, she didn't fail to crack me and the nurse up...

Nurse: Ok, we're ready, Mom can you hold her?
Me: Ok Ella, do you want to have the poke in this leg or this leg (pointing to her right, then left leg)
Ella: ummmm....how about (long pause, then an "aha" moment)...your leg!

She seemed very proud of herself for this suggestion but alas, the nurse picked a leg and Ella barely flinched. So brave!
