Ready to go!
Hi everyone! Thanks for your interest in yet another exciting week of Ella Liss :) Although I guess a better adjective to describe this week would be "somber". Last Tuesday, I was supposed to meet with a dear friend (and former professor of mine at Purdue Cal). He and his wife were going to meet Ella for the first time on Tuesday. Plans were made on Monday for this. I recieved a call Tuesday morning from his wife that she had to cancel our plans that day due to the fact he passed away the night before (suffered a heart attack during an evening nap). Ironically, I was on the phone with her (when he was napping) when he passed, unbeknownst to her. This was very sad news for me knowing I lost a great friend and also knowing he never met Ella. I did email him photos religiously though. He was a tremendous man who was really happy for Mike and I as we were expecting Ella. He was so interested in our new life with Ella. He will sorely be missed. Ella, Mike and I went to his wake on Friday evening.
On a happier note, Mike and I had a good evening out with friends while attending the Humane Society Spring Fling on Saturday evening. My parents (Ella's Grandma and Grandpa Martin) came by to watch her for a few hours. The event was at the Blue Chip Casino. It was a great excuse to get dressed up and the food was amazing.
So excited to have 5 days of sun this week. It was great. Spring is around the corner!
Today, Sunday (3.7.10) my little and my only sister, Sarah had her wedding shower. I can't believe her big day is almost here. Where is time going? Ella accompanied me to the shower. We ran a little late due to Ella filling her pants just as we were going out the door. We definitely went out with a bang today. ;P Since I put her in a little dress, this means I have to take her brace off when I change her so it's time consuming. I do have to mention that I am glad her plumbing is working. ha ha!
We had a great time at the shower. Aunt Sarah was happy Ella came. Ella was one of the highlights of the party. Many thanks to my good friend Tara who held Ella while I helped my sis open her gifts. For the shower, Ella wore a little pink courdoroy dress. She is always cutest in pink in my opinion. Sarah's wedding is April 10th. Can't wait to go dress shopping for Ella for the wedding.
