Ella getting ready to go see Bardot...

Another week in the life of Baby Ella comes to an end! So much going on this week. We said our sad, sad goodbyes (or as we like to say, "see you soons") to Bardot and her family on Wednesday. They moved to California this week due Wade (Bardot's husband) being stationed there from his orders from the Marine Corp. We will miss them dearly. Bardot was Ella's favorite and Ella was Bardot's "little baby girl". She called Ella "her" baby girl because she has two (very sweet) little boys, Dakota (6) and Lincoln (3).

Lincoln absolutely adored Ella. For me, it was sad to see him say goodbye to her. Ella will miss her Miss Bardot's big hugs, songs and smiling face. I will miss our great times hanging out around here and so much more! We can't wait to visit them in sunny, CA. Bardot can't wait to take little E to Disneyland when she is a little older.

Wednesday we went out to dinner with Mike's fellow teachers for a friendly gathering. Ella came along and was the center of attention as she met them for the first time. On Friday, Aunt Joanne and cousin Sabrina came up for a visit. I was happy to have them here all day!! It was a nice visit! Grandma and Grandpa Martin came for a visit Friday night and Saturday. They watched Ella as Mike and I went out for dinner with friends on Saturday night for the first time alone without Ella! Today, Sunday, we went to Emily's (my 2nd cousin's) 4th birthday party. We had a good time seeing everyone. Ella was exhausted from all the action!
