Ella helps Bardot open her present








What a great week we all had at the Liss house! And today, May 24th, Mike and I are celebrating meeting each other 7 years ago today!

Ella was all smiles as she got to see her favorite gal. Bardot came in for visit from California on Wednesday. She stayed with us before going to her parent's house near Fort Wayne on Saturday. Her short stay was so much fun. A memory that will always be in my mind from her visit: When I picked B up from the train station, I laughed because she was so "California" with her fabulous clothes, heels and jelery. (Oh, I miss those California boutiques) She didn't fit in with all the other people on the South Shore. haha- Such a diva to sport diamond earrings down to her shoulders, an eye pad, ipod ear buds, and neck pillow for her commute from O' Hare to the trains to Indiana. I wish I could have taken a photo but the funniest thing is, this was almost 1 in the morning when I picked her up at the Beverly Shores train depot. Bardot had to wait until the next morning to see (her girl) Ella because she was fast asleep.
Ella recognized her immediately when she saw her the next morning. It was so sweet to see these two reunite.
We went out to El Salto for dinner and margaritas Thursday night with all the girls. Ella came with of course and Mike took her home to bed after a certain hour. Even party babies need their rest :) We were finally able to give Bardot her present I had been working on for the past several months.....a scrapbook of Ella. I am not a crafty person by any means, so this was a great accomplishment for me to finish. Ella even helped Bardot open it like a big girl. So cute. Ella and I also went to Valpo to help Bardot paint a room in her beautiful house which is up for sale right now. Ella was such a trooper as she just played with her toys as we painted.
Ella is rolling around very well now! She now has 5 teeth!
Mike is putting our baby jogger to great use. The jogger is a gift from a friend who is a professional runner and triathlete. We are so appreciative of it! This thing is pretty high tech complete with an odometer and UV, bug and rain shields! We can even push her while running in the sand with it. Mike is training for the Chicago Marathon so this comes in handy when he is on training runs and wants to take baby. We just got it the other day. Ella and I are trying it out today for the first time after finish posting this.
