I am hoping everyone had a great Mother's Day. I have to say I had a great day. The morning started with Rick and Ella bringing me a steaming hot non-fat latte with one splenda from Dunn Bros. - this is my absolute favorite! We then went to mass - which did not have the nursery open! Let me tell you, Mother's Day is one day that the nursery needs to be open :-) But, we survived - Rick and Ella ran around in the back while I tried to revive my spirit! Then it was off to Byerly's - we picked up some great steak and veggies for dinner - my favorite! And, Byerly's now has chocolate dipped killer brownies - seriously, they really are killer - so good!! We had lunch at Chipotle - Ella was not a fan of the chicken, but she really liked the corn, cheese and sour cream. And, the sun was out the entire day - gorgeous!
I had a mani/pedi at 5. It was great but the guy who runs the place was hillarious - he came to my chair, reclined it, turned on the massager and forced me to relax - he even made me try and close my eyes - however that only lasted 2.2 seconds. It was sweet actually.
By dinner we were stuffed and decided to save the steak. I just wanted a sandwhich and milk so we called Erbert's and Gerbert's. It was a great way to end the day. Thank you Rick and Ella for treating me like a queen!!
So, as for little Ella - she is doing fabulous! She gives wonderfully sloppy kisses now - she really attacks you - super cute! And, Rick has taught her to give a high 5 after the kisses - it will be great when she is on her first date and she gives her boyfriend a high 5 - I tell that to Rick and it totally freaks him out!!! He doesn't want her to date until she is 30!
She is still a really active child - she loves to climb on anything and everything. She can get on most of our furniture now which is a little scary - she really is fearless. She keeps us moving, but we wouldn't have it any other way. She loves music - anything and everything - turn it on and she starts bopping. I am trying to teach her to jump but she hasn't quite figured that out yet. It is going to be a great summer - she is just so fun and she loves to be outside - it is such a welcome time after a long winter.
My friend Kristi inspired me to update this blog and share it with all of you. I hope you are all doing well. We miss those of you we haven't seen in a while.
Take care - we love you! We will keep the updates coming!!
Rick, Molly, and Ella Bella :-)
