Some people



Sorry it has been so long since the last post. Our car was broken into about a week ago when we were visiting friends in R.I. and our beloved camera was stolen...along with our GPS, the diaper bag Jutsin gave me when Ella was born (sad) and my wallet, phone, and alot of Ella's clothes and her cute little jacket. I was sad about the sentimental items (Ella's cute little jacket and diaper bag), but REALLY not happy about the fact that our camera that we had literally saved money for for months before Ella was born is now gone. We were just running into a store (in the POURING rain)and could see our car from where we were. Lesson learned-never leave anything in your car, even in a "nice" neighborhood and even for just a minute or two. It certainly could have been worse and we are truly thankfulthat it is nothing more than an annoyance. As Thanksgiving approaches, we wish our family and friends all the best. We are thankful for each and every one of them and for our healthy and adorable, walking, talking (well, babbling...) daughter. Soon we will have a new camera and I'll post some pictures of her walking....here are a few pictures from before our camera was stolen...enjoy!

At our house the last 2 days has been not so fun. Justin has what we are calling the "0oga-booga", not really sure what it is, but it involves a sore throat and fever. Yuck. And Ella had her first trip to the dr. ever for a non-well-baby visit. She has had a lingering cold which Wednesday night turned into an ear infection. She was up every hour all night long. That is not like her, so we knew something was not right. The next morning she was tired, but okay. I took her to the pediatrician and they said that she has a "whopper" of an ear infection in her right ear and pink-eye. Her eye never looked pink, just gooky, so I had no idea. She is on an antibiotic for 10 days. She has remained in a good mood despite all of this and we are just hoping everyone is better SOON! In the meantime, Ella took 19 steps today! We have a walker!! :)
