WE ARE STILL SICK

It's been such a long time since I last posted, but we can't seem to get over the FUNK. I finally recovered from the flu/strep stuff that I had going on, and now Brian and Ella are dealing with something, too. This crazy weather of ours isn't helping out much, either. Not a lot has been going on at our house, so there isn't much to say other than the fact that life with a little one continues to be interesting. I won't bore you with all of the details of our life, but I will share with you some of the "Ella comments" from the last few weeks that have made us smile:

"Candy makes my belly happy."
"Do baby cows have the things that the milk comes out of?"
"Why can't we have ice cream for breakfast?"
"Easter was my best."
"That only bothers me 'every now and then'"
"On my 'next' March 8, I'll be 4!"
(to her teacher)"My mommy makes me the best lunches of ever!"

Hopefully, we'll all recover soon and get over this mess!

Bunny Questions...and other things that make you go hmmmm....

So, here I sit on a beautiful Easter Sunday with strep throat, the flu and whatever else you want to add in there. What a terrible weekend it's been for me, but what a wonderful weekend it's been for Brian and Ella. I've been SO sick since Wednesday, and Brian has really stepped up and helped me with Ella. He and she have gotten to spend some much needed quality time together, so I guess it hasn't been all bad. Brian was off on Friday (which was my WORST day), so the two of them spent the whole day together. On Saturday, they went to the church egg hunt together, (yes the famous Woodmont Hills Egg Hunt, and I missed it!!) and they had a great time. On the way home, Ella asked Brian a few questions about the Easter bunny. Here's her part of the conversation: "So, the Easter bunny at the mall is brown and the one at the egg hunt was white...which one will be coming to our house? Brian answered, and she thought for a moment and then asked, "Is he real?" Ella has a sharp mind and questions EVERYTHING. She's already wondering if the Easter bunny is real for goodness sakes! Then, this morning, the "Easter Bunny" put some of the left over candy in a dish by the sofa. Our little detective spotted it and said, "Hey, that's the same candy that's in my basket...how did that get in there???" Remember, she's only three. Seriously, though, today was really hard for me when I had to watch Ella and Brian leave for church without me. First of all, I LOVE our church. Our new preacher is amazing, and I look so forward to hearing him each week. But to miss Easter Sunday with my family was so hard. I'll admit that I cried a little as I waved bye. You know what, though, Christ is ALIVE and the tomb is empty and whether I was at home or at church, that fact remains the same. I hope your day was a good one...He is Risen!!
