Okay. Here are the biggest and most important things that have happened in the last 2 months-ish for us!
1) I'm homeschooling Ella and Delainey. I could not shake the feeling that it wasn't the right thing for Ella to be in school. I don't know if that means I'm going to homeschool forever, or just this year, but I know the second I pulled her from school I felt SO much peace. Unbelievable difference. We all love it and are excited about homeschool. Ella mentions missing her friends from last year, but we have done some play dates with them and she's always excited to the brim about seeing them.
2) We've had a few friends come and visit since we moved into our new house. It's SO AWESOME to have a guest room and bathroom in the basement!
3) Ella turned 5! We do birthday parties every other year. This year Ella chose Hello Kitty as her theme. This is the cake I made. It was pretty good for me! She had lots of friends come, some from last year's Pre-K class, and some new friends. Tons of fun was had. On Ella's real birthday Grandma Jaylene took her and Delainey to Gym & Swim at the YMCA, and then out to lunch. In 2 of the pictures below Ella is talking to Granny and posing with her birthday celebration breakfast...a banana ;)
4) We love each other. I love my sweetheart and our 3 little girls. I feel so blessed every single day. Hard things happen, I lose my temper, don't get as much done as I'd like, etc. BUT, we have so much. Too much to not feel gratitude for Heavenly Father's blessings.
