Happy Halloween!

Today is Ella's second Halloween (her first where she is not a tiny, screaming parasite) - she, of course, managed to pick up her first cold in months, so she is miserably snotty and coughing, but she is managing to make the best of it. She allowed herself to be photographed a bit before throwing a tantrum, so I shall post a couple of pics and videos to pacify the throngs (i.e. 5) of people who read this! To all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Keep your fingers crossed that Ella actually sleeps tonight....last night consisted of lots of coughing, spluttering and crying. And not a lot of sleeping for mommy and daddy. Ah the trials of parenthood!

Happy Halloween!

Fall Is Here...

Today was the annual Long Beach Fall Festival - although it felt like summer, being over 70 degrees and sunny! Angela, Melissa, Ella and I walked over and met up with Dad. Had a walk around, allowed Ella to pick a pumpkin and headed home for sushi! I would write more, but I am so disgusted at the Jets loss today that I need to go puke. Here's some pics, courtesy of Melissa.

Big hugs for daddy!

And big hugs for Grandpa Mike!

Showing all kinds of love today...now for Auntie Mel!

Hmmm...which one to choose....

I'll take this one! Wanna see?? Look at my pumpkin!

Ready to ride daddy home :)

I Know, I Know...

...it has been a while. Give me a break, eh? Things have been hectic around here! What with Ella's horrible teething/diaper rash, coupled with waking up EVERY night til 2am, it is hard to get time to take photos/videos of her in a happy place. But, due to constant pressure and popular demand, I have done the best I can. Please enjoy...!
