Oh, Ella.

You know, when Aidan was little I heard stories of kids pooping and while in their rooms smearing poop all over the bed, walls etc... and I just couldn't believe it.

Then I had another child named Ella. The second (and third?) child has a way of making me eat humble pie for a lot of things I've said.

The other day I was sitting on the couch and she came up to me and said "Here Momma" and proceeded to try and hand me a handful of poop.

Ewwww... "Ella!"

Ever since then every time she messes her pants she's digging for gold, so any suggestions on how to stop this? :o)

The girl is just full of vim and vigor and sometimes I realize we have quite the job of protecting her from herself. ☺

I never really understood what people meant when they said that.

Now I do.

On Sunday (or was it Monday?) she was trying to go down a tall slide (the one by mom and dad's house)and catapulted herself over the side. Kenneth, Cary and I all watched it, horrified.

I was the one screaming and running towards her after we watched her land on her head.

Ugh.

It all turned out ok.

She cried for awhile, had some scratches and dirt on her body, but she was back to running around in about 15 minutes.

We did keep our eye on her though, making sure she didn't show signs of a concussion or anything else.

It's at that point that you realize that no matter what you do, you can only do so much and PRAY that God is watching over her too (and hopefully a few guardian angels)!

It's been a fun summer for the kids.

They are glad that all the cousins are back from all the vacations, especially since now they can go next door and find someone to play with. ☺

We're really hoping to get our house done soon, as we're a 'little' tired of living in limbo. Seems like we've been doing this for almost 2 years now so it will be nice to be living somewhere that's "permanent".

Nope, this post doesn't have any photos.

The internet has been really bad the past few days so I can't upload photos, that's what happens when you piggy back off your nice neighbors' internet. ☺
