One Long Day!!!

Some days are just plain long! We are trying to enjoy this semester though because starting this last week Andrew now is done by noon three days a week instead of two! It makes the two days that he is gone from 7:20ish to 6:30 or 7:30 at night (sun up to sun down!) much more manageable! I know that once the next semester starts in January that we won't see him at all in the afternoons so we are trying to enjoy it and do fun things while we can! Come January his schedule will be just the same but he will start studying for boards that come the third or so week in March, plus once he is done with that he will soon start his externships after that and it will be like a full time job so we are going to soak it all in now! Even if we eat dinner without him a few nights a week now we are grateful when we get too!

Last week on one of our long days, I was doing something, went to check on Ella and she had put on the blocks onto the lid of her duplo thing. She was super proud of herself and then said Chair, sit and got some little people to sit on the chair piece. It is fun to watch her learn and I am amazed at how much she knows and what she picks up on!

This kid is trying to give us a run for our money! He is all over! He was standing up and banging the blocks on the coat tree and then sitting down and clapping for himself. He did it at least 5 times it was hilarious!

I love this one of him trying to get the block, on his tippy toes!

Ella felt left out that I was taking Easton's picture and kept yelling "mom" over and over again so I finally said what and she said "cheese" so I took her picture!

She thinks Mr. Potato Heads glasses fit her just fine

Little miss Ella, obsessed with shoes and spoons. If she finds a pair of her shoes lying around then she put them on, someone needs to tell her you can't wear socks and sandals!

Here she is on her tippy toes reaching in the drawer for a spoon. We are slowly loosing our spoons (that is why we by the $3 take and toss ones!). Whenever we ask her what she wants to eat she doesn't really care she only says she wants a spoon to eat it with. As long as a spoon is involved she is happy. She is constantly in the drawer getting one multiple times a day and she messes up the drawer every time. She is so silly!
