SNOW!!!

Ella in the snow! Too bad her eyes are closed.
Having fun in the snow!

Ella all bundled up and ready to go play in the snow!Our car covered with snow!

After all of the freezing rain, it snowed! There is quite a bit of snow. We went out for awhile and played in it. Ella seemed to enjoy it, but she did complain about her shoes. I think that she didn't like the fact that it was all over her boots. She kept walking around in it saying "my shoes, my shoes". 

Potty Training...

So, we have started to potty train Ella. We bought her a potty seat that goes over the toilet. It has yellow ducks on it. She seems to like it. I don't think she quite understands when to say she has to potty, but we are just trying to get her use to the idea of going to the bathroom on the toilet. So, last night I put her on the toilet and she went #2 and #1. She wasn't sure if she should go to the bathroom on it, she kept looking at me with a concerned look on her face. But I assured her that it was okay. So, when I use the bathroom or when I can tell she needs to use the bathroom, I put her on her potty seat. It will be way sweet if she'll be potty train before Miriam comes, but if not the goal is by the time she is two. :)

Christmas 2008

Ella got a baby and a stroller for Christmas. She loves them both!
Ella was to interested in the other kids and didn't want to look at the camera.

We spent Christmas in Poplar Bluff with James' dad and family. Here are some pictures from Christmas there. (Sorry, I forgot to turn the top pictures...I'm not really sure how)
