I'll Stand for that

29th April - As you can see still catching up, if you read please comment, that should help keep me up to date, a great way to interact with you from far a way.

Almost the splits, so happy to be up from Napping!

I got some books to read to Ella and then had to do something and set them on the couch and Ella on the floor, I came back to find her standing for the first time by herself, she loves her books.  It was so cute, I had to search for the camera and caught it.  She seems to just stand for things that are interesting enough - like TV remotes, the computer, cables, phones or other things she really shouldn't have.

30th April - She loves her Tante Miriam too who just came for a visit yesterday (23 May) but this was her last visit.  She travels a lot for work, the headquarters being in Belgium and we just happen to be on the way, perfect for us so we are so blessed to get to see her, even if it is just for one night!

We went to the Pfal = Stake Musical too and drove out to Franfurt area, it was really well done and was about searching for Truth and Heroes and Values we stand for.  It was totally worth going, even though we realized while we were there Ella had a fever.  She ended up being sick for 5 days, really bad.  It is amazing when your little one is sick how much a mother can rise to the challenge to care and give even more love and time when you already thought you couldn't give any more.  She was cuddly for the 1st time in her life really and napped on me multiple times in the day, which never has happened really.  It was sweet and heartbreaking at times, but a tiny bit of that cuddliness has remained.
