Well, our summer is almost officially over. I have my first "Teacher" day on Friday. I've been gradually preparing Ella for the return to the babysitter- fulltime! She's gone a couple days a week this summer just to keep her a little familiar with it! We've taken some time to enjoy our last couple weeks of summer. Ella and I headed to Ohio for a few days to visit Mike, Krista and the girls! We had a blast hanging out and exploring the Cleveland area with Krista and the girls. We even made it to the beach on the Great Lake! Krista, Emily, Ella and I also had the opportunity to hike at Whipps Ledges, it was a beautiful day... unfortunately a tree fell on the "easy" path so Krista and I were forced to climb gigantic rocks with our babies attached to us to make it to the tops of the ledges, boy was it worth it! So after a few days of fun in the Cleveland area Ella and I headed back home to finish out our summer! Ella continues to grow and change like crazy! She just popped through her 9th tooth today- a molar! She still isn't completely walking on her own, she can walk 3 steps really well then decides to sit down before taking more! However, tonight she walked almost 1/2 way across our living room!!! So, I'm sure it won't be long before she is walking everywhere! Well, that's the update on us for now. I made a slide show of some recent pictures of Ella, I finally got a new camera so I've taken lots of pictures over the past couple of weeks!
