Hello

The picture above is of Ella after a nap, wrinkles and all.

My camera still isn't back from getting fixed. Hopefully i'll have it soon. I'm going crazy without it.

Ella is now walking along the couch, hanging on to the couch and ottaman, it's so cute to watch her go. She can crawl but prefers to walk. She'll crawl over to us, grab our hands and have us walk with her. She loves standing up.

She also tries to talk to every kid she sees. You should hear her screaming in the malls, trying to get someones attention. Ella has three words in her vocabulary, Papa, Mama and Hey.

She is definately Daddy's little girl. I have to watch Sly because he is spoiling her rotten. If she just smiles at something, he will buy it for her. What am I going to do with him?

This weekend we are heading to Hampton Beach for a long awaited Vacation. A week at the beach, it should be so much fun.

The weekend after we get back, Myron and Alexis are coming to visit. They will be staying in Sherbrooke while Alexis attends goalie school. It should be lots of fun.

Weather here, hasn't been great. We are hoping to get nice weather while on holiday.

Hope everyone is having a great summer.

Love,

-S

Happy 4th Of July!!!!

Birthday Wishes & Happy Canada Day.

(L walking outside, her favorite thing to do.)

Second week of daycare and things aren't much better.

Annie (Sister-in-law) who works in a daycare told me that if she's sleeping through the night she is just fine at the daycare. It's just that she would prefer to be with me and is testing me.

Keep making me feel bad for leaving you there, L.

The worst thing is that I only leave her for 30-60minutes a day.

Well enough about that.

Sly got back from Phoenix with a tan, lucky him. It was cold here, so I guess I'll have to catch up on mine when we go to Hampton Beach.

Today it's raining and it is so humid. Hopefully the rain will break this humidity.

CANADA DAY this weekend. Yay!! Hopefully we'll have some good weather.

My camera is still getting fixed so i'll I can post are older pictures.

My Camera is Getting Fixed

My camera is in getting fixed, the flash is messed up. I will be without a camera for about 3-4 weeks so I don't know what i'm going to do. I'm freaking out.

Anyways so this is what happened this week:

Ella started daycare, boy oh boy did it not go well.

I had an appointment at the Ortho on Tuesday at 10:30am. I dropped L off at 10:15 and was back by 12:30. They told me she did well the first 45 minutes but cried and screamed the rest of the time. She is at a stage where she is missing mommy. So anyways Judy (the babysitter), tells me that all the kids were freaking out because L kept screaming. I felt bad and we agreed that we'd have to get her use to daycare gradually. So the plan was for me to bring her for about an hour on Wednesday. That night L was so pooped that she slept 12 hours.

So Wednesday I get there and this little boy named Zach covered his ears the minute he saw L. He asked Judy if L was going to be screaming. I felt so bad. So I ended up leaving her for thirty minutes. When I got back L's eyes were once again all puffy and red, poor baby. Judy said she was fine for about 15 minutes and then probably realized I wasn't there and cried for the rest of the time. So I decided to stay at the daycare with L for about 30 an hour so that she could still get use to the other kids and the sitters Judy & Stephanie. She would cry but stop once she saw I was there. We went home, had lunch, a nap and then went back to the daycare. I spent another hour with L at the daycare, trying to get her use to everyone.

Today I dropped her off for a while but stayed for a bit. She did better today but still cried.

Poor baby, I feel so bad but she is going to have to get use to it. I want to start working in September.

So that was our long week. Tomorrow daycare is closed along with Monday so L isn't going back to daycare until Tuesday. I'll let you know how it all goes.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Take Care,

-S
