Ella turned FIVE months old today! Can you believe it!?!?!? She is such an awesome kid, and SO funny!! We have had a wonderful weekend together as a family....even if I am sick and couldn't speak. I think my inability to speak may have made Scott's weekend a bit better. ;)
We just can't believe how fast time has flown and how big Ella is these days! As you can see, she smiles a lot! You just can't help but join her when she flashes that toothless grin.
As I said this was a wonderful weekend. For a Football Coach's family, once August rolls around there isn't much family time. That is made even worse when the smallest member of the family goes to bed before the coach gets home & wakes up after he leaves for the office. I made Scott a promise; he would never go two whole days without seeing Ella, EVER. So, we have lunch at the office or go catch a practice, whatever we have to do. We aren't special, all coaching families do this *remember that the next time you feel the need to complain about a play call during your favorite team's game* but not this weekend!! This weekend we had a bye week (no game for all you novices out there) which means that we got to love on our coach for 2 WHOLE DAYS!!! Ella had so much fun seeing her Dad & I had fun watching them together. She would wake up from her nap and I'd take her into the living room and her whole body would jump when she saw him. You could just see her tiny brain go "DADDY!!! What are you doing here??" So sweet.
Daddy & daughter got to play, cuddle in the floor, lay on the couch and Scott got to watch an Iowa game with his baby girl for the first time ever.
Scott & our girls
We also got to spend time with friends and just hang out and watch football. It was a weekend full of making memories that Scott & I will cherish forever. As much as we love bye weeks, that's not what our family looks forward to most this time of year.....we relish the Saturdays where we get to go cheer Scott & his team on.
So now, bring on GAMEDAY!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!
(please note my daughter is showing the horns down sign! LOVE that girl!)
