Why Blog?

In the wee hours of the morning while I was feeding Ella a couple of days ago I decided that it would be cool to start my own blog. I can't tell you how many times I have bought journals with all the best intentions of writing in them. I usually do for about 2 days and then I either lose the journal or just forget to do it. Since I can't lose the computer and I'm on here during the day anyway I thought this would be a great way to document my adventure of being a new mom and so our families that are far away can see pictures of Ella and find out what she's been up to.

We took our first trip to the Sells' house in Elizabethton this weekend. She did really well on the trip and hammed it up for all of the family members. We got to see some of my friends from high school and Jon's sister, Cathy, finally got to see her. It was so much fun. She was so glad to be home last night and out of that carseat. I tripped her down to her diaper and let her stretch out on the bed and she kicked her legs and smiled and laughed. It was too cute.

Well, that's it for my very first blog post. Boring, huh? I'll try to post some pictures later.
