The Perfect Day

Wow, it's been a while. I can't believe it's been so long since I updated the blog. To bring things up to date, Ella is sitting up and she is saying "Dada" all the time. It is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. She is the funniest, sweetest, and silliest baby ever.

Today was the most perfect day ever. Jon, Ella, and I slept in until about 10:30. Then we got up and got ready and went and ate brunch at Main Street Cafe. We went to Babies-R-Us and looked at car seats and then went to Rack Room Shoes and Jon got a pair of really nice brown shoes for his new job. Then we went to Bridgestreet and walked around. Jon found another pair of really nice more casual shoes. Ella got to ride in the big girl part of the stroller for the first time. She LOVED it!! She had so much fun looking around at everyone. It was a beautiful sunny day. Then we went home and Jon and I got cleaned up. We took Ella to Auntie Ambers house at about 5:15 and went to Carraba's to eat. While we were waiting for a table Jon and I went in the Gap and got him several shirts on sale. Then we ate and it was so yummy! We even ordered Tirimisu to bring home for later! Then we went to Ross to look around and then we went to the book store and looked at magazines and books for a while. We went and picked Ella up, loved on her for a while, and then put her to bed. We sat on the couch and watched Saturday Night LIve and ate our dessert then went to bed. It was a wonderful family day. Jon and I had a wonderful date and Ella had a great time with Auntie Amber, Auntie Regina, and Uncle Tom.

I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and such a precious daughter. Spending the day together, just the 3 of us, was so great. Jon and I are going to try to do the "date night" thing once a month. Even if it's just to go to the bookstore and have a cup of coffee together. It was really fun!!!

I'll post some pics of Ella Boo tomorrow.
