Nothin' Runs Like a Deere

Happy New Year Everyone! The year ended on a stressful note as Ella took a tumble off the bed New Year's Eve. As per usual, she took the fall like a champ. Daddy, who was watching her at the time, feels awful. Ella is just so mobile now and it was a good lesson to both Mommy and Daddy to be ever more careful. It was extremely stressful experience but we're told by many parents that these falls are part of childhood. We hope that this scare was the last for us and that 2010 is a year filled with healthy moments.

It's very cold today! It will feel like -24 degrees Celscius this afternoon. We've decided to stay inside and to avoid the freezing cold. Tomorrow, Mommy returns to work with a very heavy heart. She's been dreading this day for some time now. We hope that Ella will continue to enjoy daycare and that Mommy (and Daddy) don't cry too much tomorrow.

Ella is staying comfortable in her John Deere pants. Neighbour Auntie Dar made them for Christmas for Ella. Now, Daddy and Ella have John Deere attire. While Daddy wears his for work, Ella has enjoyed lounging in her pants today.

Say a prayer for Ella, Mommy, and Daddy so that this week goes smoothly!
