A Busy Week

It's been a busy week for all. Here are our updates!

Derek has been gone on the East coast all week for work. He traveled Monday morning-late Thursday night and visited South Carolina and Pennsylvania. From what I'm told, he worked hard, ate well, and slept peacefully in luxury hotel beds. :)

Erin rolled over from her back to her tummy on Thursday night. She has been trying so hard this week and she finally got it! She's been acting a little funny lately so we're hoping to see a tooth sprout up here soon.

Ella missed her Daddy all week, but kept VERY busy with a steady flow of visitors from her aunts and Gma Lorrie and Gpa Tom! It was quite a treat having other people cook for her, read to her and bathe her.

I had a very busy week keeping everybody full/dry/clean/happy/on schedule. With the exception of one very bad night's sleep, the rest went pretty smooth thanks to all of the help I got from family and friends! Weeks like this remind me how hard single parents/military spouses work...

In a conversation we shared the night Daddy was coming home, I asked Ella if she wanted to take Daddy out to eat the following night to spend some time with him.
Me: "Where do you want to eat at?"
Ella: "The table."
Me: "No... like... should we go to a restaurant?"
Ella: "No. I just want sammiches. At the table."
Me: "Really? If you could eat anything, what would you want?"
Ella: "Just sammiches. At the table. That's all."

Note to self: we need to get out more.
