Whoops... The blog has been on the back burner. Many things have been happening around our house. I'll try and update you!
The latest thing is that we are totally redoing the whole basement. I mean ripping everything out except the studs! Chad has been working every free minute he has. We are shooting to have everything done by Miss Ellie's birthday. Her birthday is February 25th. We will see if it gets done!
We also just got new furniture!! YEAH! We have a nice set of brown furniture that we had upstairs. As you know we have a dog that sheds. So, that furniture got moved downstairs and up came the old stuff! We ordered a light colored set so it matches the dog. Also, Pugs (dog) is no longer invited on the furniture. We've had the furniture about a week and she has done really well so far. As I type this update she is hanging out in her new dog bed!!
Ellie is growing to fast. She is 10 1/2 months old right now. She weighs about 22 lbs. Her hair is just getting long enough for me to put little pony tails in it.
Ellie just went through a major change. She used to sleep in our bed with us. And she also used to have two bottles in the middle of the night. Thursday last week we said enough. She now sleeps in her bed. She cried last night for only about seven minutes. She goes to bed good and then wakes up at about 2:30 AM wanting a bottle. We then let her cry and she sleeps till about six or seven. It was just to hard on Chad and I to have her in the bed with us. Our backs would hurt because we slept on the edge of the bed. We worried about laying on her or hurting her. So, we have enjoyed having the bed back to ourselves.
I have been busy crafting lately. I'm sure that you all have heard of Pinterest. Well, I'm addicted! Today I made a towel to hang from the oven with my sewing machine. I also made a place to hold Ellie's clips and hair things. It was AWESOME!! I am going to upload pictures tomorrow off my camera and I'll post some pictures!
So, tomorrow I will have more. Pictures:)
