I love my dad

Can't you tell?

Ellie Sherman

She was VERY good last night. Not sure if it will continue. We didnt get home with her until 8pm...and by 10pm we had her in her crate in our room to sleep. She only woke up when LUCY WHO HAS BEEN SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT decided to get up at 1am. So Troy got Lucy and I took Ellie outside. She went potty, and I put her back in her crate. Lucy decided to get up at 430am as well, but Ellie stayed asleep! I woke up at 5am for work and I decided to wake Ellie up to take her to go potty. She NEVER told us she wanted to go, we were the ones to take her!
Lets cross our fingers she stays this way or at least can hold it as good as she did last night!
Troy had Lucy and Ellie to take care of this morning ( like he will every morning) so I am anxious to find out how it went! AND he is taking her to work for a little to continue the crate training. Lets hope for the best! We love our little Ellie! Did I mention she was the smallest? The runt? Adorable! And she is 12 weeks, born on July 12 :)

Newest Addition teaser pictures

well not good pics..we have more coming..but this was from my cell phone.
She is adorable! Wish us luck sleeping tonight!

Call us crazy....

In just a few days we will officially be a family of 5. That is, us, Lucy, our cat Bubba and our new puppy. Pictures to come :)

FINALLY!

We are getting our own phone line and internet today!!! Yahooo! It feels like it has been FOREVER since I have been able to look at other peoples blogs..and write on ours! Expect me to be back in business soon!
Have a GREAT Thursday!
By the way...Lucy update....She got 3 teeth last week! She now has 5 teeth! She also does not eat anything anymore that she cant pick up and put in her mouth! Sooo strange that she just changed one day! Its been quite fun to give her tons of finger foods but it makes it harder to eat on the go sometimes! Baby food was sure easy! But it is way cuter to see her eating on her own now and choosing things she likes most to eat. She LOVES ritz crackers right now :)
She has been sleeping way better too. Maybe its all of the solid foods and more water and apple juice she has been having. She totally loves her sippy cup and CHUGS liquid daily!

Mulate's

A traditional New Orlean style restaurant...and this little old man took some of the teachers from our table and danced with them! I had to get a picture of each teacher with the stylin ol man!! I took a picture of the bread...because we were served that type of bread at every restaurant...you just pulled pieces off...it was soo good! Crumbs were everywhere! And i HAD to get a pic of the man playing the accordian! There was also a HUGE accordian suspended in the air above the bar. So Cool!

Trolley Ride

More pics from New Orleans! Here is our Vice Principal Diva and my co teacher and friend Jen and I traveling down the ol Trolley looking at New Orleans sights. The picture of the little Trolley painted is a sample of what was around town...different little Trolleys that were all painted differently. This one says New Orleans and the letters are all made up of pictures from the city itself.
