A year and a scosh

As we are just on top of our blog and keeping all those who eagerly await our updates with anticipation, we've just had our first 'famiversary' as of a couple of weeks ago. It is hard to believe that Ella has been home for over a year. She is growing fast and she is doing well in all other regards. She can sing 'Twinkle Twinkle' all by herself and does a heck of  job on 'Old McDonald's Farm.' 

We are in Seattle for the holidays with Julia's family and, then on the way back to Wisconsin, we are taking the train in order to stop an see my parents for a few days. All in all, it is nice to have the university schedule with the long holiday break. The only downer to the trip is Roxie being in the 'doggy gulag' for 20 days. That is a long time in lock up and I worry about her. Not much of a Christmas present for dog. 

Ella has been enjoying her new daycare at UW-Stout. She has been going there since she officially turned two in November. (Nice birthday update we provided, huh?) It is quite the daycare; very posh. She is still going to one of her others that she was attending before. We couldn't stand breaking up some of her friendships at the other place. She'll keep that up trough the Spring Semester and then next Fall we'll see if she is unifies or stays split.

Our life isn't as exciting as a year ago, and I wish I could say I feel better rested. Actually we are accomplishing that bit. It is hard to reminisce about a year ago as it is all one giant sleep deprived fog. Having Ella home has been a bunch of fun.

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. The way we are for updating, see you in March.
