The first week of school

For those thinking I'm slacking off and not doing this as often as I should, I'd like to set the record straight. I tried to post Wednesday and Thursday of last week and the stupid website wasnt working correctly so it wouldnt let me post anything. Then I got aggravated and haven't tried again until now. Hopefully it'll work this time.

Owen has survived his first almost-full week at school (4 days) without any major injuries or illness, so we are very thankful about that. He's done quite well and fell right back into his old schedule. It's been quite nice to get him to bed at closer to normal times again. :) He still fights it every night, but it's getting better. Hopefully after this week, he'll be fully back into the swing of things and we'll be going smoothly when I return to working (from home) this Thursday. Yesterday, Miss Sandi and Colby came over to play so Owen got to stay home from school. We had so much fun. It's nice to them over since we dont get to see them much since moving out here. They also brought us dinner which was yummy - Thank you Sandi! :) Today Owen decided he needed to take his dog that Uncle Jordan got for him to school. I dont usually let him take toys into the school for fear of losing them or other kids messing them up, but he wasnt gonna have it any other way. Wish us the best in getting him back complete and relatively clean. :) I think it's cute how much he loves that dog. He's never really had any attachment to anything before, but he takes the dog with him most places and always has to have him when he goes to bed each night. It's very cute. :)

Ella is still doing great. She starting to go a little bit longer between meals now which is nice and she's sleeping for slightly longer periods at a time. She's still asleep a LOT during the day most days, but hopefully she'll start waking up more soon. She started smiling a couple of weeks ago, but in the last week, she's doing it a lot more. She's got a beautiful little smile! :) I just can't wait until she's awake and alert more so we can see it a lot more often. It's amazing how fast she's growing up. It's like I blink and she's an inch longer and 3 weeks older. I'm excited to see her develop and start doing new things, but not so fast! :) I can't wait until she and Owen are able to start playing together a little bit. It's gonna be so much fun to see how they interact with each other. I have a feeling sister might be the bully in that relationship. :) She seems to have a little more attitude than brother, but you never know! We'll find out soon enough. How exciting!
