Okay, first let me apologise! I know I live in Hawaii and should have no complaints. I'm really spoiled. The military gives you 48 hours to make a housing decision and once it's made, the only way to get out of it is to have another baby! The pressure! Especially when we aren't familiar with the areas and don't really know where we want to live. We decided to live on base near Kunia, where Ron works. It's close to his job and we will save so much $$$. Ron always wanted to downsize our furniture and I can easily part with our 1980's couches in exchange for a futon (guest bed/ couch). We do have lots of storage so it's all good. We call and accept tomorrow and should be able to move in next week. Really, our own place again! We're excited. 
These pics are from the other night. It's been raining the last two days and parts of the island are prone to flooding (one of the areas is where we were considering renting). This rain had been a blessing and added another reason we don't need to waste money on a rental. Australia here we come!!!! (And I get to go shopping for a futon!) I have stopped nursing Ella. Since we've been here I've only been nursing her when she wakes up in the morning and before she goes to bed. Today was the first day I've stopped completely. I tried to nurse her before bed but her teeth are getting too sharp and if she's at all distracted, I'm in a lot of pain. Steph, you were so right...teeth are god's way of saying it's time to stop nursing! I'm a little uncomfortable and probably will be until my milk dries up but I'm sure I'll be back to normal in a day or two. I'm sad that this part of Ella's babyness is gone. She's getting so big, talking up a storm and her latest thing, waving! She sees herself in the full-length mirror when she wakes up and waves to herself. Too cute!!! I love watching her grow and process new things!
