Ella's First Carnival

Christina and I took Ella and Emmi to the Hawaii State Fair this afternoon. It was a first for Ella on the rides. She loved them all and was even excited to just watch the big kids on the scary rides. After a bit of hesitation, I let Ella ride solo with Emmi on some of the kid rides; she just made the height requirement of 36".

Happy Birthday Auntie Christin! You're just as old as Mommy now! :)

End of the Week

Nothing exciting this week, hence the lack of posts. Ella's finally learned to sing Happy Birthday so we were able to leave Uncle Joey a message on Tuesday (Happy Belated Birthday Uncle Joey!). She still eludes the camera when I try to capture her singing. These are some pictures from today...

We've just been out enjoying the sunshine and walking. I have tendinitis in my left foot and have been walking to try to make it go away... that didn't work so I've resigned to going on some meds in hope it's gone by our trip to Canada.
Ron put in for leave and was informed he's had too many days off this year... we're hoping the command will approve it anyway. There is a chance it may just be Ella and I... anyone up for a road trip to the Rockies for two weddings of people they don't know??? Anyone? :) If Ron isn't able to get the time off, Ella and I will only go to Cranbrook for the weekend for my cousin's wedding. I can't foresee a two day drive across the Rockies, alone with a toddler as ending in any sort of sanity. We're still keeping our fingers crossed for Ron's leave.
