Another Week

It's so cold here! Last night it was in the 30s. Brrr. ;) It is sad, though, all the flowers were out and now they're dying. It's getting up in the 60s during the day with the sun, though, so we're not frozen out yet. :)

This Sunday little E looked lovely in yellow. I love this dress! It's a sweater dress, and it's so soft and cute. Everyone loved her, and I think you will too. :)

On Sunday night we had a worship service, which we don't usually have. We enjoyed that. I, especially, felt reminiscent of the old Sunday night church days--I always used to like that service best, and I did this week, too.

Yesterday was shopping day. Elena always likes that. She loves seeing the sights, and all the people love her. It's funny--people don't really talk or make eye contact at Walmart, but at Aldi people talk to us and get Elena to smile. I think it's because our Aldi is new, so people have to pay attention to their surrounding because they aren't quite used to it. And because they're saving so much money they're in a good mood. haha, that's my theory anyway. I always love saving so much money. :)

We also went to the Grays to watch 24. It's so much fun to watch it with the Grays and McKelveys--we spend the whole time making fun of the plot holes. But I still absolutely love the show... it's so entertaining. And, even though my friends want her to die, I like the president. She has my same name--I must be loyal.

Here's a picture of one of our favorite pasttimes lately. Elena hasn't been napping well, so at least once during the day--either in the evening or sometimes in the afternoon--I'll camp out on the couch (suffer, suffer) and let her suck my little pinky while I watch TV. I had Andrew take a picture for posterity... sometimes I feel like I spend half my life with my finger stuck in her mouth. I've heard that the sucking reflex lessens at 6 months, so I'm looking forward to weaning her off my finger in the months to come.


This week we go to the pediatrician, so we're looking forward to finding out her stats. We found out that we can get free immunizations from a County Health Clinic, so we won't be getting shots at the doctor anymore, since our insurance is a deductable plan. That will make going to the doctor a little more enjoyable. :) It's a different doc this time, though, so I won't be quite as comfortable, but hopefully all will go well.

Hope you're having a good week. :)
