so ... ella james and her wink. my dad taught her that. pretty funny, right? ella is full of energy and spirit. she is the best thing i could ever ask to see first every morning, and last every night.

it has been an interesting 2 years ... making it through some interesting times. BUT ... it is all for the best. light at the end of the tunnel ... ella and i will be moving at the end of the year. this will be such a big step ... but one i am ready for and proud of. one thing i do not have, but learn every day is PATIENCE. this little girl has grounded me in more ways than you could know. and yet, her independent and wild sides make me so happy ... because it's such a part of me.
