Thankful Tuesday

Ten things I'm thankful for right now:

1. Todd and I have found a church that we feel comfortable at and enjoy trying out.

2. Getting to shave my legs today!

3. My house and not having to move to a new one.

4. Fitness bootcamp because I don't have enough self-discipline to make myself exercise.

5. My sister who is baby-sitting Ella so I can go to bootcamp.

6. That Ella's eye patching went by very fast with no fussing and no naps in between. She's such a sweet baby.

7. Having a fenced in back yard to let our dog out.

8. That some of Todd's family got to come visit Ella and us this weekend.

9. Having a husband that helps around that house.

10. I'm very thankful that it's bedtime!

No bread for Ella??

The other night we went out to eat with my family, and we decided to see what Ella thought about table food. She has never had any before (she is still toothless!!). We gave her a little bite of a roll, and she didn't seem to know what to do with it. She acted like she didn't like it. I can't imagine a daughter of mine not liking bread!!! We'll have to try again later.

Thankful Tuesday

Here's what I'm thankful for today:

1. My family--my husband takes great care of us, and Ella is the sweetest baby. They both make me very happy.

2. This warm weather we've been having.

3. Sunglasses to go along with the sunshine!!

4. Getting to eat lunch with my husband.

5. My husband starting to work in Jonesboro this week. This means less driving and more time home with us.

6. Electricity--our's was out this morning just when I needed to leave--with my car stuck in the closed garage so I had to manually open and close it!

7. Not having to pack to move--my husband has to pack his current office, and my sister and her family have to pack to move to a new house.

8. Flip-flops

9. My extended family--love being close to them and our kids getting to grow up together.

10. I'm very thankful that my husband works so hard so I can stay home with our daughter. He's such a great guy!!

Ella's first day of shorts!

Today was the first time the weather was warm enough for Ella to wear shorts, and luckily I had just bought her some, so I thought! I had bought the size she has been wearing, and the shorts were sooo short on her!! You can't tell this in the picture, but they were short. Ella's poor legs are short and chubby, and she has got some booty. This combination made her first pair of shorts be "booty shorts". Mom will have to do better next time (or dad will take over the shopping!).

Welcome to the Dobson Family blog!!

I've decided to create this blog to help me share Ella growing up and our changing family with all of our family and friends. I am excited to show off my sweet baby girl to all of you. Please bear with me because I am new with the blogging world; I am still learning how to do this. I hope you enjoy reading about us and looking at our pictures!
