'Thomas the Tank Engine'

Year number 3 for "Day Out With Thomas. It was great!
Caden still loves trains, but the novelty of Thomas has worn off a bit, in my opinion.

Preschool 'Goodbye' Day

Cade had a great year at Jacques's Preschool! Mom, Dad, and Ellie attended a great 'Goodbye Day' program/ceremony. We've come a long way from all the tears to lots of friends, learning, and fun!

Congratulations Caden S.!!!

Ellie's "little" Surgery

Last Wednesday, Ellie had tubes put in in hears. We are glad there are options for her ear infections. Grandma Thomas needed these options when she was little.

Ellie did great. I was dreading the moment they take her away, but they got her loopey enough that she couldn't have cared less...which was fine with me, given the circumstances.

Ten minutes later, literally, they brought her back to me, crying. She had to hang out and cry with me for a half hour before we could go home. She took advantage of that, and I felt terrible for her, but was relieved it all went smoothly.

Ellie was playing around the minute we got home. Later, we had an "Ellie's Special Day", celebration, which included a "store-bought" cake with flowers on it. Cause she is Mommy's little girl.

Love you so much Elizabeth Jane!
