Ella was putting on a puppet show for some kids we were watching tonight. After she was done she came over to me and said, "Mom did you see that? When I was doing my show...I was making everyone laugh and I know I am not suppose to laugh, but I couldn't help it! I was too funny!"
I was watching lots of kids and everyone was playing in the loft. Russell was crawling around enjoying having so many kids to look at. I was sitting on the couch fixing a dress up dress, looking up occasionally to check on things. I was looking down sewing when I heard, "Look at Russell!" I looked up to see the cute little boy halfway up the side. That was quite a surprise! He has not even gotten good at pulling himself up on furniture let along up a slide. It was so fun. We all ran to be by his side and watch him. You could see the look in his face go from excitement to one that he was so proud of his accomplishment. Priceless!
It is now officially. Russell climbs up the stairs. It was quite a surprise when I found him half way up the first time after leaving him to crawl around for just a moment. He is FAST! And he can climb all the way up the slide now as well. I can not let that boy out of my sight ;)
I was checking things on the computer and Gordon was waiting patiently for me to be done. I said, "just give me a minute okay." Then all of the sudden he yelled out, "That's a minute!...I counted to 60" :)
Ellanor had her wedding party this weekend and it was so much fun. It was so fun to see her and all her friends dance around in their wedding dresses. When it was time for presents Ella was opening them and was being very polite and saying thank you to each guest after she opened them. Then she got an envelope from one of her friends and she opened it up to see $15 cash inside. She quickly stood up and went straight over to that friend and gave her a big hug. Everyone got thanked but the one who brought cash got the hug ;)
Such a fun week. I love this time of year with all the birthday's coming in a row. I love to throw parties and see my kids having so much fun. Gordon has requested a 'minute to win it' party. Stay tuned :) (And soon I will be updating the blog with pictures of the wedding party.) --www.earlfamilyblog.blogspot.
From Grandma Nielsen: What a fun week! I just have to add this from when you were here 9 days ago. Ella, the fashion diva, looked at the necklace I wore to church and said, "That's a pretty necklace Grandma, where did you get it?" I told her that Grandpa bought it for me when we were on our vacation last summer. She looked at me and said, "What did you get for him?" Good question Ella! I need to be as thoughtful of Grandpa as he is of me.
