Ella Squared

Aunt Ella was in town this weekend for Chase's farewell. He leaves for Ireland on Wednesday. Here Aunt Ella sits by Renee and holds EL at Michelle and Brad's.
Uncle Jim came, but caught a bug and stayed in bed. What a way to spend vacation. Sick in bed!

HI there,
I couldn't see a better way to contact you, so I hope this is okay.

Also, you don't have to be a Mother to be a great Doula...just as all nurses, doctors, etc., are not all parents, you just have to have a desire to learn all you can, open your heart and serve with a smile.
It really is a wonderful career. Good luck!

Andrea, from what I read on your comments it looks like you may be changing careers. You would make a great Doula! You are kind, compassionate and very, very patient. (at least you were with me) Looks like your family is experiencing a population explosion. What a great sugar Aunt I bet you are.

PS. Isn't momza's blog awesome?

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Puttin' on the Witch!

Tonight, the majority of my family met at Gardner Village for dinner at Archibald's and then planned to wander the Village. It's Witchapalooza and witching time at the Village. By the time we finished dinner, most of the shops were closing. We looked around a bit and snapped a few pictures. I'll post them another time. The witches and pumpkins and Halloween decor was frightfully fun, but I don't think I've had such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I wish I could say that the restaurant was packed. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances we weren't aware of. Maybe it was an off night for them. Maybe I'm just grouchy. Birthdays sometimes do that. Guess I'd better see the Witch Doctor or something to get it straightened out. The company was grand: mom and dad; Adam, Renee, AJ, and EL; Nathan, Bekah, RD, and AM, and me. Their service gave us a lot of time to sit and visit. RD and AJ were darling. Both were in very good moods. RD had on hi
