sharks...

Miss Elle enjoyed her first ever aquarium experience with Daddy and I and her friend Trey! 

I remembered walking through with my Mom and watching Matt carry Aydan on his shoulders and us trying to capture some pictures of the sharks and penguins. 

Elle enjoyed looking at the fish and shark but more so starring at other kids. She loves people watching. Hmm-wonder where she gets that from? Sadly, though, we think her ear infection never went away...the tubes are working as the ear is draining but we think it's still around as she is getting up at night and it just looks nasty. She has to go back to the Doctors tomorrow so that means another day off for me....yep, another vacation day wasted on sickness.  Ugh, I would have much rather taken Tuesday off for her Birthday.  This is another example of why I need a Grandmother type around here. We are alone and have no options but ourselves. My Sister is scrambling today too. Tomorrow Aydan's school is closed. My Sister doesn't have any options either. Mom would be right there. It's hard. I feel for her. Not sure what she'll do....I wish I could help. 

Well, we are starting the countdown to Miss Elle's first birthday. We are still in awe that a year has flown by. It's heartbreaking to not have shared these memories with the both of you. It's simply heartbreaking.....
