"E" is for Elephant
















Twas all Hallow's Eve, tricker treaters about,
When what did we spy, an elephant snout.
For one little girl was dressed all in grey,
and when you opened your door,
"treat" she would say.
Yes "E" is for Elephant this Halloween night,
and Ella Celeste was quite a cute sight,
She was the cutest little animal we ever did see.
Ella our elephant all filled with candy!

How cute! I love the pics. And, you look so good! I'm jealous of your weight loss. Did you lighten your hair? It looks good.

Anyway, I'm sorry you are feeling'stuck' lately. You are not a bad mom nor a bad social worker! Maybe a lot of the feelings come from Ella having to go to real daycare now. It was hard for me to leave Jones when I was working. Especially as he hated daycare. Even though he was in a good home daycare, he cried the entire time.

I think your feelings are completely normal. John Paul's solution is that you can come live in OUR basement. But, I don't think that would solve many problems except that MO is a lot cheaper than VA.

Anyway, I don't have any advice, just sympathy. Hopefully Shawn's work will pay more than expected and you can go part time or quit altogether.

Love - WrayLynn

How very appropiate that your little Ella was an elephant! What an adorable little get up. I am especially fond of the weighted belly. It looks like she had a fun little Halloween. I love your poetic style of writing for this entry. How very "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" of you :) I love it!

The first thing I did today when I got to work was get on your Blog to see Ella's costume. I knew it was going to be a good one! I love her!

Well, I am crying right now missing that little hug-a-bug girl. Reminds me of those days when Craig and I would take the kids around trick or treating. We miss you all so much.
