Days with Ella

(This pic was taken a few weeks ago)

I am a part time teacher. I job share in a fifth grade classroom with a friend and love how well we work together. My mom is on her way to California to spend some time with my sister and her family. I know she is super excited. Since she is there I had to work 2 1/2 weeks straight because mimi is a big help for our family when it comes to childcare. Today while ella and I were playing I looked at her and said, "I am so glad to be at home with you today."I look forward to the next 2 weeks that I get to spend with her. Today she gave me two big kisses on my lips and hugged me. She clapped yesterday when I walked into her room after not waking her up on a week day for a while. She hands me books and grunts until I start reading. To sum it up.....I love being a mom and I am looking forward to the days ahead with ella.
