Im 3 weeks old and I had a swell weekend.

Hi All -

So Ella had a pretty awesome weekend. On Saturday a.m. we loaded up the family car (Ella drove as usual and Pops gets stuck in the back seat) and went BACK TO IKEA. Gluttons for punishment after the mini fiasco last weekend when Pops almost ran over some people who were trying to set 'The World Slow Walking Contest' in a line. Anyway, it went a lot better this time. We got a new bed. Now hopefully we'll all sleep better although it's not like I'll have any more room on the bed. Even Bob the cat is a bed hog. Ella and Mum take up about 80% of it and then Bob sleeps at MY feet. I think they all think its really funny that I have to sleep in an L shape with half of me off the bed. Bah.

Then on Saturday night Ella partied hard with Shannon, Nick and Jenn. We all had pizza and salad except Ella who passsed on it for her favourite grub: Le milk followed by Le Burp and then Le Poo.

During the party Shannon and Nick were negotiating for a house so that was pretty exciting for Ella. She got upset at one point because the people who were selling refused to budge on the price. Ella sent Nick out to 'convince' them otherwise. She would have gone herself but it was a good party so she sent 'the help'. Seems like it worked and Nick and Shannon are sitting pretty so kudos (our new Neighbors who promised ot come over and cook every weekend).

Sunday evening we went to G-Ma and G-Pa Kirklands for a delish dinner. Ella was fussy and played a few notes from her backside which made everyone laugh. She sang a few bars of Opera for Granddad (see photo above) – good range for a 3 week old. Then Pops changed her and she waited about 3 minute before going again. Read back to 'Not All Sugar and Spice' about this fun game of Ellas.

Thats all for now.

Goodnight from Ella, Mum and Dad.
