Flowers

Dear Hannah,

I'll have pictures of the bump after this weekend, don't worry. But here is a funny flower story. So, last weekend, I helped out with the middle school musical. My job was to make sure the kids put their props back in the correct place and cue two techies when to push on sets. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. My sweet mother came to the production with a big bouquet of flowers. One of the students in the audience asked my mother, "who are the flowers for?" She responded, "My little girl." "Oh, what part did she play?" "Well... I guess she's not that little." Then she had to awkwardly explain that I wasn't IN the play, I was a teacher helping out with the play. I got the biggest bouquet of all the kids and I was thrilled! I love my mommy.

Here are some pretty pink roses for you - wish I could hand deliver them!



Here are pretty flowers made BY you -



It feels good to be back!
Love you,
Ellen

Do you know how cute your house is? Next up...post of YOU. Your house isn't pregnant. Haha. But, I'm really really proud of you for posting...just gettinerdun!






In other news, I miss flowers. And you. How about bringing me both?

Oh...and...what would you do with the piano if you moved it? I do like that spot.

Finally

Dearest Friend,
I've decided to come out of hiding and finally post again. Oh, and I'm pregnant! But, you knew that. Anyway, there is a lot to catch up on. First of all, I went to IKEA last weekend with my friend Bijal and had a blast! My purpose in going was to fix two problems we have in our living room.

1) We have no storage except for the cubbyholes in our coffee table.


2) We are using a piano for an entertainment center. Not efficient use of space exactly.



So, I got a new Expedit! It's 2 squares by 4 squares. We're thinking about putting it either under the Rwanda painting in picture 1 or in place of the piano in picture 2. What do you think?

Another problem to solve. This is going to be the baby's room. Oops.



I'm open to suggestions!

It feels good to be back :)

Love,
Ellen
