Two Weeks Old

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

I know I'm late on this post and you'll realize it too when you see two posts today of weekly photos, but I'll try to get my act together and post our weekly photos on Thursdays from here on out.

Since Ella was two weeks old the day after Valentine's Day and we couldn't get a good picture on Valentine's Day, we went with this! 

Too cute!  I love her little looks! 

And am hoping she'll grow into her little chicken legs, but we love everything about her! :)

Happy Two Week Birthday Ella!

Snoring...

Last night Mr K was snoring in his sleep...
So, I touched his nose...
Barely, I might add...
And he took his arms and started batting away with them...
Like there were objects flying above him...
It was quite comical. 

Wish I had my flip ready and recording...
But I didn't.
But now it sits bedside for just this reason...

Happy Friday!

One Week Old

Taking a page from John and Sherry over at Young House Love, I am taking a stab at weekly/monthly pictures of Ella on different fabrics.  They did this with their little Clara and they turned out too cute! 

Now I don't have a great camera, and the lighting in my house is kinda crapola, but I'm going to try. 

I had some leftover fabric from her sheets, cribskirt, and samples I'd ordered to see if we liked them.  I decided to start with an Ikat that we had. 

Here she is...

And instead of using Photoshop to edit the pictures since I haven't quite figured out my version, or if it's even capaple of doing these types of things... I decided to use Picnik which has apparently been absorbed by Google, but until it goes away, this will be what I use to edit my pictures. 

What do you think? 

I am hoping they will get better with time.

She's Here...

I know this is a bit late, but because I'm going to try to post all things Ella on this blog, and I've been on a crazy schedule the last 2 weeks, I'm just now getting around to it. 

We welcomed our little baby girl into our lives February 1st, 2012. 

She's been a joy. 

She's our little sleep and poop machine. 

Mr. K is amazed at how many diapers she goes through.  He is constantly telling her "60 cents" whenever a diaper change is necessary.  Apparently he either heard this from someone or did a little math on his own.  It's actually quite hilarious. 

We are thoroughly enjoying her and even though she's apparently inherited her great grandmother's and great grandfather's night owl genes.  She's wide awake usually from about 10-3.  Nice, I know.  The rest of the day she's sleeping.  We are hoping we get to see her big eyes more often soon! 

Going Home

Thanks for all the kind posts and comments on our babe.  She's sure to make her way out and about soon... she can't keep still!  Even in her sleep, she's moving and kicking those legs!  :)  I'm sure she'll be a wild child! 

First Family Photo

Dreaming...NO

Ok... so the other night in his sleep, Mr. K, started yelling...

YES... YEA...
NO! NO! NO! NO!  <---really fast

What do you think he was thinking about?
I think he thought he was at the hockey game he had finished watching right before bed!  Because I swear he was yelling that same stuff out loud when he was awake. 

Maybe I have my own Sleep Talkin' Man. Who knows?!? 

We're Going to the 'Ship... Wah!

Well, that's right... We're going to the 'ship!  Wha!  We going to the ship! 

Haven't you seen Hardball?  If not, please watch it!  Great movie, but that's what they sing... and it means they are going to the Champion ship game! 

Mike's team - The Cathedral Chatard Park Tudor Hockey Club (combined 3 schools this year) - is going to the State Championship game this weekend!  Woot Woot! Can you tell I'm excited?  As you can see from the above picture, I do kinda have a kid on the team!

We are super excited!  Mike has been in the State Championship game with 'a' team 8 out of the last 9 years he's been coaching!  Can you believe that?!?  Woah.  Last year was the only time they didn't make it! He usually does good on his promise to get them there!  And I say 'a' team because he's coached the Arctic Blast, the Racers, the Jr. Ice, and Cathedral Chatard all since I met him 6 years ago... I'm probably missing someone in there too!

But here we are (again)!  The game is this Saturday and while they are playing their hearts out on one rink, I'll be teaching on the other... oh the life of a skating family! 

Just a big good luck to the CCPTHC this weekend!  The Kellermeyer's are wishing you the best! 

Complaining

Do you ever feel like all you hear are complaints?!  I do. 

And I'm sure Mr. K feels the same way. 
I'm constantly on him to put his shoes away, hang his keys up, pick up the dog poo (which he did for the 1st time since we've been in our house - I usually do it), etc... I'm working on it...

Recently (Monday) I rearranged our bedroom and I think I love it and Mr. K thinks he hates it!  All I hear about is how he can't sleep when I get up because the lights bother him and he doesn't like things in front of the window and we need more lighting and you name it, he's said it.

All I have to say is I probably agree with him on most of these things...
But I'm pretty sure the lights didn't bother him this morning as he was
SAWING LOGS and SNORING like I've never heard before! 

I'm guessing it was fine last night, but I guess I have to wait until I get home tonight to see if he has complaints again tonight.  :)
