Our family may have changed but we are still a family. This is a blog dedicated to the Little Skillz family - Mommy and Ella. Our new journey is just beginning and though it may be a little scary - It is also exciting! Join us for the journey!

Ella's 1st day at her new school!

Ella went to her new school this week and so far so good! She has adapted to all but the early mornings as we got in a routine of sleeping in this summer. It was tough for Mommy so I understand what she is going through!
She is learning lots and playing with lots of new friends. There is also a bit of a safety net for Mommy and Ella - her school is across the street from my high school! That is good for both of us! ;)
Next year will be tough for me...Kindergarten! Where has the time gone???

Rewards!!




Ella stayed in her bed for 4 nights straight so she got a reward of us going to Chuck E Cheese! As soon as we walked in Chuck E was right there! She got to dance and get free tickets from the man...well...the mouse himself! Then, best of all, a hug from him! Then pizza and playing!! We all had fun! Ella and Daddy even got in a well-played game of air hockey...then a challenge...Mommy and Daddy played a tough game with the puck flying off the table several times and there is no comment on who won...remember who does this blog!! :)
So hopefully more rewards to come for her staying in her own bed!!

Meredith's Shower


Mommy and Ella went to our 1st Baby Shower together! We went to Meredith's shower for her and Blake's baby girl...coming around the holidays. Her name will be Kennedy and we are very excited! Ella met another Ella - Meredith's niece and they were wonderful helpers! We had to include a pink and white baby basketball as one of our gifts and Ella really wanted to give Kennedy a pink musical puppy from when she was a baby. It was her idea but later she asked about it. Meredith offered it back and Ella said no that she really wants Kennedy to have it and she will just miss it. So sweet!
Best of luck Blake and Meredith and may your lil' girl be as amazing as ours!!

Our Last Trip to the Zoo for awhile



We took a trip to the Zoo since we were in the area and had a great time. We are really going to miss it now that we live so far away! We went to the sea lion show in hopes of saying bye to our buddy Robbie the sea lion and he happened to be one of the sea lions performing! Ella cheered for him with all of her might!
Then we went to the Children's Zoo and saw and played with lots of stuff and Mommy even let Ella run through the fountains...and get a little wet...well...she was soaked but at least it was a hot day and she dried pretty well!
We also got in another visit to the sting rays! Gotta love those! So cool and beautiful!
We'll be back...it'll just be a drive!
