better than ice cream
sunday morning i got to see my ella!
i got her up and "we" made coffee (she loves helping me, and gets this beaming smile on her face when the coffee pot magically starts percolating), and we went outside to enjoy the weather. it was almost 60 degrees yesterday, and we couldn't bear to be inside. the sun felt so good as i sipped my coffee and ran around the yard.
when we came back in, j. was still in bed, so i told elenora to go say "get up daddy" and she actually did toddle into our room and say "get up, dadda!" until he got up. too cute.

we walked to breakfast at sophia's. they love us there. as soon as we walk in the door the entire wait staff smiles and waves and calls "hello, ella!" on our way home we saw an open house sign pointing to a condo across the street from us, so we decided to stop in and look. ella was really ready for a nap, though, and as soon as we stepped into the condo she burst into tears and said "home! home!"
the condo itself was nothing very special. except for the price, the location and the slightly bigger space, it wasn't that great. it's so sad that a small condo that is barely bigger than our apartment sells for $219,000 still around here. when i buy a house i want it to feel like i'm getting a house--not an apartment with a mortgage. but tomorrow i am going to meet with a realtor for coffee to talk about things. i feel like if the right thing opened up at the right price around here in the next couple of years, we would go for it. i can see us living here forever. so creating a relationship with a realtor who can look out for that place will be a good thing.
although i really have no idea how buying a house goes.
(i'm cooking my corned beef right now, and it just smells amazing.)
after ella's nap we took her to manchester-by-the-sea to a playground right by the ocean. she was having a ton of fun climbing up a blue baby slide and then sliding down it. and we put her on the swings, which she's always loved, and she kept saying "swing!" we stopped by captain dusty's on our way to the car and split a pumpkin ice cream three ways. elenora loved it (we haven't given her much ice cream in her life) and kept saying "ice cream! eat some!"
i love being home with my family. ella is so much fun.
this afternoon before her nap she asked for a book and i gave her one and i said "here you go" and she responded "here you go!" so now we're moving on to 3-word phrases, i guess!

What a happy post. I bet Ella was very happy to see you Sunday morning. It's fun to picture Ella helping you make coffee, playing by the ocean, and asking for books. Let us know how it goes with the realtor tomorrow. Love, Cristy
