Ellie got a big surprise one day at Preschool. Grandad and Fran came and picked her up for an afternoon of fun. She had a great time walking and running around the golf course. She even had Fran join in some mischievous behavior by throwing Christmas bows off the second floor landing. Ellie helped make Uncle John's birthday cake and she paid special attention to the placement of all the sprinkles. I report that Uncle John never got to eat his birthday cake since Grandad and Fran were over last night and brought it with them for our dessert. It was very tasty and I am sure Ellie will be happy to make Uncle John a replacement cake. A big thanks to Grandad and Fran for wearing little Ellie out.

A Day Out With Grandad and Fran
Ellie got a big surprise one day at Preschool. Grandad and Fran came and picked her up for an afternoon of fun. She had a great time walking and running around the golf course.

A Whole New Attitude!
Let me say a big thanks to everyone and all their kind words during the last month. I am finally feeling back to myself. I have been through a miscarriage before but did take this one much harder than the first. We were able to find out the reason for the miscarriage and that has offered me some answers. The fetus had 69 chromosomes instead of the normal 46. It was a blessing that it happened when it did since many women carry to full term in some cases. I am scheduled to have some testing done on my hormones and egg production in the next week or so. I am eager to figure out what might be the issue and hopeful that we might of just been unlucky twice and the third time will be the charm.
The good point of this whole situation is that I know how lucky I am to have an amazing husband and daughter that help take all my sadness away. I realize that Ellie is a blessing and if she is the only child that I ever have than that will be okay. She's perfect...most of the time.
There has been lots of big changes with my new attitude. I switched real estate companies which has been wonderful. I am now working with Century 21 and we have offices and Arlington and Ashburn. I still enjoy the ability to work from home for the most part. I jumped started a work out routine that was long overdue. I'm taking classes at Natural Fitness Studio in Purcellville and love it. I am always challenged with the classes and feel that I got a great work out. My goal is three times a week for exercise and so far so good. I am hoping to kick up to five days but sometimes the schedule doesn't allow for it.
Now, let's get back to the fun things to blog about and that is Ellie Belly!
