Bella’s Week

Bella is getting happier and happier every day!  We are loving it!  She is laughing and singing.  She is doing awesome!  I looked at a picture of our family last Thanksgiving and she was still totally on the vent.  I would never have guessed she could be here today!  So exciting!

We got to meet Sarah and Joyce Ely!  We were thrilled.  They were down here for a quilt show and they had lunch with us.  So exciting!  Sarah is going to be a great Aunt one day.  Not only did we have Bella with us, but also Joy and Alex.  Sarah was so patient with the girls – especially Bella.  Bella likes to touch faces.  I lost count how many times Sarah told her, “Don’t touch my face please.”  It was wonderful to finally meet them in person!

oh this picture…Bella had just finished watching Miss Rachel from Signing Time singing the wash hands song, so she was washing her hands in the dog’s water bowl (ick, yuck), but she was saying over and over again, “happy, happy, happy.”  Sweet girl.  I’m so glad she is happy and so glad she can tell me she’s happy!

She looks amazing. And boy does she look happy. What a road to arrive at this day Miss Bella. You worked so hard. Too hard on some days but here you are and looking incredible!

Meeting Sarah and Joyce ... totally jealous. Hoping to one. And hoping to get to you all one day soon. Sister in Houston makes that a very near possibility! How fun that will be!
