Trampoline!

A few weeks ago Elli jumped on a trampoline for the first time. She was not so sure about it at first. She enjoyed jumping while I was holding her on my hip, but didn't like that it wasn't solid under feet. She has a little bit of an issue with flexible joints, which makes her fall easily, so this was like doubly hard to walk or keep balance. She did eventually, though, really REALLY like running around and jumping by herself! She thought it was so much fun and just laughed and laughed! We need to get back over to our friends house soon and let Elli and out friend's son (a few months older than she) jump and play on it.
Here she is getting comfortable in between my friend Jill and myself.

Braver! Jumping!!!

Woohoo!!! This is great!!!

On another note, I've been busy and feel so bad that I haven't been blogging or keeping up with this very well. I was offered a job to work in my church office 4 days a week, and felt like it was the right thing to do right now. With the way the economy is and we don't have a lot of money (but who does, right?! - If you do, why don't you hop on over to my etsy shop and support a starving artist - thought you wouldn't think I was "starving " by the size of my hips! Lol!), and before we have another child I would like to help us out with our income more than I was. I just feel like I am contributing more if I do. I know, I know, raising Elli and taking care of my house is a huge contribution...ugh. I am still torn. I've only been doing it a week and a half and I completely miss Elli like crazy all ready. I held her too long while I was rocking her to sleep, and screwed up her nap. She just woke up WAY too early! Argh!
I'll try to keep up better. Now I have pictures on my computer and it will be a lot easier for me to do it for a little while.
