After her second day this week without a nap, Ellie crashed early this evening and is letting her mom and dad get some tasks caught up around the house, and by that I really mean, relaxing!
It's been a big week for her between her glasses fitting on Monday, her appointment with Dr. Taylor on Thursday, and play group today. At Thursday's check-up we learned that Ellie has gained a whole pound in the last month and grown about an inch taller. She also got four more bandaids between her two thighs (from 4 shots) and was not happy about it one bit! In April she will return for several more! At the same appointment, a peak in her right ear revealed the early onset of an ear infection so Mom made an unexpected stop at the pharmacy for some antibiotics, grateful it was caught now and that we didn't have to endure a painful weekend with Els until the doctor's office reopened on Monday!
Today Ellie got to meet some new little friends, many of whom are also adopted from outside of the US like her! Someday I hope I can get a photo. I realized this evening that they were all alive a year ago and living thousands of miles apart on three different continents but due to God's providential hand are now living with families that all happen to call Wilmore, Kentucky home! How amazing is that?
To our families and friends in the frozen North, it's also cold down here too, but believe it or not, we have no snow. Send us your photos!
