Hi All

Things are going well here, Ella had her first "play" date today with her friend Calvin. He is 2 weeks older than Ella and the son of our friends Tiffany and Josh. He is such a cutie and so mellow compared to our little pistol! And love that hair and his little nose! Tiffany, Calvin, Ella and I enjoyed a nice walk today in the balmy 50 degree weather-- I know weird for December in Maine. Especially after we just had an ice storm this past weekend. (more on that later)

Then Calvin and Ella hung out in the crib and enjoyed the mobile- before Ella became miss stinky pants and had a fit! Anyway here are the pics of them "playing" together-- so darn cute.

Well as I mentioned before we had a bad ice storm here in Maine- we lost power Saturday morning and got it back Sunday morning. So not too long a time but long enough with an infant. We were lucky to have great friends in Portland who still had power who offered us a place to hang most of the day Saturday. It was a good time visiting with Deb, Paul, Abby, Mike, Lily and Noah. We are very thankful to have power back- especially heat back! I don't think Ella noticed much though- she was bundled up in her snow suit and luckily her swing works on batteries so not much changed for her! 

Anyhow our little girl is 4 weeks old today- pretty crazy! She has her doctors appointment this Wednesday- I am eager to see what she weighs- she has been wanting to eat more frequently lately so I think she must be going through a growth spurt! Anyway I better sign off but enjoy the pics of Ella & Calvin playing. Also a few pics of Ella and her dad hanging out! 

Love, Sheila, Jake & Ella xo
