Zoe is chowing down

We have had so much going on in the last week! The big news is that Zoe is ready for food!and she actually seems to like it- Ella made many angry faces about food before she came to love it-
You can see from the picture that Zoe still isn't sure how to go about eating just yet- but we are trying our best and she is happy whenever she sees the spoon :)
I also made an attempt to get some pictures of my girls today- I let Ella hold Zoe for the first time- but it turns out, Ella doesn't like sharing her seat. The only way I could keep them close for a picture was to have Ella give Zoe a kiss. Zoe looks worried in this picture- I was worried too.

Ella and Zoe also got a sandbox this week and 2 power-wheel toys! I am having a hard time teaching Ella to drive- she loves just siting in it- the fact that it moves is completely over shadowed to her by the working horn!
And it took us 3 days- but the livingroom is no longer yellow! I could not be more thrilled about it!
We tried to take down the built in entertainment center- but not only did the old owners hammer, nail and bracket it to the wall- ya they glued it too- This thing was built to last through Armageddon. - so we painted the back of it to camouflage it. We will have to take the wall out to get rid of it- so in the mean time...

I think it all looks so much better-

I also turned a year older last week! Aunt Nancy got me this pretty cake- and for some reason assaulted my husband...whatever- I guess its a trade off.

Zoe at 4 months!

So this is a pic of Ella at just about 4 monthsHere is Zoe at 4 months...
I'm seeing a bit of ella in Zoe- and yes that is my foot in that picture <3
Four Months is really exciting- she can roll over and play with toys more. Ella is having fun playing with her more and more-
Zoe is mostly sleeping at night- which is great for me!
Ella, of course, has to do everything Zoe does- We couldn't find her yesterday- and here she was- just like Zoe does...

and this week I reupholstered my first object! It was our new to us yucky orange rocking chair.
Before
After!
I cut up our old curtains to do it- and for my first time its not so bad-

Party at our place!

Well - We have been super busy since I opened the new practice-It has been really fun and things are going really well-

In the mean time- the kids are having fun doing kid stuff- here is ella having a tea party for her princesses-Joe and I are having a party Friday night- right after my root canal (sad)- He got the screen up and hooked up some games the other night. Our neighbors came out and cars stoped to see what we were doing.- It was pretty cool- And while I was trying to get some work done...and not on face book...ella colored our new couch with oil pastels. It was so bad I had to laugh. Luckily mommy has the cleaning skills of a cheetah- and since cheetahs don't clean- you can still see some of the green and purples on there...
