So much has happened lately.....

So lots has happened since my last post. Elena turned 3!! Whoever said 2's were the worst they were lying!!!!! My once sweet little girl turned into this stubborn attitude having diva who is so strong willed that she is going to give me a heart attack. Yes, it is that bad! Ok, I'll stop complaining because i know I am blessed with her but yeah she is trying my patience! Anyhow, I have taken her out of daycare because I just didn't like the habits she was coming home with and I think the last straw was when she came home with hand, foot, and mouth disease. I know it happens, and kids will get sick and pick up stuff from other kids but really?? If you're kid has rashes all over their body, do what I did and take them to the doctor instead of daycare where all the other kids can get it. Luckily for us, it was gone within a week. So yes I took her out of daycare and decided to enroll her in several different activities. She was already doing gymnastics but now she is also doing, tap, ballet, and ice skating. She is doing really great in all of them. Everyday I am amazed at how big, beautiful, and bright she is. Here are some videos and a pic of her ice skating, gymnastics, and dance.

We've also decided to buy a house! We are trying to purshase a house in Ruskin, FL. It's a beautiful house, the only thing that is making it take so long is the fact that it's a short sale. We already put in a contract for the house, and the sellers agreed to it, now it's just waiting to see what the bank says. We are hoping to find out soon so keep your fingers crossed for us!!!
