I distinctly remember a pair of black spandex with neon colored stripes on the side that you wore with brightly colored "wind shorts"....oh wait, was that me or you? Can't quite remember anymore, could've sworn it was you! <br />Anywho, thanks for the memories. Ella looks adorable in them and she is getting so big! I miss her so much. And that smile on ol' Eves just melts my heart. <br />Thanks for the great update. Yall are doing a wonderful job as parents and I'm so proud of you two. Keep on keeping on! Glad you got to get away. <br />Love you so much. <br />Now I've got to try to block out the memory of what standing in line at Six Flags smells like...thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208548461559245344.post-74660982771131555512009-10-29T21:50:43.893-05:002009-10-29T21:50:43.893-05:00I only wish 1/2 of the people who wear spandex loo...I only wish 1/2 of the people who wear spandex looked as cute as Ella does in them!

I think the Grandmas need to do a guest post to tell us all about keeping the Carder girls! I am so proud of Ella - crawling, follow-up appointment, green beans, cake, and all! There is nothing wrong with doing a victory dance for every bite! Maybe you guys can incorporate the "hot dog" dance. Always a crowd pleaser! I know the days seem long but you are doing such a great job and I am so proud of you!

I am sooooo happy for you guys that you got away for five days~ that must have been so good for your souls. I continue to pray for Ella's feeding progress~ it can just be so stressful. Your family table sounds a whole lot like ours....nothing like the constant sound of gagging and or puking to keep us on our toes!

I think the same people who wore the spandex were rockin' the big tanks AND their fanny packs. Oh the memories. . .<br /><br />I'm so glad that you and Rick got away. That is awesome. I hope you slept in, ate long meals and enjoyed every minute of not being in charge of anyone but yourself. <br /><br />I know that I say this every time I comment, but I am endlessly amazed at how patient and positive you have been throughout the last 2 years. I know that you have down times where you feel worn out and overwhelmed, but to the rest of us, we just see strength and faithfulness. And I love that your honest about it all. Praying daily that the Lord will give you more of what you need to make it another day in paradise, and continue to heal and grow sweet Ella Hope!<br /> Love you, Amy!<br />SummerSummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698666688993530495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208548461559245344.post-38224742394952392472009-10-27T20:26:23.448-05:002009-10-27T20:26:23.448-05:00Ahh, spandex.

They had cool stores where in each cubicle was a different UNIT and all different colors. That was a good look. <br />So happy to see how well Ella is doing under your amazing care.

I do remember too many people in spandex. Spandex should be outlawed except for babies doing therapy like Ella. Do you hear me, all of you awkward college students at UT who shop at American Apparel? Seriously! Also, spandex and Ug boots are not a good look for anyone. <br /><br />I always love hearing your updates. We love you!<br /><br />JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
