DeeDee's Visit, Concert and Wine Tasting

I feel like I write this on every blog entry but what a busy week we had last week. DeeDee came up to Charlotte to see Miss Ella. Originally we were going to go down to Seabrook for a couple of days but Ella was feeling a little under the weather and we thought it would be best to stay home so DeeDee came here. We had a blast shopping (of course), taking walks and DeeDee watching Ella so I could do some exercising. DeeDee's knee is healing great and is getting around so well after her surgery. She wanted to come see Ella and Dakota one last time before their big cruise next week.

After DeeDee left, at the very last minute I decided to go to the Bon Jovi concert with some girlfriends while Mike stayed home to babysit. The concert was great despite our seats but I guess that's what you expect when you buy them right before the concert. He put on an amazing show and all of us girls had a great time.

The next night, Mike surprised me and took me out for a wine tasting event. We got to sample some amazing wines from all over, have a great meal and listen to a fun band. They had a silent and live auction which was fun to watch and observe but I don't think we will be spending a couple thousand dollars on a bottle of wine yet! And the best part is that Ella did great with our babysitter and didn't have a meltdown like last week when we left so hopefully she is getting better.

Hanging out before bedtime. She really needs a headband to hold all of that hair out of her eyes:)

Happy girl! You can't tell in these pictures but Ella is getting 4 of her top teeth in right now so we have had some long nights. I also think that's what the not feeling well was related to as well. Now with her new teeth, she loves chewing and eating lots of new food. The other night, she ate asparagus, rice and Naan (Indian bread) for dinner and last night had snap peas and potatoes. She wasn't a huge fan of the potatoes so she must take after her Papa! But she does love her food, check out that double chin!!
