SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!
We got another bout of snow and I got to stay home from school for Inauguration Day. Sophie sure had a lot of fun in the snow that day!

Ella's eye appointment
Today we had to take Ella to a pediatric optometrist for the lump above her left eye, which she has had now for about 2 months. The pediatrician had thought there were two possibilities: a clogged tear gland or a cyst. Well, today we learned the bad news... it IS a cyst. They will have to wait until Ella is at least 6 months old and then they will surgically remove it. 
Fortunately, these type of cysts are typically not cancerous and they will remove it in whole so that it will not have any chance to reform later. Of course, this is still a little scary for us, but, as the optometrist told us today, if this is the worst that ever happens to our little Ella, we should consider ourselves lucky. It is a simple outpatient procedure and should heal well (as it will be a cut on her eyebrow so the hair will grow in and the scar will not be noticeable later on). Our appointment will be on April 9, and she will have a follow up visit the following day (on Good Friday).

Christmas Photos
We drove 11.5 hours to Sarah's family's house in Pemberville, Ohio for Christmas and Ella was really great! I couldn't believe how well she traveled. The main thing that slowed us down was having to stop every 3 hours (or less) to feed her.
Here are some pictures of Grandma & Grandpa Lohrbach & Aunt Kate with Ella.

Photos will be coming...
I have had many people asking to see new photos on our site. I assure you all that I plan to update this weekend.
As for me, I'm barely surviving. This was my first full week back at school and Ella's schedule has been thrown into chaos because our schedule has changed. Monday night she slept well, but Tuesday night I was up 3 times and Steve got up once for her. Wednesday night she fought off sleep until about 11:30. We hope tonight will be better.
