Back Under the Big Top


Well, here's a funny story...

It has been 17 months since I started blogging.
The funny part is that this is only my 2nd entry! LOL!!!

So, we added a new little "Ella-fant" to our Cirque du Slape. Now, we are officially a family of 6. To quote Gabby, we are "Love times 6". Now, isn't that just sweet like cotton candy? You wouldn't think that having a 4th baby could keep a technology-saavy mommy from blogging here and there, but, it did. To make things more interesting, the Cirque du Slape got a new BIG TOP. Yep, we moved. So, see, blogging became the caboose on the circus train of life. Moving along.....
In August we took our little "Ella-fant" to see her first Ringling Bros./Barnum & Bailey circus. Oh, what a refreshing diversion that was!!! EVERYONE enjoyed the show. It was AWESOME....and even better than I remembered.

Favorite Memories:
  • Abigail making her own circus balloon at home and taking it to the circus to show her excitement PLUS, holding a REAL elephant's tooth that was bigger than her head & neck!...
  • Sophie wearing her bright pink & green Hello Kitty tutu and festive hair accessories, desperately wanting the $15.00 bag of cotton candy....
  • Ethan, pouting about not wanting to go to the "dumb circus" and then having a FABULOUS time dancing to the music and "clowning around"!...



  • And Ella, standing in my lap, bouncing to the music for at least an hour, then falling asleep on Cary's shoulder. Wait, is that Daddy yawning???? Drowsiness must be contagious.


    Oh, what precious memories that will last a lifetime.
