Hang on for a wild update

Well things here at the Varga house have been rocking and rolling.

The Tuesday after Mother's day Luke got really sick. He woke up with a fever of 105. I wanted to take him to the ER, but he wanted to take some aspirin and give it some time. I was not keen on the idea of waiting for the seizure to happen. While he was sick the van broke down and I had to take it to the garage at my Mom's. He ended up just having a really bad cold, but it kept him in bed for a week. WHAT FUN!!!! I got the car fixed on Wednesday and by Friday something else went wrong with it. So I had to take it back. So, I have Luke in bed sick, a broken car, Ella has three parities to go to, I have daycare, and Wegmans, Ella has a trip to the fire house and We are suppose to leave in week to go to New Hampshire. I ate a lot of chocolate.

Luke got better, the car got fixed. Ella did get to the fire house, but she was very afraid. After what happened at our house this past fall she is not so sure of the whole fire fighter thing. She had worked herself up to a tummy ache with diarrhea. Then it came time for swim that week and she freaked out again. Crying, diarrhea, and refusing to go to school. Finally it come out that she did not want to go underwater. So we got that taken care of. Then we headed for New Hampshire.

It was a lot of fun to see Cammie and Greg and the kids. I love to say that.

The first day we were there we went to a playground to play. Ella got to show off her daredevil side. Ana also enjoyed the playground.

Then on Saturday we went to Ian's baseball game and then to the ocean. Ian is a great baseball player. I think he has a future with the Red Sox. At the ocean we had a picnic and then played on the rocks.

Then we went inside the seaside museum and looked at many different animals. They had a talk about lobsters and we went to that. The kids were able to get up close and personal with them. Of course Ella would not touch it.

All in all it was a great trip. While we were out there Cammie took some new photos of Ella and Luke and I. So be watching for them.

Once we were back I figured Ella's bowel issues would straighten out, but they did not. She would complain of bad tummy aches and just be miserable. So off to the doctor we go. She is still having trouble with constipation and we are going to see a specialist next week. Hopefully we can get this under control, because she has really been miserable.

Here a few of Ella's most recent get ups. The first one is her diving. The second one I call the young redneck cools off, yes that is a tattoo on her belly.

Then we went to a circus that came to town. She had a great time. She rode on her first pony.

Then we went in to see the show. I did not get any good pictures of the acts, but I did get some of her face. She was just in awe of the acts.

Then it was off to my Mom's to help with the garage sale. Ella was very busy there. My Uncle Smitty was the new favorite target. She and Uncle Smitty bonded over his dog Dina. Ella just fell in love with her. She got to take her for walks, and everything. She even saw her poop which was very exciting for Ella. Ella wanted to take flowers to my Dad and Grandma's cemetery, so we bought some to take to them. At the store where we bought the flowers Ella explained to the cashier that they were for her Pa and Great Grandmother and that they were dead and they did not have voices anymore and that the angels come down and took them to heaven because they did not have wings yet. The poor cashier did not know what to say. Then that night Mom, Ella, and I took the flowers to the cemetery. While we were at my Grandma's Ella asked where Great Grandma was. We again explained that she was in heaven. Then she asked where their bones were. We told her that they were in the ground and that their hearts and souls go to heaven. Then as she is standing on my Great Grandfather's grave she asks, can we dig them up. My Mom explained that no we could not dig them up that they have to stay in the ground so that they are safe. Then Ella took a few minutes and just sat by herself and seemed to be reflecting on my Grandma's grave. It was really weird. My mom and I were not sad while we were there. Then off to my Dad's cemetery, she did the same thing there also, just seemed to get very reflective while she was there.

Then the next night she picked a bunch of my Mom's daisies and wanted to take them to the cemetery. We told her that we were not going back. So she decided to use tape and tape them all to the front of the garage so that they could see them from heaven.

Yes, Dad she put tape on the garage. It is alright though it all come off.

Then this last week has been very difficult with the bowel issues. She acted out so much that at times it was unbearable. So for the time being I have gone down to working only one day a week at the grocery store. Just so that I can spend some more time with her and try to figure things out. The appointment on the 25th can not come soon enough.

Now on to Father's day. Well Friday night we all went out on the boat and enjoyed a little relaxation. When we got back to Phil's Ella had to use the bathroom. Now here is another great Ellaism. She goes in and has a bowel moment by herself for the first time in a long time. She comes out and says "I went poopy all by myself and I blew air out my crotch." Luke and I both looked at her and said what did you say, she repeated herself. We asked her if she meant that she farted and she said yes. Boy the things these kids say.

Then Saturday morning Ella took Daddy and Grandpa to breakfast at Denny's. Then Luke and Phil went golfing while Ella and I went grocery shopping for dinner. Then Mary joined us all and we had a cook out.

On Sunday morning Ella woke Daddy with his gift.

Yes I literally meant woke him up.

Then we went to breakfast at the airport that Phil flies his RC planes at. Then it was boat time again. Ella is getting much more comfortable in the water. She even went without hands. Then it was back to our house for another cookout. Luke even wore his present.

So it was been a wild few weeks and I do not expect it to slow down for about 20 years.
