Summer Fun!

Ella is walking! She started taking a couple steps about 2 weeks ago & now is all over the place with it. She falls frequently, but luckily she's close enough to the ground that majority of the time she's OK. She's so much fun. Today we went down & played some soccer & let her get out of the stroller & walk around on the grass for a little bit. She enjoyed herself & we had fun teaching her how to kick a ball. We also have been going to the beach a lot lately & bought Ella a little swimming pool to kick around in. I hope you enjoy the pictures & that the video works out for you. I haven't figured out how to down size them yet; I'm going to play around with it more this week. Hopefully I'll get a good one up and going for you all to enjoy! Also today we started dumpster diving for packing boxes. We're getting a little head start so that things aren't too crazy. We're looking forward to a long 4th of July weekend together. Lots of love! ~J,E, & I

Our Baby Princess

Ella & I made a trip out to Babies R Us today to get some goodies & got suckered into taking some photos while I was there. Ha! They turned out so cute that I couldn't resist & ended up buying a couple prints. How can you resist with this cute little face? It was fun though & I think Ella enjoyed the attention. Ella took 5 steps the other day all on her own. She loves learning new things & especially investigating new things. She's so cute! Anyways, it's Friday & we are totally excited about being home together for the weekend! Have a blessed weekend!

Da Da's Day

Happy Father's Day!

It was a great one indeed. We went to church in the morning & had coffee with friends afterwards. Then some friends came over with their munchkins to celebrate Father's Day at our house. We all cooked out, had burgers, brats, & kabobs, & had some excellent maccoroni. Mmmm! Not to mention yummy icecream cake and blueberry pie for desert. (No, I did not do all the cooking.) Haha. I've some super cute photos to post below. 

Here's a brief Ella update. She has for sure been experiencing a serious growth spirt. She's eatting more, drinking more (actually able to guzzle down a full 7-8 ounces); she is so close to walking & acting so much like a toddler already. For instance she gets very fussy when she doesn't get her way especially when she can't chew on things like plastic bags. LOL. She's a hoot! 

Well, this weekend we realized that we will be leaving for Tennessee/Michigan in 6 weeks! Wow; time sure is flying by. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. 

Ella excited in the cry room at church.

That looks comfortable.

Ella loves books!

Mmmm!

Our little 10 month old

We're home! Well, we've been home for a couple weeks now. It's great to be together. Things seem to always be a little crazy & eventful in our life. We had a lot of fun last weekend visiting with some friends of Jonah's & attending a baptism for our local buddies son. This past week we have been able to spend time together in the early afternoons b/c Jonah has been able to get home at a decent time; next week we probably aren't going to be so lucky. Tomorrow we'll be having a little Father's Day cook out with some friends & their families at our house. We're looking forward to that along with all the yummy food that will be arriving. This is going to be a short one. I'll post photos from this week for everyone to enjoy. Lots of love!

Ella out for a stroll!
