Rocker Video

Here's a cute video of Ella in a rocking chair. This is especially for Daddy! :O) Every day after her morning nap she has a routine of grabbing a book and sitting down in the rocker. We're very proud of our little girl.

I'm pretty excited about fall; the warm colors are splendid and I love all the smells, especially, carmel pumpkin candles! Hope you also enjoy the fun photos of Ella in her Halloween outfit. 

Lonesome

Here are some updated photos of what's going on with our little family at the moment. Ella is exploring how to sit on rocking chairs, horses, and basically anything that is close to her level. I posted also a picture of Daddy playing football overseas and looking much messier than Ella does when she eats her yummy pasta dishes. Ella is a lot better balancing now when she walks, babbling a lot more, and has even learned some new words! Jonah is doing good; he says that he's not busy and ready to come home and be with his girls. Currently I'm singing in a local chorale and starting a jewelry/baby clothes business online.

Well, that's a brief update! "Lonesome" is pretty much how I feel for our little family right now until Daddy gets home safe. As always, please continue to keep our little family in your prayers. We love you all & miss our friends & family that are miles away! :O)

Fun up in Michigan

Hello! I just wanted to post a couple more fun photos taken during our 3 weeks together up in Michigan. Their are some really cute ones of Jonah & Ella. 

Briefly, Jonah is over in Afghanistan; I'm not going to go into detail on his whereabouts, but I'll keep you updated as much as possible. Also, If you're interested in sending him packages please email me & I'll give you an address. I should have the address within the week. I know that he'll need food that is ready made because it's likely that he's not going to have electricity. Books, snacks, photos, & letters would be wonderful, and the more packages sent, the better. It's going to be another long approx. 7 months for the 3 of us not being together. Please keep Jonah & his team in your daily prayers.

Enjoy the photos & thanks for keeping us in your thoughts!! Lots of love!!

Ladybugs!

Here's the pictures from Ella's little birthday party taken last Saturday. We had a lot of fun & it was a great celebration. I'll be posting up more photos throughout the next couple of weeks from our 3 weeks spent together up in Michigan as a family. We've some cute ones taken at Jonah's grandparents house while spending a weekend with them & having lots of fun in their pool.

Right now Jonah is back safe in So Cal. He is to be deployed soon; please keep him & our family in your thoughts and prayers; especially for safety over Jonah. I'll continue to keep you all updated. Thanks for all your love & support. ~E, J, & I

This Monday I start week

Ella's 1st Birthday!

Today was a blast! Ella started off as chipper as ever. She had so much fun opening her presents. We started off this morning with one & she opened 3 more throughout the day. Her birthday cupcake was a big hit. We had to stop her during the enjoyment of it because we didn't want her to get a belly ache. It's hard to believe that she is one year old already. The year has flown by. Anyways, this is going to be short b/c I want to go spend time with my hubby. We've one more week together until he has to head back to So Cal. We're not looking forward to being away from each other for so long. Please keep him in your prayers for safety so our little family can be home together again in the spring. Thanks for all the love and support. ~E
