Missing Home

Dear Family & Friends,

Ella & I are still visiting family up in Tennessee (about an hour east of Nashville). We've been having a lot of fun, but are lonesome to get back home with Jonah! Luckily that is this Friday! Jonah has been away training the past 2 weeks. Sorry that the information is so vague, but I'm sure you understand. Anyways, we're looking forward to spending a relaxing weekend together as a family.

Ella has learned the words dog & cat while she's been at grandma & grandpa Bruner's house. She goes up to the glass door everyday (numerous times), points at the animal & then says either "dog" or "cat". She's so cute. She still has "Ma ma & Da da" down & "Ba ba" for bottle. She's realized how delicious some foods are, so now whenever someone is eating a snack she fusses for a taste. LOL. She's a very active little girl & incredibly close to walking. We've been practicing a lot at grandma's & are looking forward to showing Daddy as soon as we get home.

Our plans are still to come up to Michigan in early August & we're looking forward to visiting with everyone again. It will be the first time that we've been together as a family during the summer up north, so we're pretty excited!

Well, I just wanted to send a quick update. I'll try & keep everyone updated more often than the past couple of months. Sorry that we don't have any photos. I forgot my camera on this trip & mom doesn't have the cord to transfer the ones from her camera. Anyways, lots of love! Please keep our little family in yours prayers. We are doing lots of traveling, moving, and headed toward another stressful year of being apart from each other.

Elizabeth

Happy Memorial Day & a big THANK YOU to all our military. We will always be grateful for the sacrifices you have made for us.
