Should I be concerned that she appears to be quite possessive of her toys



Just hanging out

Just relaxing with my feet up

Many more pictures to come...

Ellie sporting new skills

This morning we were getting ready to head out and run a few errands...Pete and I were in the bedroom getting ready and Ellie was laying on our bed...she was laying against the pillows and rolled herself off the pillows onto her tummy and they proceeded to roll over onto her back. It was fun that we were both home and got to watch her do it for the first time all by herself. We turned her back over and she did it again, but when I got the camera she was all done performing. We took a couple videos after she woke up from her nap!!! They sure do grow up quick!!!

Visiting with Elizabeth and Henry

Last weekend Ellie and Mommy went to have lunch with Mommy's Friend Elizabeth and Henry.
It was fun watching the two kids together...

Ellie and Henry together...they are just a few days short of being exactly 3 months apart. Henry was born in Oct. and Ellie in Jan.


Little miss bright eyed Ellie

Henry patting Ellie...saying hey don't avoid me...want to play (apparently Ellie was playing hard to get)

Our flying girl

Happy Easter

He is Risen!

We are still here...

We are all still here, doing well!!! Have no fear it is not that I haven't taken any pictures...because I have...they just haven't been downloaded to the computer. Ellie went to the doctor several weeks ago for her 2 month appointment and shots. We have decided that we are raising a string bean with a slightly above average head. She only weighed a little over 10 lbs and dropped into the 28% for weight, however she is 24.5 inches long putting her in the 97% for length. Her head measured in the 6oth percentile!!!
I promise pictures in the next couple of days...she is still amazing us with how much she continues to change at a rapid rate!!!

Tate's turning 3!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tate, hope you have a great day! We love you!

Happy Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday yesterday Melissa...hope we can get together sometime soon!!!!

Happy 2 Months Ellie

Pete and I continue to love this little girl. Time is going by quickly and she is changing at a speed much to quick for her mommy. Smiling and "talking" are her tricks that she likes performing frequently. Most nights we go to bed and lay her on our bed and play with her and enjoy her smiles and sounds until it is time for her to eat and go to bed in her cradle. She is a great sleeper and usually goes 7-8 hours before she wants to eat again.

Pete and I continue to look at houses, hoping we find something soon. Pete's is settling into his new position at NIPSCO and I continue to do sports stuff at school, as well as other random activities. This week my parents came down and I subbed in second grade as the teachers daughter had a baby. WOW was that an experience...all went well, however they are sooooooooo little after teaching middle school kids. Ellie also spend some time with Aunt Alyssa, Tate and Cade while I was at school for the volleyball game. Enjoy lots of pictures from the last couple of weeks...

Enjoying Ellie before bedtime


Most mornings I have to search for Ellie under her blanket...and if she doesn't have a blanket over her head she burrow her head down into her jammies...how does she get her head in her jammies you ask...well I have no idea..

Our blue eyed girl

Happy Happy Happy... at least most of the time
