Merry Christmas!

More Birthday Pix!

Ella Grace is 2!

Happy Birthday Ella Grace!

What a great birthday Ella had. Aunt Rachel flew in from the Bronx, and we had a party at Chuck E Cheese for Ella and 7 other children. 

The next big event is Christmas cookie baking which will begin first thing in the morning. Right after mommy has a big mug of coffee! 

Happy holidays to all!

Happy Halloween 2008!

We hope everyone had a fun time trick or treating. We had a late night but it was fun. 

Maya turned 4 months old yesterday on the 31st. She is getting so big! Holds her head up and can almost roll over.

 13 lbs and 23.5 inches long. Ella and I took her for her 4 month old Dr. appt a couple days ago. All went well, except for the shots :(

Ella has started going to a playgroup a few times a week and just loves it.

She is going to be our little social director, LOVES meeting people, especially those her size. She was so enthralled by the other trick or treaters and having to stop for a meet and greet each time we passed someone it took us a bit longer. :)

Ella is also a comic, loves to make us laugh and she is so random. We have no idea where she comes up with her  bizarre antics but she sure is funny, if you have not met her or seen her in a while, you need to stop by. She"ll get you right out of a bad mood. I promise, you will forget whatever ails ya, at least for the time you are in her presence.

Ella very much has a mind of her own, as you can see by the photo of her under the carriage. I was calling her to come into the house after playtime,because I needed to tend to a fussy Maya. After a while of Ella NOT cooperating I had to go and at least set Maya down so I had free hands to deal with Ella.

Ella's new thing is hiding. I guess she figured I couldn't find her under there.

Blessings for a lovely fall

Its apple picking time!

What beautiful weather we had in Kentucky the other day! 

Scott and I took the girls to Hubers and they got to pick apples and peaches. Ella had a ball. She would pick an apple take a little bite out of it and then throw it. I won't mention that her daddy taught her that little trick :)

 She did not know what to make of the skin, so she spit that out. Pretty cute!

The talking tree was a HUGE hit as well. 

P.S notice that farmer Ella has on her green apple T and overalls for her apple picking expo. A girls gotta coordinate ya know! She is my daughter. haha

Last weekend we had our last round of visitors. Aunt Barb from Lincoln, and cousin/godfather Jeff from Denver. It was a nice visit.

Visitors

Late August early September is a time of visiting in KY. It all started with meeting their Grandpa for the first time and followed up with a visit from Auntie Rachel from the Bronx.

All our visitors will wrap up this coming weekend with cousin Jeff from Denver and Aunt Barb from Ne. We will post those pics later.
