Ellie's Blessing

We blessed Ellie a couple of weeks ago. My mom is an incredible seamstress and made her sweet little dress.

Matt is

a kid with really cool hair,

our class clown,

a guy who isn't afraid of his feminine side,

possibly, a future rock star.

Abby Turns 5

We decided to keep things pretty low key for Abby's birthday this year. We went bowling with my parents and my brother's family. Abby was done with the whole thing after about three frames...kids!

Our primary put this sign up in our front yard for a few days around Abby's birthday.

Abby's favorite colors are pink, purple, silver, white and gold.

She loves all things princess. Her favorite foods are pizza, and beans & rice.

Her current favorite book is "Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She was Extinct", by Mo Willems.

Wait, Slow Down!!!

Time is going by too fast. Ellie is getting really big.

Just a couple of weeks old...

...a little older.

This is the last time those legs will be that skinny for a few years.

Let the premature hair loss begin. All of our kids go through their "male pattern baldness" phase. Ellie is well into hers.
