Ella's idea of crawling!

Happy Autumn!

Here is to a wonderful Fall with all of the upcoming holidays!
To start fall off - Ella is getting on all fours and rocking back and forth. She takes one crawl forward and then falls flat on her belly! We crack up...
It is fun to see her wave, say ga-ga-ga and da-da-da, and laugh at everything! She will be 7 months old in another week...time is flying!

Ella's Cousin Jackson...

we are so excited to welcome Jackson Robert - Ella's cousin- into our world. Jackson was born yesterday at 2:52pm and was 8.1 pounds! We saw him at the hospital last night - what a content, alert little boy. I can wait for these cousins to play, learn and laugh together as they grow up!
XOXOXO

Our Sweet Critter...

Boy oh boy did this puppy lead a beautiful life! Britney passed away today...she will be missed so much! Last weekend Dave and I went over to my mom's house to get a picture or two of Ella with our favorite pup! We got Critter in 1994...
Rest in peace sweet puppy. You were so loved!

Sweet Potatoes....
