Turkey Day is coming!

We will be in Loveland, CO this Thanksgiving - we fly out on Wednesday morning. We'll be staying with Maia and Steven at their new place and the rest of Seth's family will be there too. We are really looking forward to it! It will be great to see everyone, and have a fabulous meal together (probably quite a few!). AND we get to meet up with our friends Courtney, Jon and their little girl Harper over the weekend. Ella and Harper are only 2 weeks apart... it'll be so fun to get them together again, and the parents too!

In case I don't get back to post before we leave, hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with great food, family and friends!

Gobble, Gobble!

Cheers to the happy couple!

So guess what? My little brother is engaged! Congratulations Gabe and Nancy! We are so very happy for you both! Yea, I get a sister in the deal too!!!

Look, Look!

See! Ella does have a tooth (with the size of the pic, I know it's hard to see - but you can imagine it can't you?). Still just one for now, but it looks like the one right beside it will be popping in soon.....

11 months old

Since I've noted pretty much every other month, I've got to post a Happy Birthday message to Ella today. 11 months old! She is such a big girl these days - soon to be toddler!

Open House

Last Saturday Zac and Kristen had an open house at their place, so everyone who hadn't seen their new house could take a look. Lots of people and great food! Ella was a bit of a crank, and managed to bang her head on the coffee table at least once (maybe that explains the crankiness....). We had a good time - thanks guys! Hope you both had fun! It seemed like everyone else was. Here's a cute pic of Kristen with Miss E.

Serena the Saint

Ella is so curious these days, and gets into everything. Serena is one of the things she loves to investigate....and we are blessed to have an ultra patient dog. Most of the time, the hair pulling and climbing doesn't seem to bother her much at all. She just gets up and relocates if it gets to be too much. Anyway, we're thankful for our Serena!

Mommy's Little Helper

Ella loves to help with the laundry.....

Isaac is 1 year old today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ISAAC!

(Just so you know.... this is his Halloween costume. He doesn't dress like a sheep dog every day!)

Standing on her own 2 feet

Ella's got this standing thing down pretty well now.....She cruises all over the place - holding on to things as she goes, and every once in a while lets go as she takes a step, but she grabs on again with the next step.

Happy Birthday Uncle Zac!

What's wrong with me? I remembered Zac's birthday on Monday, but didn't blog about it. I suck. Here I am trying to make up for it...... Hope you had a great birthday (actual date 11/3). Thanks for having us last night. We had a great time hanging out with the family.

Boogie Fever

Ella loves to dance. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of music it is..... as long as there's a beat! Sorry about the sideways video. Blogger won't let me rotate the video for some reason.....
