It's tough being Ella...

Makenzie's First Day of Kindergarten!

Seems like just yesterday we were bringing our itty bitty Makenzie home from the hospital in Enid, Oklahoma. Now she is starting kindergarten in Charleston, South Carolina. I must admit I was really nervous about her starting kindergarten and even toyed with the idea of homeschooling her. But, she is doing AMAZING!! I am so proud of her and the little girl she is becoming! Her school is fabulous and she is really coming out of her shell and having a great time!

MiMi and Papa's Visit to meet Ella

Sorry about the lack of pictures! Been kinda busy! Anyway, Ella's been with us for 6 weeks now and we love having her in our family! The girls are doing amazing with her and love cuddling with her and helping me out. She is a such a sweet baby girl!

Ella's First Bath

Ella didn't appreciate being wet! But she sure smelled great afterwards. She slept for a long time afterwards!

The first week with Ella--they are in backwards order!

Ella is a week old already! We are all getting adjusted to her but she is a very easy baby and making it easy on us! She still sleeps a lot, but we love her classic wrinkled forehead face! The girls love her pirate face when she only opens one eye. They are very good big sisters and love to help. Tim's parents drove down the same day Ella made her surprise appearance and they decorated the house with pictures on the garage door and streamers on the inside. We are so blessed to have Ella in our family and are happy to have had the extra week with her!
