Afternoon at the House




We had a relaxing afternoon at the house. Ella got a birthday present in the mail. You can tell what entertained her for many hours . . . It was picture day at school. Hopefully we won't have as many retakes as last year!

Funny Girl








Some pics of Ella being silly. She is quite hillarious these days!!

Dallas October Visit
















Last weekend we made a quick trip to Dallas for Luke's birthday party. We had a great time seeing everyone. We spent Friday afternoon with Jenny, Derek, & Jules. Nana & Papa came over to the Kellogg's for dinner Friday night & we enjoyed staying at Jenny & Derek's new house. Saturday morning we went to Luke's 2nd birthday party at a park downtown. Then, it was off to Meme & Pop's to spend the afternoon & evening with them, Cynthia, & Arturo.

Ella's 2 Year Portraits


































Family Pictures


















We had a photographer (husband & wife team) come to the house a few weeks ago. They got some amazing pictures of Ella & some great family shots. It was so nice & comfortable for Ella since we were in our own home. They took outside pics & set up a backdrop in the media room. They included a CD with every picture, which we have the rights to print wherever we like. I would highly reccommend them to anyone in the New Braunflels/San Antonio area!

1st ER Trip



Ella's 1st accident (happened a couple weeks ago) resulting in a trip to the emergency clinic. She cut her chin pretty good while playing outside. Nothing a little glue & butterfly bandages couldn't take care of. She was a tough little girl through it all!

Parade & Fair









I'm going to back up & post a few pictures from the parade & fair. It's so nice that every year Ella's bithday weekend is accompanied by the Comal County Fiar & the festivities that go along with it. This was her 1st year to ride the midway rides & we could not get her off them. We learned that the $20 all you can ride wristband is worth it - good to know for next year. She was such a BIG girl on the rides all by herself!
