Dade is such a good big brother!!  I don’t know what I’d do without his help some days!

Ella’s a VERY smiley baby already but she also makes A LOT of very funny faces!  This next blanket is from Aunt Judy!

This white blanket was from a friend of mine!  Ella liked it more than she let on…

Then, last, but far from least…the blanket I (and all my siblings and children) was brought home in!

7-9-2006 Week in Review

Tuesday, in an apparent need to keep children busy while I hold my new baby…I pulled the gingerbread house kits out from under the stairs!  Christmas in July, People!  I’m cool like that.

Ella sure has a TON of personality!  I, however, am struggling to get a good picture of her!  I tried….and tried…and tried!!  At least I got ONE! LOL  (These pictures totally crack me up!)
