Photo shoot at Pioneers Park

Updated House Photos

We still have lots of work to do but here are some photos I took when our house was super messy, don't ask me why I chose this day to take pictures! You can see some of the changes from the previous post.

Trick or Treat 2008

Happy 1st Birthday Ella Marie!

Dear Ella,
Happy 1st birthday, we have enjoyed having you this year so much. You are such a joy and give the best hugs and kisses. I love to cuddle you and change your diaper, you laugh and play and its fun to spend time with you. You love watching Claire and hope one day you will get to play with some of her stuff. You love your family and are a little scared of everyone else. We are so blessed to be able to watch you grow and learn, you are another gift from God. We love you so much little peanut!

Love,
Mama and Dada

Ella is walking!

Ella will be 11 months tomorrow and has been walking for about 2 weeks. She gets better everyday, both girls seem to enjoy each other more as the weeks pass. We have been busy working on the house, we hope to move in the end of September now. I will upload photos after we move in.

The latest

Ella is 10 months today! Here is a list of her latest milestones. She puts her hands in the air when you say "So Big" or "Touchdown" (Matt tries to confuse her). She claps her hands when you say "Yay Ella". She pulls Claires hair (naughty), she says Mama all the time (Matt instantly replies with Dada). She is almost waving bye-bye, she moves her hand in the correct motion but hasn't quite gotten it yet. Grandma Hein taught her to give hugs, she also gives kisses and says Hi sometimes. Where does the time go, next week she will be in High School.

Claire is doing good, we have been swimming a lot at the apartment we are living at. Claire's favorite thing to do is go to her best friend Heather's house. We have screaming tantrums when it's time to leave. Well sorry it has been so long since I have posted, we are still trying to get the house done. Love you all :)

Our new house

We bought a new house in Lincoln that wasn't quite finished yet, the builder went bankrupt and we got it for a great deal. It has 3 bedrooms and laundry on the first floor with an unfinished, walk-out basement. We have about 2 months of work to finish the main level. We are so excited and will keep you posted with photos along the way. We hope to move in September 1st, hope is the keyword in that sentence.
