The "eye girls" at Daddy's clinic: Ellie, Maddie, and Tara




Hanging with the neighborhood girls: Addison, Ellie, and Maddie

Play time

"Hewwo?"


Ellie has THE BEST hiding spot :)


Wow! She's conquered "the big stairs"!




I made the mistake of slightly over-reacting this morning when a bug fell from the wisteria onto Ellie and me. Now she thinks every dark nick in our wood floor is a bug. She stands paralyzed, pointing, crying, and saying "Dug! Dug!" :(

Cutie Pie

Staring longingly at our neighbor's pool.

Oh dear

Saying "goodbye" to my baby and "hello" to my toddler

Walking our neighbor's dog, Molly.




Taking out the middleman.


Body parts :)


Big girl! Figuring out stairs.

Summertime...

...and the living's easy




Discovering sugar for the first time.


Terrible 2s...here we come :/




Hoe down

HENRY!!!!!

The first time Daddy got to hold him.


A rough start, but he'll be better than fine.


On the way to the hospital! Mama is a little emotional :)




This picture was taken Saturday night...we thought her little shoes looked so sweet on our bathroom floor.


This picture was taken Sunday morning. We found her shoes tucked away with ours in our closet :)

Family love

Daddy's Girl




Talking to Auntie Amy on the phone.

Cuttin' Up

Talking things over with Dad.




Feeling a little under the weather.


Copy cat.

Shenanigans in our NEW backyard!!

A play set in our very own backyard!!!




We finally own patio furniture - now we can have naked, messy lunches on the deck :) (Well, at least Ellie can.)




This is Ellie with our neighbor, Torr. The first time they met she walk across the deck and held her arms up for him to pick her up. Now they're best buds - at least until football season starts.










Mesmerized by our front-loading washing machine in action!
