Aunt Jen Arrives!

Aunt Jen came for a visit...bearing gifts and dinner! We had a great time with Aunt Jen!

More Vistors...and Baby Friends for Elle!

DeVita, Sara S., and Sarah L. came for a visit. Between Elle, Sara's Connor, and Sarah's Paige, it was like a U.N. Baby Conference. Aside from enjoying pizza and sides, the ladies caught up on what was new, while the babies devised new measures to tackle the freakin' energy crisis.

A Visit from the Littlewoods!

Dave, Sarah, and baby Paige visited us, and brought along a delicious dinner! We knocked down some adult bevs (excluding the babies of course), and enjoyed some fine sandwiches and such. Good times were had by all...the evidence was right at the bottom of Elle's diaper! Many thanks to the Littlewoods for coming to visit!

Granny, Great Granny, and Aunt Christy Come to Town!

Granny can't get enough of me! She rocked me most of the afternoon.


Aunt Christy got to hold Elle for the first time. She spent the whole day visiting with us.


Elle loved her first official visit from Great Granny!

Happy Father's Day!

Mommy only got a few cuddles today. Most of my time was spent with Daddy.

Check out how I spent my afternoon . . .

Cuddles for Dad on his first Father's Day! I snoozed here for a long afternoon nap.

My Week With Nana!

Nana came to visit me in the hospital the day after I was born. I could tell from that moment that she and I were going to be good buddies!


"Will you just give me a bottle already?! I love my Nana, but I'm tired of sucking on her finger."

"Who is this crazy man, and where is my Nana?"

My favorite place to be--snuggling with Nana. I like to do this best at 3:00 a.m.

"Who took a duece?" A special gift just for Nana!


Nana, Mommy, and I spent the night watching TV while daddy went out with his best bud, Jon. Happy Father's Day Daddy!


One last snuggle before Nana goes home after a very long week. Thank you for helping mommy take such good care of me. Love, Ellie

Uncle Jonny visits!

Uncle Jonny came for a visit on Friday the 13th! He came bearing gifts as well. In Elle's lifetime, she will have no shortage of laughter and fun around Uncle Jonny...and he couldn't wait to get started.

Check out his gift bag...

Elle's First Bath

You'd think a 4-person sponge bath and massage would be nice. Think again. Under my 'onesy' covered hand, I'm giving everyone the finger.

More Visits!

Pop Pop Ray, Mom-Mom Debbie, and Uncle Chad visited! Elle loved her Gerber daisies and small pink roses! Thanks for the yummy dinner Pop Pop and Mom-Mom!

Finally Home!

Eat, sleep, poop, eat, sleep, poop, eat, sleep, poop, swing, and repeat...

Visitors gallore!

Pop Pop Bob, Nana, Uncle Matt, Great Granny, Granny, and Aunt Christy visited and spent time with little Elle.

My first day on this nutty planet

Who the hell are all these people and what happened to the tiny jacuzzi that was my home?

At 5:24 pm on June 3rd, little Elle arose from the depths of her mother's womb and greeted the doctor, nurse, and stuptified father with cries of joy and relief. I got this on video believe it or not (the cries . . .not the birth)!

After a few coats of human-paint were washed away, she was sound as a pound...6 Ibs. 11 oz. to be exact.
