Happy Birthday Ella Rae!

Show me your tongue!
Cake! Num Num, have some mom!

So cool.

Hello? Beckett? Marah? is that you?

Our surprise guest!

I can always count on Granny Dianny to not let me starve.

Well a year has gone by and I would have to say it was the best year of my life and I think Bobby would say the same. We had no idea that this business of being parents would actaully be so fun. So Ella is officially walking ( I will try and upload a video). I could do without the crashes that lead to the hold your breath screams. Other than that is is pretty cool. She has lots of sign language-thank you, more, food, water, milk, bath, help, and all done. She doesnt quite get when to do the signs but we are getting there.

So, the birthday-it was a blast! We had a little BBQ with a few friends and family. The weather was great and Ella seemed to get a kick out of the presents and cake. We were even so lucky to have a suprise visit from Aunt Bonny! The cake was the first sweet treat she has ever had, so that was humorous-She loved it!

So back to teaching in a few weeks for me. It will be nice to have one job instead of figuring out how to make it work with several small jobs. Ella will go to a daycare called The Teeny Red School House 3 days a week, Bobby will be home with her the other 2 days. (http://www.crestedbuttelittlered.com/) if you want to see pictures.

Well, here are some pictures (note that the cute green and yellow sweater was made by Aunt Linda).

Bye for now
