We went down for the day yesterday to Ft. Wayne.
Ella got to visit Grandpa at work!
Lots of hugs & kisses from Grandma & Grandpa on our first stop!
Playing with Great Grandma
Fascinated by Great grandpa's overall buttons!!

Especially loved to play with Grandpa's walkie-talkie!!!:) All in all it was a great day!! Especially spending time with Daddy & Mommy!!

Memorial Weekend

We went to Golden Corral on Sunday afternoon. Ella decided she wanted to eat the plate:)
After church Sunday night, they had ice cream & watermelon. Ella took a big bite of Dan's ice cream when he was talking to someone. She really enjoyed it:)
Memorial Day, we went to our church's cemetery where they had a special service. Ella was smiling cheesy the whole time:) You can really see her bottom teeth & now a top one is coming!!
She looked so precious in these pics that I had to post them:)

Aunt Jenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aunt Jenny came to visit Tuesday. Daniel & I picked her up from the airport & we went straight to my dad's baseball game. After that we went to Cracker Barrell!! It was soooo much fun! Ella loved being around Aunt Jenny! She would smile & laugh & bounce around really excited:)! We went out to eat & shopping & just enjoyed being around her:) . We already miss Jenny! Come back soon:)!!!

Take me out to the ball game.....

Last night was the start bof baseball season for us. Of course, it had to be 50 below:) Ella was just fascinated by everything!!! My dad umpires the little guys 4-5 yrs. old. They are so cute to watch because they are just learning the game:). Like the little boy who just stood there watching the ball which landed next to him:) or the boy who ran the wrong way:). I love to go out & watch them play & all their relatives jump & cheer for them!

EJ meet EJ

Emily Jane meet Ella Joy
The moms, Becky & Audrey
The dads, Daniel & Nathan

The babies, Ella & Emily


After church yesterday, we decided since I wasn't feeling well that we'd just pick up something & go home when Ruth said Nathan & Audrey are in there!! We were in college together on the same bus route. They had a baby girl 5-6 weeks after Ella. They are on deputation to the Philippines. Emily was so smiley & happy & adorable!! It was great to see them!

What is this?........

We took Ella outside to see the flowers & grass yesterday & she looked at it like this doesn't feel like my blankets? It didn't stop her from pulling up the grass though:)
