My Slide

Ella Joy really loves being outside, to point of crying when she can't go. It doesn't matter if it is cold, rainy or warm. She wants to be outside. She received this slide for her birthday. Her dad put it together on Saturday and we have played each day outside on the slide. We tried to get a few pictures of her.

Ella Joy turns 12 months

I can't believe how quickly a year passes. All in 12 months Ella Joy has gone from being a newborn to her own little self. She hit some milestones the first year such as; sitting up, crawling, rolling over, walking, getting teeth, coming off the bottle, eating real food, the list could just keep going. She changes so much each day. She is trying to talk now. It is so much fun and truly children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3.) "Give thanks to the Lord for His love endures forever" Psalm 118:1.

Happy Birthday

We celebrated Ella Joy's & Addison's (Hope's little girl) this past weekend with our families. My mom (Nana) stayed a few extra days to help out with Ella Joy. I thought this picture was really sweet of them. There will be more pictures to come.

Outside

Ella Joy loves to be outside. This is her car to received from Mimi & Papa for Christmas. The weather has been so cold that we haven't been able to get outside much. However, on this particular Saturday, Trey was planting flowers and working in the yard and she thought she just had to be outside. She has so much fun! I can't believe she'll be turning one on Tuesday. The first year has flown by!
