Spring Time

Watering the flowers before waching the cars.



I am so glad Spring is finally here. Now if it will just stay warm and the cold be gone. Ella Joy is changing so much each day. She is acting so grown and we are enjoying a little independence. Along with this stage comes more discipline. We are dependence upon the Lord for wisdom in this area. I fear messing her up, knowing that we are all "messed up" and that is why we need a Savior. Thank goodness He came!

Here are some pictures of Ella Joy planting flowers with us, helping daddy wash the cars, and just playing around.

Easter Recap / Spring Time

So for Easter of coarse, Ella Joy would be sick so there are no family pictures this year. She had pink eye and couldn't be in the nursery at church. My ever so thoughtful mother - in- law volunteered to keep her so Trey & I could go to church. It was so sweet of her. Plus she didn't feel great and she was able to get a head start on preparing lunch (which was delicious!). So here is a picture of Ella Joy getting her Easter Basket & passed out watching The Jungle Book while we all enjoyed Easter Lunch.

Still Here

We are still here. I don't have pictures uploaded yet, but I will soon. The latest milestone for us is Ella Joy is in big girl panties. I am not sure whether I am excited or sad. I think a little of both. Excited that we can save money since we won't be buying diapers and proud of our little girl and this milestone in her life. Sad for me, because reality hits and reminds me that she is growing up and isn't so little anymore. We are still working with her on recognizing when she gets that feeling she has to go, but so much of this comes with the help of school. They take them to the potty often and she has been going to the potty for some time. Just recently has she began putting something in the potty. So here's to our little, big girl! Ella Joy, mommy and daddy are so proud of you!
