Lazy Sunday

After an awesome pancake breakfast that Drew made, we found Ella "hanging out" watching Mo Mo. She works so hard, poor baby!!!

Hanging out with Dad

Poor Ella

We have discovered the Ella likes cleaning. Drew put her to work on Saturday while I went and had a mani/pedi with Lindsay!!!

Ella has discovered how to open the can of formula on her own...lucky us. She likes to eat the formula dry...yuck.

Just hanging out in a basket...

She is definitely loving crawling into things. I keep magazines in this basket, well, I used to. It has now become her rocking basket. What an imagination!!!

A Perfect Fall Day

We had a couple of beautiful days last week, so Ella, Lily and I took advantage of them. Ella ran through the piles of leaves I was raking and threw them all over the place (very helpful!!) She loves being outside. She gets so upset when we let Lily out and we don't "let her out," too.

Baking Machine

This was my latest baking extravaganza for Drew's to use for marketing. Between my friend Lindsay and I, we baked 25 loaves of bread!!! It was a blast!!!

She Sleeps...

It is very very rare that Ella falls asleep in the car these days. The other day we were out running errands with Auntie Lindsay, when we realized we hadn't heard from Ella in a while...she had fallen asleep without making a peep. I, of course, had to take a picture of her sleeping in her car seat.

Meet Our Nephew!!!

Drew's sister, Leslee, just returned this evening from Rawanda with their son Nathan. He is absolutely precious. Leslee was in Rawanda/Ethiopia for the past two weeks. They were welcomed home tonight by all of Drew's family and all of Anthony's family. Sweet Nathan did such a great job with everyone. He was a little overwhelmed but he did awesome!!! Ella was so taken with him as well. They bonded!!! We can't wait to spend more time with our new nephew/cousin Nathan!!!
