More Random Pictures of our Family

Ellie did great at church. She slept through the whole service.

Family photo after Ellie's first Sunday at church.
Take one, Jonathan loves Katelyn too.

So our living room got cleared for a football game. The swing ended up on the deck and Katelyn crawled in to watch the game.

Jonathan loves her. He is always kissing her and hugging her. He wanted her to have his pillow and blanket...so sweet.

Sleepy girl! She is a great sleeper.
I usually only get woke up once in the night around 4am.

Fall Festival at Southern

This face sums up the night...
FUN!!!

This was so cute.
Jonathan could hardly stand up holding that blue thing. It weighed so much it pulled him over, but he loved being a big boy and trying.

She also rode the merry-go-round. She held on tight all by herself (but still no smiles).

Katelyn went down the slide with Chaun too.
I just couldn't get a smile out of her (I think she was a little sleepy).

Jonathan and his friend Jack ready to ride the airplanes.

This was Ellie's first big outing. She did great!! She slept through it all.

This was his favorite but he needed Chaun to ride with him.

Every fall Southern kicks off the school year with a Fall Festival. I think it gets better every year! There was lots of free food, treats, and rides. Jonathan was so excited he didn't eat a thing.

Ellie again

I have to keep posting pictures of Ellie for all the far away Grandmas and Grandpas. She is such a good baby! She is so sleepy...but I did catch her awake a couple of times.

Thank You Grandpa and Grandma O

My mom and dad made it about an hour before all the excitement began. I was so thankful they were here. It was so nice to be able to relax at the hospital knowing my kids were in good hands. It was also really nice to have my kids at their own home. Of course who doesn't have fun (and get spoiled) by Grandpa and Grandma. Thanks for everything mom and dad! We were so glad you could be here to welcome Eleanor into the world.

My three blessings: Jonathan, Katelyn, and Eleanor

Sisters in their pretty dresses. I hope they are best of friends.

Here are some more pictures...Grandpa and his girls

Big Brother and Big Sister

Jonathan shared his fireman outfit with Kate...
She is a pretty cute fireman!

What a clown!!

Katelyn loves her little sister too (maybe a little too much). She loves to climb up on the bassinet and say hi to Ellie. She laughs and says hi and then usually ends up poking her in the face. Poor baby...she is loved though.

Jonny LOVES to hold Ellie.
He asks me to take his picture almost every time he holds her.
He's a very sweet big brother.

My mom and dad came to help us and brought Jonathan this fireman outfit. He LOVES it!!! He runs around like he's big stuff. Sadly Grandma started on fire many times. He usually saved her but he might need to be a little faster if he wants the real job.

Going Home

Chaun took Jonathan and Katelyn to the store and got me flowers, balloons, and peanut butter M&Ms. Chaun picked out a "It's a Girl" balloon and Jonny said "That is too girly!" He insisted on the Happy Birthday balloon because he got a card with those same characters on it. We decided it was a Happy Birthday to Ellie balloon. He also picked out my pretty flowers.

HOME SWEET HOME!!!

Getting the royal treatment...wheeled out.

Ready to go home...they always look so little in the car seats.

Ellie wrapped up sleeping before we head out.

Chaun and I had a fun relaxing time in the hospital. It was kind of like a little vacation. On our last night we played a game of Settlers (the card game). It was fun!! It was even more fun because I (Becky) won.
