A Visit From Aunt Sarah, Josiah, and Jack





Sarah and the boys came to meet Ellie and play with us. Right now Sarah and I have together have 5 kids three and under. Lets just say there is never a dull moment and nap time is wonderful!!! We have tried to take pictures for Grandma but this busy group is hard to capture. Here is what we have so far...

Kids at Play

...and here's Kate (she carries her dolls everywhere).

Jonathan was pretending to be a fireman and took a lunch break.
All of the sudden he stood up and said, "I need to go see how cute I am" and ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Ellie still sleepy...cuddling with her daddy.

More Random Pictures of our Family

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

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.
