A Visit to the Petting Zoo

Ellie's first visit to a petting zoo.

Feeding the animals

It was a beautiful day here so we went with some friends to a nearby petting zoo. Katelyn and Jonathan had a great time. Jonathan had so much fun I had a hard catching a good picture of him.

Ellie at 4 Weeks

She smiled for this picture.

Ellie taking her first bottle. She took it no problem, I even gave her part of it.

This picture is kind of funny. Ellie actually doesn't really like her pacifier.
She is doing great. She slept through the night once (we'll see if it was a fluke). She is busting out of the newborn clothes. I might have to put some of those away. We find out tomorrow how big she is. Stay tuned...

Ellie at Three Weeks

Chaun and I think she is getting so big already! It is kind of sad but we want her to grow of course. It goes too fast...
She is still a very sweet, happy baby and she still loves to cuddle!

More Fun With Josiah and Jack

Josiah had a puppy hat he let Jonny play with. Jonathan loved it and pretended to be a dog whenever he wore it. It was pretty funny. His dad wasn't too sad when it had to go home with Josiah.

Katelyn LOVED this toy. She played with it the whole time Sarah was here.

I took this picture to show the difference between Jonathan and Josiah (oops I was trying to get Jonny from the waist up). The two boys were playing at the water table. Jonathan was soaked...his clothes, his hair. Josiah was completely dry and dressed.

They even let Katelyn join them.

By the end of the weekend the boys were finally playing nice together.

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.
