Ellasyn.5 Months

What a joy the last month has been watching your personality shine through!   

You are so engaging.   It is fun watching you take in your environment, how you learn from what you see and mimic some actions of what others do.   You are at your happiest in Mommy's arms but you will let Daddy comfort you if Mommy is not around.  Your brother always knows how to bring a smile to your face, and sometimes tears to your eyes when he forgets how small and fragile you still are.  

I am amazed at how much you are changing and the little girl you are becoming.  

Happy 5 months sweetheart!

Blackberry Farm.2012

We had a wonderful day at Blackberry Farm!  The weather was cold but the sun was shining to make the day bright and a bit warmer.   We went on a train ride, a tractor ride, and carousel.  We visited the one room school house, old town museum, log cabin, and blacksmith.  It was so nice spending the day with Grandma and Grandpa making more fun memories!!!

Trying to keep warm as we walked through the farm.  It was a cold day.

Grandma and Grandpa with Dave and Ella on the train.  Ella enjoyed it!

And of course, E liked the train ride too!

These little tractors were adorable.  E enjoyed riding everyone of them.

Not in the mood to pose for another picture.

Apple Holler.2012

Apple picking this year was fun!   A bit different with 2 children but another memory that will have for years.  Evan loved the tractor ride and Ella took everything in.   Looking forward to all the fall activities coming ahead!
