FINALLY!!!

My dearest friend in the universe, Bonnie, is now "officially" Ella's Godmother! They finally got to meet in person that weekend and it was love at first sight!

Bonnie brought Abby a present for her birthday...some fancy Hannah Montana purse thingy. Looks like a lot of work. Abby adored it!

This is my Godson and Bonnie's son, Jaden. We had a great time together and we played with Abby, Sam, Francie, and Amelia over the weekend. He loves movies and brought a few with him for all of us to watch together. He and Bert watched "Sharktales" twice!

Ella and GrandDad

GrandDad came over after the Baptism had some time with his girl.

After a bottle, they played and played and played

Ella's Baptism

Ella was baptised in April at Palmer Church. Here are a few pictures!

This is one of my work friends, Tammer. I work at a very small, recovery-based High School called Archway Academy. With only 4 staff members, our daily lives are very busy trying to help these teens get their diplomas in a sober environment. I am very blessed that my co-workers have become my dear friends and consider all of them family. Tammer, Becky, and Linda all came to witness Ella's baptism!

How neat is it for Ella that the Denny performed the service.

The Bear Snores On

Ella is totally engrossed is reading books these days. Aunt Lois and Aunt Gigi have made sure that book accompanies ( Mommy says THANK YOU!!!) every gift occasion so we have all kinds of new books to read!

Her current favorites are The Bear Snores On, Jamberry, and Barnyard Dance

Several years ago, my brother and his family moved to Prauge and gave Bert and I a trailer for the back of the bike. I think we won the award for most baby things in the garage without actually having a baby. Anyway, we took Ella out a few weeks ago and she LOVED it!

Random

I have not had too much time to post lately, so the first few will be a few random pictures taken over the past month.

Denny had a sudden trip to Houston for work and came out to see Ella.

Uncle Don gave Ella a "KISS" outfit that Bert loves.

Spring Softball

Ella and I have had a great time this Spring watching cousin Abby's softball games. Bert usually rides Saturday mornings, so it gives us a chance to watch the Lady Ags.

Ella and Aunt Shawn...Ella is overwhelmed with excitement

It takes a lot of energy to be a baby girl.
