It's been a while!

I know...I have been REALLY bad lately updating the blog...no excuses :)

Kids are great! Ella is such a big girl, wearing big girl undies now! No more diapers!!! :) Hadley is sitting up and also rolling all over the floor..trying to figure out the crawling bit. She has 2 teeth so far, and I think more are coming. Time is flying by...can't believe it's almost Christmas. Ella is trying to figure out what it's all about, I think she will have it figured out after this Christmas :)

Here are some updated pics from September to present...enjoy!

Welcome Hadley Lynn!!

Born: 4/20/2009 7:54 a.m.

Weight: 6lb15oz

Height: 20.5"

Hadley is doing great being home...and Ella is fitting in very nicely to her big sister role. She loves to help give Hadley her pacey (regardless if she needs it or not!). So far no jealousy...although Daddy has been very good at keeping her entertained. I am feeling great so far...a lot better than last time. Very much enjoying my time off with my family...it will go by far too soon I am sure.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our new bundle and her big sis...enjoy!

Christmas - March

Yes, I know, I am a slacker! This is old...but thought I would throw up a few pictures from Christmas time. Ella had a good time but was overwhelmed with gifts. She had enough after just a couple :) Here is Ella rocking out with Guitar Hero!

Here is Ella with her new Elmo doll:

Here is one with Mommy and Ella enjoying the snow:

In Feburary, Ella went on her first plane ride. We went to Kansas to see Uncle Derek and cousin Emma. Here are a couple pics from the trip, we had a really good time!

In March, we went to Grand Rapids and stayed in a hotel with a pool and water slide. We went with Ella's Aunt's & Uncles along with her cousins Alex, Garrison and Kate. Here is a cute pic of all of them:

Ella has begun talking so much..even sentences. Each day it is something new. She just recently learned how to count to 10. Here is a video of her:
