Ella vs. the Screen Door

5/14/09 - We like to think that all of the pictures we take of Ella are beautiful. I sit back and look through them from time to time and think "Wow, she never takes a bad picture; What a pretty little girl she is..."
Well, after today's little photo shoot at the screen door, I think I'll have to change my tune. Ella is human. Behold.... her glamour shots. (aka: blackmail pictures for when she gets a little older)

Incase you were wondering what she was so interested in that was outside... Well, Daddy went out and was riding around on his bike... I guess she wanted to join him :)

Lydia's 1st Birthday!

Beautiful Birthday Girl, Lydia!

Almost touching her candle...

5/11/09 - This past weekend, we spent some time with our little niece Lydia celebrating her 1st birthday! We had a wonderful time visiting with family and watching the birthday girl cover herself from head to toe with cake :) Unlike Ella, she wasn't at all afraid of getting a little dirty :) We're so proud of our beautiful little niece - She's grown into such a big girl; super smiley, super happy and just an amazing little girl! Happy 1st Birthday Lydia!!!
