Ch-ch-changes

Wow!! What an amazing couple of months it has been! Our lives have been turned upside down and inside out, in the most amazing way. Ellie continues to grow, change and amaze us everyday. It has been so fun to see her personality coming out and watch the way her smile can light up a room. I find myself sitting and staring at her in amazement for most of the day. She is rolling over from her stomach to her back and has discovered the joys that are sounds she can make with her voice. 

Her birthday (sept. 27)

Showing off a Christmas present (jan. 2014)

Our Holidays were good with some many family members in town that got to meet Ellie for the first time. We were also busy and experienced the joys and exhaustion that comes with having a kiddo and multiple homes to travel to. We spent Christmas Eve at Scott's parents house with the immediate family and started a new tradition of fondue and present opening...it was delicious! 

Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas was crazy! We started the day with my family, having some breakfast before heading off to church. After church we broke off into various cars for airport runs, drop-off and Scott and I headed back to the Koch's. We were there for a couple of hours and then headed off to the Lantz house for the annual Christmas dinner. Then we came back to my parent's house to open our presents. PHEW!! What a day. I hope that your Holidays were joyful and love filled :)
