Aunt Amy went to Six Flags Magic Mountain last weekend, and she bought Ellie the cutest gift--a "Superbaby" onesie, complete with velcro-on cape! Not only is it cute, but it's right up Andrew's alley what with his Superman fixation and all.
Last week, Shawna and Ellie were able to go with the Grandma Lois and Grandpa Bill Elms (now greatgrandparents) on their annual Yosemite trip. They all stayed in Curry Village, and were joined by Papa Bill, Uncle Tim, and Aunt Amy. Here are some pics, and make sure to check out some nice pics on Fat Tim's blog: tigelms.blogspot.com
Sorry about the long delay in new news. But here are some random pics of Ellie to get things rolling.
We thought it was about time to get some good family pictures. And because we have lived in downtown LA for most of our married lives (2.7 years, haha) it seemed like the perfect place for our pictures. Here are some of our favorites, taken by Victor Iorillo.
Well, if you haven't heard the news, we are off to Kentucky or Tennessee on June 15 for three years!!! Fort Campbell is on the SW tip of Kentucky and NW tip of Tennessee. It's about an hour away from Nashville which I hear is a fun city. The closest "big" city to the fort is Clarksville, TN, so it looks like we will most likely end up there. Housing is ridiculously cheap. We are looking to buy and huge 3-4 bedroom homes with tons of land are under 200,000 some are even under 100,000! BUT, it is a sad goodbye to the city we have close to our hearts, as it is where we met, married and had our first baby. And a goodbye to the state which houses both our families and where we both grew up. (It's only three years:) Hasn't really sunk in just yet, we are somewhat excited. At least we will have cool neighbors:) (Steve and Christy are 2 hours away!) More posts to come......
She has also recently discovered herself. The other day I noticed that she was grabbing the mirror with both hands and checking herself out. What a babe!
Easter was fantastic! Church was great, even the talk delivered about church magazines went well (?). Then we came home and had turkey, ham with all the fixings, and Papa's homemade brownies for dessert (yummy!). Ellie was really excited to get her Easter basket full of baby toys so she could put them in her mouth, and Mommy and Daddy were excited to take home a garbage bag full of candy -thanks easter bunny:) We were so glad that my sister Michelle and friend Bonnie could join us with Andrew's family in Bakersfield for the day. Bonnie found the coveted "fruity monster" egg as pictured above- good job egg decorating Michelle!
