"I Hate Tummy Time!!"

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Happy Anniversary, Nana & Grandpa P!

First Playdate

While in Idaho, Ellie had her first "playdate" of sorts: My parents' next door neighbor had a baby 2 days after Ellie was born. Now, granted little Seth was born 3 weeks early...but really! Look at their size difference. Ellie looks 6 months old, not 6 weeks!

The Long and Short of it....

Dueling Digital Cameras!

New Friends

Cousins Maddie and Seth were good new friends for Ellie. They read to her, drew pictures of her, and provided lots of entertainment and laughs.

Glorified Mobile

We have wanted to get Ellie a mobile for her crib. However it appears that her expectations might be big...literally! She is fascinated by ceiling fans.

Update

Last Wednesday, Ellie and I came out to Idaho to be under the full-time care of my family. It has been wonderful, and I am getting stronger and stronger each day. Thank you for the many prayers and kind words of encouragement over these past weeks. We appreciate your love and concern!

So now let me fill you in on our last week...
