Fabulous Friends and Family

We have had so much fun showing Ellie off to our family and friends . . .

My cousin, Quade (4 yrs.), was so excited to see Ellie. He was counting down the days until he could come and see her.

Future baby-sitter, Roddie Lee (10 yrs.), was so good with Ellie.

My friends from nursing school have started having babies! Here is Karen with Ellie, her daughter Alister (19 mo.) and Darcy's new baby, Lucy (4 mo.).

My best friend, Sarah, couldn't wait to get her hands on Ellie.

This was the cutest photo-shoot yet! Ellie and Lucy sat together so nice. Lucy even gave Ellie's hand a taste. Can't wait till they can have play-dates together.

All smiles!

Ellie has really started to smile this week! And we just can't get enough!

New Sling

Grandma Laura grew up in Africa so she made a sling like the Africa women use. Ellie just loves hanging out with her grandma.

Happy Christmas Day!!!

All the grandparents.

We had Christmas dinner at the Nobles. Laura made a delicious roast. Yum Yum.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Christmas Elf!

Home at last . . .

Yeah . . . we're home!!! Drew and I have been so excited to come home to Seattle that we couldn't sleep. Christmas is just the cherry on top!

Drew's parents and his sister Shaneen came over to my parents house for brunch on Saturday. It was the first time Auntie Shaneen met her neice. It was love at first sight.

All our friends have been so excited to meet Ellie. Our old friend, Myka, was a little nervous to hold a newborn but Ellie didn't seem to mind at all.

Today we had fun hanging out with Ellie in front of the fire. When we take her clothes off she kicks and giggles. She's just so cute.

Sittin' Pretty

I just got out of the tub with mommy - check out my fuzzy hair!


We're on our way home to Seattle tomorrow! We can't wait to see our families and they can't wait to see Ellie (Drew and Donnianne who?).
Let's hope the plane ride goes well. With 4 bags of luggage, a carry on and Ellie our hands will be full!
