Catch-Up

 

I haven't blogged in awhile.  I thought I would update you on Harper.  She is changing so much lately.  She is crawling at full speed, pulling up and even cruising a little bit around furniture.  She is also clapping, waving, and dancing with music.  She loves to watch her brothers and get in to everything!  Here are her 7 & 8 month pics...

 

 

 

I will update soon on the rest of the family.  In a little over a week, Noah will turn 6!  Yikes!  More posts to come!

Six Months

 

A tad delayed, but our precious Harper turned 6 months a couple of weeks ago.  She is army-crawling, rocking on all fours, and sitting unassisted.  She can even sit up on her own, so we lowered the crib.  She's eating squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, apples and pears.  She is growing too quickly. 

 

We have been really busy with preschool, homeschooling, t-ball and road-tripping.  More posts to come!

Harper @ 4 1/2 & 5 months

A few weeks ago, my friend, Mac came over and took some pictures of Baby Girl. I will always cherish these pictures because her shoes were a gift from my Aunt Penni. Enjoy...

And here is her 5 month picture...

4 months

Another picture, another month!  Harper turned 4 months last Saturday.  We are still loving how chill she is.  She is a little roll-y poll-y, loves to hear her little voice and sit in her bumbo.  She is still eating and sleeping great!

And just for fun, here is a pic of all 3 @ 4 months...

eight

8 years ago I became Mrs. Aaron Ellis.  There has been a lot of highs and a few lows, but through out it all God has been sovereign and gracious to our family of 2, then 3, then 4 and now 5.  In a way, it seems like I've known Aaron forever, but in some ways I can't believe we've been married for 8 years. 

What else could I possibly say except to praise our Father who brought us together on that rainy day in June.

Love you, Husband.  I'm glad you make it so easy for me to be your wife :)

Cohen is 3

Well, Cohen turned 3 on the 7th. Can't believe he is SO big!  We went with a baseball theme since he loves him some baseball!  Here are the pics:

Waterslide= hours of fun!

Cupcakes



Lots of friends and family came...

Obviously we had to throw some Rangers in...



 And some popcorn...

 Hot dog, peanuts, veggies and fixin's...

Party favors and centerpieces...

Cohen wasn't too thrilled about taking his picture...

Happy, Happy Birthday to our Cohen!  We love you, Buddy!

Penni

 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
 “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
 “O death, where is your victory?
  O death, where is your sting?”

 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Corinthians 15:54-57 ESV)

My Aunt Penni went to be with Lord yesterday.  She will be missed but I am glad that she is no more pain.  Prayers for our family during this time would be appreciated.  Love to all.

3 months

How can my baby girl be 3 months already???  Time sure does fly.  She is sleeping great at night, cooing up a storm, blowing spit bubbles, and smiling more often.  We think she's close to laughing.  She is also rolling to her side, which means she'll be rolling over soon.  Here eyes are still dark blue {what?!} and weighs over 13 lbs.  She's a growing girl.  Harper has brought us so much joy already.  Can't wait to see what the next 3 months bring!

Splash Day & Last Day

Here they are on Tuesday, the most fun day at preschool!

And for fun...

Happy Summer to us!

Preschool Program & Noah Graduates!

  The boys had their preschool program this past week and did such a good job! Here are some pictures...

Not only was it the spring program, but it was also Noah's Pre-K Graduation!  He looked so cute in his cap and gown.

Here he is with his cousins and teacher Ms. Kelly:

And with his proud parents...

Our BIG 5 1/2 year old & Noah and his best bud, Savannah :)
