2 weeks old and Ice Storm











We were out of power yesterday afternoon until 1 am. We slept most of the afternoon. We were all bundled up and the fire kept us warm and cozy! Trees are down everywhere. Our tree in the backyard is down, but luckily did not hit the house. I couldn't sleep last night because I was afraid our tree in the front would hit us. We are fine and the power has been restored sooner than we thought! I'll try to post some pics of the damage and snow later!




Visit from Uncle Jeff



My brother Jeff drove in from St. Louis last weekend to visit us! Ella looks very content in his arms. Emily also enjoyed seeing Jeff again. We hope to see you again soon!

Sisterly love

Look at what I captured this evening! Emily fell asleep on the couch. What a peaceful couple of hours for a change. ;)

1st bath

After 2nd bath- she looks like a little beauty!
Big sister and daddy helping Ella

She got very calm for a second



Ella with family







Quilts my great-grandmother made-Barbara brought them to us.






























I'm a little behind in posting, so I'm going to try to catch up. We had lots of family visit us last weekend. Mimi, Katie, Barbara, and my parents came up on Saturday. Roy's family came to visit Sunday. They loved meeting Ella!

Happy 1 Week Old!




I can't believe that Ella is one week old already! She is a great baby so far! Emily just loves her little sister and wants to hold/kiss her all the time.

Urgent Prayer Request

I have been following Kelly's blog throughout her pregnancy. After many years of waiting and hoping her daughter was born tonight. She's in critical condition and being flown to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Please pray and visit Kelly's blog to let her know you are praying.

I would also like anyone who views this to keep another baby in your prayers. This is another fellow blogger and her baby, Brayden, was born on the same day as Ella. He is in NICU at Children's Hospital with a lung problem as well. Here is her blog: Please pray for these babies. I can't imagine what the parents are going through right now. http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/
