Here is a video of Ella starting to crawl!!!!

Here are some more pictures of the house!!! The top two are of the master bathroom. I just love the tile work the was done in there. The next one is of Ella's room. It was painted that color when we moved in. You really can't get a feel for how bright it is in this picture. But I love it. It matches the other colors in her room just perfectly so we decided not to change the color. We are still getting settled and trying to get things organized. But we are loving every minute of our new house. It just feels like home.

Mommy tickling the baby!

Hey everyone!!

Aaron and I decided to start a blog and join the rest of America in sharing our life through the internet. This allows me to post more pictures and send it out to everyone than through an email. I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on what is going on in our lives. We recently just bought a house and we are loving every minute of it. Everything thing worked out so well that there is no doubt in our mind that we made the right decision (no matter how terrifying it was to signing our life away!) . It has been very enjoyable finally making something completely our own.

Ella is getting so big. She is now five months and practically running. Okay not really, but sometimes it feels like it. She can roll over and she gets up on all fours and rocks and falls. She is so close to crawling. Ella gets really frustrated when she sees something she wants and she can't quite get to it. Especially when she tries to get closer and she just ends up farther away than where she started. She laughs now too. She doesn't do it as often as we would like because apparently Mommy and Daddy just aren't funny enough. But she does give us plenty of "These people really are my parents? WOW" looks.
