Parent's Note:::Happy 6 Months!

Ella - well today - August 25th - we've had you in our arms officially for 6 months, though you've been in our hearts for so much longer and forever will be. We are so proud of our little girl, who is growing and learning so much. In just 6 short months, you have learned some words, can walk, cut lots of teeth and definitely understand. You are crazy about chicken nuggets and fruit (not Chinese food, though!) and you continue to have the best personality we, as parents, could ask for. Plus you are so darn CUTE!!! We love you Ella and that comes from the bottom of our hearts. We already can't envision life without you and your wonderful brother, Evan, too. We feel truly blessed!

Summer 2007 - Ella Travels the US

Well What a summer it was in 2007 - Not forgetting Evan's trip of a lifetime to California with his grandparents, Ella also took more flights than some people take in their lifetime, travelling to Minnesota, New York, South Dakota and the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee (all on separate trips). This, before she gears up to travel to Florida twice in September and October, with an Xmas/New Years trip back to NY later this year. Lets start off with Ella's trip to Minnesota - solo with her incredible mom and visiting her "great" godparents - the Mortons - Ella had a wonderful middle of July, enjoying weather mostly in the 70s and playing with her buddy Prston. 3 pictures with at the Morton's including a merry go round. In New York having a blast at Grandma and Grandpa's pool A little time at home reading with Dad. In South Dakota, with Aunt Lisa, Roger and Dolly and of course Mom Lots of Pictures from Tennessee - the Mountains - where we rented a cabin with the Patron's (I mean McFee's, but we drank a lot of Patron so I got confused for a second!) First - what a view from our 3 BR and 3 BA cabin with pool table, air hockey and hot tub and more. Various pictures with Ella's oldest friend MayaMcFee = truly we are sure they'll be friends forever as they have a connection that can never be broken Finally, all of us - the McFees and Lazar's (we're not really happy in these pictures - taken Sunday morning just before we parted ways - Lazar's to Georgia and McFee's to West Virginia) Well that's all for now - it's real fun to narrate Ella's growing up blog online - I really thank all of our friends and family who make it possible for us to have so many memories to share.
