the kids growing up

Monthly pictures of the kids...
As I look at these pictures it seems to me that Lucas isn't changing as much as Ella did from month to month. I think it must be because he was born with a "little man" look! :o) so if you can't tell... he sure is getting big!

WOW! I had no idea how long it has been since I last blogged!! so i guess i have a lot of catching up to do! ...coming soon

A visit from my Sweet Sister-in-Law

Brian's little sister Jessica who is 16 was able to come and visit us last week. Because of a few unfortunate events that came about she was unable to go to a week of summer camp she had planned and since she was planning to be away her job had scheduled others to work in her place... So she came to visit us!














Because of flying stnadby, it took her over 24 hours to get down here but was well worth it because she got to stay with us for over a week. We didn't do anything extra special but we sure had a lot of fun! We had a lot of late nights watching movies, playing the Wii and XBox!

It was so much fun to have her here and Ella was absolutely in love with her Aunt Jessi. We miss her so much now!
