[It has been a rather busy week here, so we're a little slow with things we'd like to post about, but we will eventually catch up as sleep schedules allow.] This year, for the first time, Ella really seemed to “get” Christmas. No, not in the Luke 1:26 – 2:40 sort of way, or even [...]

We went to visit family in North Carolina en route to visiting more family in South Carolina. We got to see lots of relatives that we don’t frequently see due to the distance, and we all enjoyed hanging out and eating a fantastic feast on Thanksgiving. Going on walks, hitting some tag sales, going to [...]

We’re in Chicago for my sister Diana’s wedding this weekend. Once again, Ella was awesome on the plane, and we made it here in one piece. Tonight, the girls took Diana to Lucky Strike for some bachelorette bowling. We ate good food, drank some yummy drinks and then sucked it up on the lanes (except [...]
My sister Maria’s pug Tyrone had been in declining health for a little while, and the time came for him to go to doggie heaven. We are all very sad, but are sure that he is sitting beneath a deck, catching all the meat drippings from the big grill in the sky. My sister Diana [...]

So we’re in North Carolina visiting the fam this weekend. Thanks to modern technology, we are posting photos taken recently (oh, about an hour ago). Here’s a photo of Ella enjoying the exersaucer, and then a photo of Sasha asleep and taking Elmo hostage in the process. You can see that we are doing a [...]
While Andrew was writing tales about his weekend with Ella at home, I was spending my time in Chicago with the other females of the fam. Here are a few photos to illustrate the insanity that was the whirlwind of a Saturday. We all crammed into a cab, driven by a cute cabbie who also [...]

Ella also got to meet her Aunt Theresa, pictured here, during our N.C. trip. She also got to see her Aunt Maria again; plus, she got to meet her Uncle Robert and cousins Dale and Dinah.
