One reason I hate kool-aid...

Miss Independent wanted blue kool-aid instead of water. It was everywhere! Good excuse to clean out the fridge, I guess.

Ellie turns 2!

Ellie is now 2 years old! And what a bundle of joy she is! She is generally a pretty happy little girl, although we have our moments. I found it funny that the morning of her birthday she was upset about something and rolled around on the living room floor throwing a little fit. I thought to myself, "Welcome terrible two's!" I'm hoping she won't do that too often! She is actually a very good little helper and loves to follow her big brother around and do whatever he is doing. For all you older siblings out there, you know how annoying that can be. But most times they get along pretty well.
We had a birthday celebration last weekend with our extended family. Ellie was the star of the party and had fun entertaining the crowd. There are a couple of pictures below of the birthday girl in her birthday shirt and with her cake. Two of Ellie's favorite foods are hot dogs and pizza. So we grilled hot dogs for lunch and ate a pizza cake for dessert. Thanks to dad for decorating the cake, with some help from grandma. It was a fun party and Ellie had a great time!

Bowels?

While riding in the van the other day AJ was talking with Micah about which letters were vowels. Micah came home to tell me that A, E, I, O, & U were "bowels". I don't think that's what AJ was teaching him, but sometimes things get lost in translation!

Lots of pics

Here is an overload of pics of our first two weeks. Isaac is a great baby and we have all settled in pretty well. This next week will be the real test as I (Amy) am on my own without AJ or grandma here all day. Pray for us!!
Isaac had his 2 week visit yesterday and his weight is at 8lbs 7.5oz! Yea! We are so excited that he is eating well and growing just as he is supposed to. Praise the Lord!
