Notes from the Mom...

So, here we are. A week into being a Mom. Wow, no one can describe the amazing feeling that you get when you look at your child. Words escape me as I look into Ella's eyes. It really is one of those things that every Mom tells you about. Every Mom says you will have this bond with your child, you will feel so attached and get into Mom mode. Honestly, I never believed them and now I am just amazed at how naturally (wanted to say easy, but we know it isn't always easy) it comes.

Anyhow, things are going great at home. We were sad to see Grandpa Larry and Grandma Ann leave this morning. They did so much for us when they were here. They also helped us out with Ella during dinner time. Grandpa Larry had the touch every night at dinner to settle her down. I think Grandpa Larry is pretty darn proud and excited. Grandma Ann couldn't break her habit of daily laundry, so it was greatly appreciated that she did all the laundry before she left.

Easter was great. All the more reason to thank God for our many blessings. Uncle Lukas came over and our wonderful friends in the neighborhood prepared a wonderful taco bar. It was great to spend Easter with people who are like family.

Here is our first family picture, Ella's Easter picture (right in the middle of a cry and that outfit was picked out by none other than Daddy).

Wow! She is beautiful! Congrats! And I must say I am proud of how pretty moms hair looks!
Hope to meet Ella soon!
Love, Jenna (the hairstylist!)
