My cousins!!!

Ella finally met her cousins on Ed's side. We had Ed's mom, Gary, Dawn, Sherri, and their kids come for Thanksgiving. It was a great time. Ella, nor I, has never seen so many games played in 3 days! From UNO, to wii, it was quite the adventure.

Christmas was in the air early as well! Ella opened up Christmas presents...well, she sure liked the sound of the wrapping paper:)

Ella has two teeth and we believe a third coming in. She is rolling everywhere and maybe wanting to crawl. She loves music and when we clap. Ella loves her some Hawkeye too. He is still warming up to that.

Enjoy the pictures!

Opening a present...just happened to be DAWN's team on a jersey...


Ella loves her Hawkeye...


Proud Mom and Grandma...


Just like the day after Christmas playing with my new toys...


Ella and her cousins...

Happy Halloween!

Ella had a fabulous Halloween. She enjoyed being a butterfly (Old Navy $5 special). She really enjoyed watching the chiminea more than she did watching the other kids trick or treat. We didn't go to any houses. We just ventured to Ana and Justin's driveway and enjoyed our Salem Woods Family.






Of course Ella was a hit!

And this was our awesome pumpkin.


Mom had fun carving it. Dad's not into carving yet. Once the littliest Meyer is, I am sure he will be.

Ella has also started getting teeth! Today is the first day that I can say teeth:) Her first one started coming in about 2 weeks ago. She had a fever and was VERY fussy. Ed and I were pretty excited to go back to work on Monday after her awesome behavior. We are so very spoiled because she is such a good baby. When she gets upset, we aren't used to it and we just want to cry too!

We've been spending time at the store, helping daddy get the business together. Ella is very calm there. I wonder if the smell of hops, malt, and grain is intoxicating to her:) We know it's not...

Ella will be EIGHT months on the 16th! WOW!
