Visit from Aunt Brittany, Uncle Ross, and Caroline!

My brother and his family came down and we had a great visit. Caroline was able to practice being a big sister it was so sweet to watch the two girls with each other. Caroline was very gentle and loving towards Ella. Every time I think of Caroline, Ella, and Laura Grace it reminds me of spending my childhood with my cousins Holly and Hannah. I hope they have as much fun as we did. Anyway we took to the pumpkin patch while they were here and had a blast.

Ella's Baptism

We had Ella Baptized on Sunday October 16, 2011. Reverend Hyche baptized Ella and many friends and family were there to help us bring a new life into Gods Church. Ella did really well she fussed a little, but right before we went to the alter she had started to fill her britches so I understand why she got fussy!

Memories

I thought I had for sure posted something else after announcing we had a little girl, but I was wrong. So I am going to sum up all that has happened over the last 3 months!



Ella's first big trip away from home was Lake Livingston! Labor Day weekend the Johnson family headed up to Trinity Cove where we spent the weekend lounging and riding jet skis. Ella just lounged :) It was very strange for me to take my baby to our lake house. This is the place where my cousins and I spent many weekends growing up, and to take Ella to a place from my childhood was very surreal.

Then not very long after her first trip away, she did her first over night away from mommy and daddy. One of my high school drill team friends got married September 17, so Kyle and I spent the night dancing in Houston. Ella spent the night cuddling with Grammy and Grandpa. Not sure who had more fun Kyle and I or Grammy and Grandpa!


Here we are all dressed for the wedding!

While mommy was home with her for her first 6 weeks Ella had many visitors and she loved seeing everybody. Uncle Jerry, Kelly, Kirk, Logan, Nene, Aunt Karen, Auntie Kym and many more came to see sweet Ella. Auntie Kym came by and snapped some pictures for us one day.

And before we knew it Ella was one month old! Mommy took some pictures to remember just how precious Ella was.
