Our day

What a day!  HABEMUS PAPAM!

Kids watching the television WAY to closely.
Two nurses training.  Lots of laundry. 
All of this and a bath made Ellie very very sleepy! 
To celebrate our new pope - we all decided to go to mass and then a soup dinner following.  We had a great time!

First as we loaded up the van Jeff started using "Habemus" (we have) when at all possible.  He started with "Habemus Full Van". 

Julia in the special seat to be able to "touch Ellie". 
Xavier was blue that he could not see her.  He then made it to Jacob's side where Jacob gave him some kind of strange but loving brotherly "neck hug" and we decided Xavier would get to sit next to Ellie at mass.
Ellie did so great during mass!  She made very few quiet little noises but they were sweet little sounds.  So many people that have been praying for her were so happy to meet her.  What a wonderful gift to have an outing as a family!  We can't wait for the next one!  Most likely mass this weekend - yay!!
