Firstly, Julia and Ellie happened to be nearby when Mommy was having a "moment" a couple weeks ago in the kitchen. The kids had made me some cards for my birthday, emotions were running a little thick that week and a tear started to slip of my eye out as the girls passed through. Ellie stopped and looked at me then reached up on the desk to get me a tissue! She wanted to dry my eye for me! Julia grabbed the camera and did a nice job capturing the gesture made by Ellie.
Everyone needs a hug after crying!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...Ellie's attire! Here's the cute little ladybug ready for church!
Now, before you get down to the next photo, you should have some background information about our little blog here. About a month ago our camera of 12 years (bought when pregnant with Jacob!) got dropped one too many times and called it quits! It was sad to see an old friend go! In the meantime we've been using our phone but shopping around for cameras.
May I present to you the first picture taken with our new camera! TA DA!!!!!!!
Our girl looks great, doesn't she?! Such bright colors, it's fun to take such clear pictures of such a sweet face! We were realistic in buying a camera that was not the fanciest thing out there, but we also have a case to protect this one a little more. Maybe this one will go another 12 years for us!
Xavier wanted in on the fun so he posed next to his birthday cake for his party today. "X turns 9" - a play off Roman Numerals and his name :). A lemon poppyseed cake decorated like the sun for his sunny, bright smile!
We'll be back soon with more pictures!!!
