All Alone

We were blessed to have both of our parents come all the way to Costa Rica to help out the past 2 weeks. Ann left yesterday and now we are officially alone. Yikes! It was such a blessing to have so much help. Lucy especially enjoyed all of the play time she got with her grandparents. Ellie can't wait to come home for Christmas to meet Mac, Aunt Curly, Aunt KK, Uncle B, and Caleb!

Sweet Ellie

Well I promised pictures of Ellie so here they are. This building to the left of my shoulder is the hospital where Ellie was born. Ellie loves this sling and some how ends up spending lots of time in it since we are on the go quite often.

She has been such a good baby so far, very content and easy going. She consistently has been sleeping around 4.5-5 hours at night between feedings and is only really fussy around dinner time.

She is already getting very strong with her head muscles.

And lately her eyes have been focusing on objects and people.

She and her sister love each other and keep each other quite entertained when playing on the floor.

Cute Lucy Pics

So I know these pictures don't include Ellie in them but they were too cute not to post. Lucy is at such a fun age right now and she brings so much joy to our lives through the things she says and does each day. Having a newborn around the house makes it feel like Lucy is so old and grown up now.

Lucy loves to take care of her baby dolls. As you can see in this picture Lucy got her very own cabbage patch doll for her birthday this year.

Swinging at the park is one of her favorite things to do.

Check out her new ballet shoes.

Our New Ride

This is our new double stroller. The girls seem to like it, Lucy especially likes that she has the option to either sit or stand. Unfortunately we will not be able to use this stroller for the next 2 months because to save shipping we went ahead and sent it on to Honduras with the interns when they left last week. For now we will just stroll Lucy and put Ellie in the sling to get around town.

A New Girl, A New Look

Our website has had a makeover since we have welcomed a new addition to our family. We hope you enjoy the many adventures of Lucy and Ellie.

The Many Faces of Ellie

Here are some fun up close pictures of Ellie, so you can see her many expressions. The pictures of her in the green outfit were taken at the hospital. She continues to be a great baby and very content.

Help has arrived

Necy and Dabo arrived here on Sunday afternoon and here all week to help out. Lucy has loved having her grandparents around and Ellie doesn't seem to mind the extra love and attention as well. Gannie comes next week after they leave so we are blessed to have 2 weeks of help as we adjust to life as a family of 4.
