This weekend was a wonderful time in our home. Saturday morning started with a "Welcome Home Ellie" shower put on by my dear friends Tina, Sue Ellen, Cassie and Jane. Wow.. I had a blast opening up all of those sweet little girl things! I then bagged them back up and brought them home for Jeff to open all over again! My mom, mother-in-law and niece Kristin were all able to be there as well, so it was extra special for me! Ellie is certainly one very LOVED little girl!
Last night was a special treat. Here at the house, we had a spontaneous little poker game with Jeff, Dad, Joann (jeff's mom), our friend William, and myself (later). What a hoot! We had so much fun together. Deniece and William's mom, Veronica, and their two boys were also here, so we had a house full just like we like it! What a blessing to have friends and family here together. The Bell family (william, deniece, malyk, and malcolm) have become dear friends to us, and we just aren't sure how to feel about not spending next weekend with them too :) Seriously, you guys are a real blessing in our lives, and we count it an honor to call you friends and brothers/sisters in Christ! We look forward to many more dinners, poker games, hair styling parties, and of course.. cheesecakes!!
Here are pics from the shower... WHAT A BLAST!!

Hey Aunt Holly! Just wanted to let you know what an AWESOME time I had this weekend with my family & how much I loved coming to your shower, to church, and hangin out with everyone at your house and I loved hearing Bryan play his drums in his band. He did an AWESOME JOB! Can't wait for Ellie to finally be home and can't wait to meet her! I love you all! (and the cats) :)

How proud Bryan made us this weekend playing his drums!!! Wow, we had no idea he was so good! We got so many blessings this weekend and can't wait for our little Ellie to be home so she can share in all these blessings God is giving us.....
Look at you, Skinny Momma!!! How cool to see Jeff holding all those little girl things. Awesome! I don't know if Geron knows what a skort is, either. Ellie is going to love her new family so much
