They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

4D

We did our 4D ultrasound Tuesday afternoon, and Ella wasn't exactly cooperative. But we were able to get a few pictures of her, and they said they would try again at my 32 week appointment. Here are a few that turned out okay. She looks identical to how Lia looked in her 3D pictures : ) We can't wait to meet her!!

Fun with Aunt Ginny


This weekend, Aunt Ginny (my aunt, Lia's great aunt and godmother) flew over from Atlanta to spend some time with us and attend Ella's baby shower. It was her first visit to Houston since we moved here, and it was so much fun to have her come!! Lia absolutely loved carrying on with Aunt Ginny all weekend - they were two peas in a pod : ) Thank you so much for making the trip out here Aunt Ginny! We loved having you and so wish we got to see you all the time!! Love you!!

Diaper Shower for Ella

On Saturday, our friends threw Ella a beautiful diaper shower at the Lee's house. The shower was hosted by Ryan and Keri, Christi and Patrick, and Natalie and Casey. It was so much fun! The food was wonderful, we got so much great stuff for Ella, and it was so mice to spend time with friends that we haven't seen much over the summer. I can't say thank you enough to our wonderful friends for throwing this party for us!! We love you and really appreciate all you've done for us! : ) Here are some pictures from the shower:
