So, for those of you who have followed us over here to this blog site.
Welcome!!
I have been MIA to the blogging world for lots of reasons but mainly, it was getting too hard. About a year and half ago, I changed emails which lead to lots of issues with my google accounts. Basically, our old blog was tied to my old google account that did not store my most recent photos. So, to update the blog took lots of time to transfer pictures, then upload them on to the blog. Time I never seem to have.
So, my solution.....start a totally new blog page that is attached to my current google account. This way uploading pics is easy.
Hopefully this means I can keep my blog current. I talked about giving it up but bottom line is we LOVE the memories that are captured on it. So, let's get started again.
There is no possible way to catch up for almost a year of blogging. So, let's hit the highlights of the past few months:
Elaina started 4th grade. She is still at Grace. Boy, do we ever love her school. She has Mrs. Giles. this year. So far, it's been a fun year. She made honors choir which she seems to like (stay tuned for some pics/video of that - her first performance is tonight). She is still taking piano lessons and is doing well with those.
First day photos:
She is also still doing cheer which she LOVES!! She takes tumbling once a week too and love that. We got a trampoline so as you can imagine she spends a good deal of time on it. She can now do a round off double back handspring which is pretty cool.
On July 6th, Elaina turned 9. I may blog on that later. But, in case I don't....We spent her bday at a water park - Wild Bear Falls - with her BFF Kaitilyn. It was a super fun day.

Her best friend Kaitilyn is cheering again this year. She has also made some really great new friends this year too.

| The birthday girl on her birthday |
She got some flowers from our friends Dave and Tonja
Also, my sister had her second daughter not too long ago. Her name is Tessa. She is perfect. She had her on July 7th (7/7) . Get this....she weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces. She is the 7th grandchild. AND, she was born on the 7th floor of the hospital. She is our little lucky 7 :)
 
While in Nashville meeting Tessa, I took Elaina to the new American Girl store for lunch and to have her doll's hair done. Sadie and Celia (her fave cousins) went with us. Each girl brought their dolls. We had a yummy "tea" with sandwiches/goodies.
  
And, just for fun....we still find pics such as these randomly on my phone....
Okay - that is enough for now...thanks for stopping over to see us and catch up. |
