I finally got all of our pictures uploaded to our computer so here is an update of the last few months. Christmas was so much fun with Ellie this year. She loved opening presents and playing with each thing before she went on to the next present. We ended up leaving for Iowa a day early (Christmas night) because we got quite a bit of snow in Dayton the next morning. So we stayed in a hotel half way to Iowa and went to rest of the way in the morning. The trip was easy because Ellie slept most of the time (we may remember this in the future) and it was only a few hours each day. We had a great visit with everyone and were sad to say goodbye.

Life since leaving Iowa has been pretty normal. Ellie and I are trying to find ways to burn off her endless energy without being about to go outside much. Our local rec center has a mommy and me play time in the pool that Ellie seems to enjoy.

We found out that we are having a little BOY in July. We are very excited but can't seem to agree on a name, hopefully we will find one we both like by the time he is born:)
