I must apologize!

It has been forever since I've posted anything. And since this is my way to update people, it means nobody knows what's going on! I'm so sorry! It's been a crazy few months. We found out in November that we are expecting a baby. And it's taken some time to wrap our brains around that. To bring Vi into our family it was a long, involved process. And this baby is a surprise! Go figure! Baby is due around August 1st. And we are so excited, and still a bit shocked! So morning sickness isn't really conducive to blogging, I've discovered! We also just moved into a new wonderful home. We have missed a backyard terribly. So now we have space and a backyard! Ella's favorite parts are: 1. Chandeliers 2. Stairs in the house 3. A playroom. My favorite part is the space and that the move is over! I think that might be Cory's fave part too ... the move is over! So now we're settled, and the 1st trimester is almost over, so hopefully I'll keep everybody up to date better! Hope you all have a fantastic new year!

Let it Snow!

It doesn't snow very often here, so when it does we go out and enjoy it. Even if it is only 1/2 and inch!

Look at Vi's lovely squishy cheeks!

Ella's snow angel! Look at her face, she's so HAPPY!

Both my beautiful girls! Aren't they lovely?

Merry Christmas!

We had a good Christmas with just us and the girls. We had a lot of fun watching them open their gifts. Violet was the typical baby and cared more for the wrapping paper than the actual gift, but she came around. Sorry there aren't more pictures, but we were too busy unwrapping!

My Happy Girls

Our girls are nothing if not happy. So enjoy a few random pics!

Violet is NOT happy about the new coat.

She looks like she just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar!

The girls with Papa and Grandma Nielsen (sorry I'm not a better photographer!)

Halloween!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Ella got to go trick or treating 3 times ... which is pretty cool when you're 6. Hang on, it's pretty cool when you're in your 30s too! Ella was a lovely ballerina (and got to wear make up for the first time - she looks 16), Violet was a pink Unicorn. It was past Vi's bed time, so she's pretty much checked out, but she still looks cute!
