Big Month, Big News!

It's been a big month! Meeting Ellie's new cousin Rachel Grace (born 3/22/12) with beautiful dark hair! Ellie's first Easter, her first time being sick,  hosting the team leaders (who will be serving with us at the summer training program), hosting both grandparents for a weekend each, and celebrating Ellie's birthday (last week). All while trying to keep up with normal things on campus, wrap up the semester, prepare for Spring Hill (Noah is directing the summer training program) and pack for a month at camp (we leave next week).

Oh, and did I mention our big news- we're expecting #2!! :) We are due November 20, and are so very, very excited! Although we never dreamed we would have kids 19 months apart, the Lord's timing and provision have been SO clear already. It is really incredible!

Ellie turned 1 and 2 days later we had our first doctor appointment for our second baby! They weren't able to find the heartbeat (not uncommon as we were less than 12 weeks) but that meant we got to have a bedside sono and SEE the little one! It made it all so real! I think it is almost more exciting the second time around as I know the different milestones and what to expect- and there is just so much anticipation for each one!

If you want to read on- there are lots of pictures of Ellie's latest adventures, but if nothing else, take a second to look at our big girl, soon to be a big sister :)

Read on for some of Ellie's latest happenings :) 
Picture
1. Ellie has a play time each morning in her"Ellie corner" in our living room.  She loves making a big mess and enjoying her toys. :)

Picture
2. Ellie loves nothing more than when daddy comes home! We like to go meet him at the bus stop :) Daddy can really make her giggle when he tickles her!

Picture
3. Ellie got a birthday MONTH!  Both grand-parents came for a weekend each, PLUS a party with some friends on her actual birthday. And did I mention- she had her first cookie and cupcake? She loved both, of course.

Picture
5. Ellie's first Easter. (She was born the day after Easter, so this was long awaited!) Unfortu-nately she was really sick. (And ended up being sick for 10+days!) I didn't know how nasty a cough/cold could be! It was her first time being sick, but she just didn't really take naps or sleep through the night for a long time. For a girl who loves her sleep, this was pretty awful!

Picture
6. Just an adorable shot. We have found that Ellie likes the calm and quiet (not the crazy lifestyle she was born into of LOTS of action and people!) She's happiest at home with mama & daddy :) 

Picture
7. Ellie has no desire to be on her tummy (so crawling is not seeming to be a part of the near future!) But she finds a way to get where she wants to go (although most of the time she's pretty content to just stay put :))

8. Mommy's Girl :)
I wore this dress for my 12 month pictures. :) She looks a LOT like me at this age :)

Picture
9. What a polite girl- opening her card first!I think I'll just put a bunch of pictures below of Ellie's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!! 

Picture
10. Ellie showing off her pigtails while swinging :) It has been much cooler than it was in February and March, but we're still enjoying time outside on walks or at the park :) We're gearing up for a month at camp (We leave in just over a week for Spring Hill STP)

Ellie's 1st Birthday. What an amazing year it has been! You have been such a wonderful baby, and a perfect addition to our family! Happy Birthday Ellie Marie!
