Welcome to our new family blog! We have decided to condense our three blogs (Ella, Eric, and Family), to one big family blog. We hope you like this new setup and will continue to enjoy this sneek peek into our family's daily adventures and lives.
Ella has been quite the budding artist as of late. She has been wanting to create and color all week. If there is a picture, she wants to color it. I have found the internet to be the best place to find coloring pages, as she can tell me what she wants to color and I can usually find it online. Who needs coloring books anymore?! Ella is doing really well staying in the lines now and is very creative. She loves utizling all the colors of the rainbow, when she colors. You may see a tree and she knows what color a tree should be, but she makes every picture her own with lots of fun colors.
Ella had lots of fun painting a picture of her bunny, after mixing paint colors. Her proudest work of art yet, this still hangs in our playroom.
We wrapped up the fall season of soccer with jump castles. Unfortanatly, we missed her soccer game as we were attending a baptism class at church. She was so happy to receive her soccer trophy though and made such wonderful improvement over the season. We look forward to next season.
Eric is on the brink of walking. Just yesterday, we noticed he took a solo step toward the piano from the bench. A bit more confidence and he'll be off and running. In the mean time, he's taking it easy in his lounge chair. Usually, he's utilizing this chair as a climbing apparatus and see saw. However, after playing hard you may find him just sitting quitely for a moment like this.
We're planning a quick trip to Florida for Thanksgiving and we're supposed to leave tomorrow. However, as I write this email Ella is sick with fever. We're all crossing our fingers that she is well enough to travel tomorrow. Hopefully, next week I will be posting pictures from Florida.
