1st Haircut!

We traveled to Atlanta last week with Lori for all four of our kids to model for a photography workshop (more on that later). Since I wanted Ella to be especially cute and well groomed for that, I new it was time for her 1st haircut. We went to see Ms. Robin at Inspire Salon (she's been cutting my mom's and my hair for years...I think since back in the 90's) and she got a little trim just to even everything up. Ella went with me to get a haircut a few weeks ago and ever since she has been asking to get one of her own. So she was especially excited that day and talked about it all morning until our appointment. And she did so well in the chair...sat very still (which we all know is rare for Ella) and watched herself in the mirror.

Very excited before beginning:

And voila! All done!

Thanks Ms. Robin!

Anna's Baptism

Anna was baptized at Frazer on September 6th, 2009. She did great! John Schmidt, our contemporary teaching pastor performed the ceremony and Anna was just as sweet as she could be through the whole thing. He also baptized Ella two years ago on September 9th, 2007. After the worship service we had a small reception in the parlor. It was a good day!

Lori took the pictures for us at the church and did an awesome job as usual!






Had to get a Cake Design cake for the occasion...yummy!!

At the reception Anna was very content to be all snuggled up and sleep the time away

We even graced the cover of this week's bulletin!

For fun, a pic from Ella's baptism two years ago. When John put the water on her head, she went crazy trying to lick it as it dripped down her face

I have a video and spent a ton of time trying to upload it but couldn't get it to work. Oh well...

Enjoying Family and Friends

A bunch of family and friends came into town last weekend to celebrate my dad's retirement and Anna's baptism (more pictures of both coming soon). It was so much fun to spend time with everyone. There were lots of laughs that weekend for sure!

What happens when my dad gets a hold of the camera without supervision and without his glasses on? You get lots of blurry, crazy photos! Oh well, better blurry and crazy than none at all. :-)

PopPop and his girls before leaving for his ceremony:

A few weeks ago I posted a picture of the girls with Mawmaw...here they are with their other great-grandma Grams who flew in from Sedona, AZ:


Acting silly with PopPop's helmet:

Ella working on her Corn Hole skills:

Anna spending a little bonding time with Aunt Sis:

All the women on my mom's side of the family (mom, aunt, grandmother, etc. except me) have beautiful blue eyes so I guess that's where Anna gets her baby blues from:

It's Never Too Dark to Be Cool

...according to Ella anyways.

Anna just hanging out in her exersaucer and watching her crazy sister.

Roll Over Anna!

Anna is so close to rolling over...she tries and tries and just can't get the momentum. It'll be soon though I think. Ella encourages her by yelling "Roll Over Anna" repeatedly. I'm not sure it helps. :-)

Charlie the Dog standing guard (Anna puts her little hands up by her face a lot these days. I think it's so cute!):

When We're Bored...

What do we do at our house when we're bored? Why, we take pictures of course!!
Hamburger anyone?

Abby the Dog

Where ever Anna is, Ella is never very far from her...she loves her to death!
