Halloween, 7 months old & never been to Walmart

A few days before her 7 month milestone, we celebrated Ella's 1st Halloween.  

She. Was. Adorable.

Ella & Fanny aka The Monkey & The Banana 

KISSES!!

I took both girls up to Daddy's office to "Trick or Treat", which is really just showing off your cute kid & furkid when you don't want candy because you know you'll eat it.

Uncle Chip met us up there!

Our girls ~ Halloween 2011

Our little monkey turned 7 months old on November 4th.  

That is crazy!  Where did 7 months go?!?!?!  

Every time I pick her up out of her crib, with that huge, sweet smile on her face, I tell her to slow down.  

This goes way too fast. 

As far as football goes, our season has not been great, but this is what it's all about....FAMILY

And yes, Ella has NEVER been to Walmart!!  Probably why she's so happy all the time!

Thanks for checking in with us!!  Kisses & hugs from our family to yours!!

Life goes on....

as hard as that is, I know that my Dad wouldn't want me to spend one more minute crying.  (I most certainly still will, he just wouldn't want it)  In fact, the last words my Dad ever said to me were "Go take care of Ella."  followed immediately by "I love you."

So, here is what's been going on with us.  Our messy, wonderful, sad & beautiful life!  Albeit maybe a bit late.  ;)

Ella turned 6 months old!!  

This hasn't been the best season, but Ella doesn't care!

Since it's football season we've had a lot of wonderful Mommy & Daughter time but since it's football season there's not usually anyone around to take pictures of us. 

New foods have been a big hit...she is a FANTASTIC eater and a cute one!!

There's been lots of playing by both our girls...

We try to keep Poppa D with us all the time

The 1st time in a parade!

Keeping our feet warm through the season's first cold front

Enjoying time with Uncle Chip!

First overnight in Arkansas, Ella's 5th state to visit
