Forever and a Day

It's been so long since posting, I had to log back into my site.  I'm not sure that's ever happened, but I have good excuses!  We're finally moved in (more on that in future posts), soccer started, T-ball begins tomorrow and my biggest event of the year loads in next week.  Needless to say, things have been hoppin' around here.  ​

Among my most favorite events of the past few weeks were the birth of our dear friends' son (I got to see him first!) and a long-overdue visit with my sister-in-law and baby Josh.  ​

Isn't he handsome?  You can read all about him on his mama's blog by clicking here.

And oh! Baby Josh.  He has come such a long, long way.  Those eyes!  And that sweet personality.  He's going to be trouble for the ladies, I just know it.  Fortunately, he's got parents who know how to handle the most incredible punches.  They're already two steps ahead of him.  ​

We had a very big day last weekend watching Ella play in her first soccer game.  She was hopping and running all over the field with excitement -- it was impossible to watch her without a huge, goofy grin on our faces. ​ After taking a freezing-cold soccer ball to the face while playing goalie during practice earlier in the week, I was so proud of her for getting back out there with gusto.

It was in the 30's, but that didn't stop the Ella cheering section from showing up.  I think Dad was doing his best to remain calm and cool, not taking his eyes of the field and his little girl.​

A little out of order, a glimpse of our first morning in the new house...​

Promise I didn't set them up to all play together.  They were so overjoyed to have all of their toys back after three long months in storage!​

I'd say everyone's settling in pretty well.  The new tub is sure getting a workout.  ​
