Celebrate Good Times!

Our Big One Year Old!!!

Ella's Uncle Jeff made her birthday cake! We call him the Cake Boss!

Grammy and Grampa!

MeeMaw and PeePaw leaving their "handprint" on Ella's life!

Aunt Bex and Cousin's Zach and Allie came all the way from Georgia!!!

Note to self: Never let Ella eat that much sugar! We suffered big time!!!

This past week was a whirlwind in our life! And we had so much to celebrate! We had lots of family come up for Ella's 1st birthday party and what a day it was!! We celebrated a week early, so that more of our family could be here!

Then, on her actual day, we had a little cake and sang again.

Ella saying "I am One"!!!!

So pretty!!!

This cake was an accident!! A mistake that Publix made that benefited us!

We are truly blessed by all the love and fun we have in our family!!!!

Home

This past week, not only did we celebrate Ella's first birthday, we moved. We absolutely love our new place. We downsized BIG time and love how simple life is now. We live, literally, a mile from the beach. With gorgeous palm tree lined roads, beautiful sunsets, and all the eating and shopping one could want! Our new condo is much smaller and on the fourth floor of our building, but we love the simplicity of it. Ella has a great new room with carpet and sound proof walls! The only downside is Raschelle's work is in the living room, but a lot of mom's cant say they get to work from home!!! We have slowly gotten the place looking like home and are settling in. Here are a few pictures!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Today, this beautiful little blessing we call our "Daughter", turns 1!!! We are filled with joy by her little life on a daily basis. She is stubborn, sweet, gentle, beastly, beautiful, soft, and perfectly made by our creator Lord. She makes our life complete and we are incredibly proud to be called her mommy and daddy! This year has been filled with lots of change and plenty of adventure. We cannot wait to see what the next one brings us! We know that God gave us this precious being and it is our pleasure to raise her to know Him and serve Him!
