Bedtime Routine

Our bedtime routine has taken a little twist in the last few weeks. That little twist's name is Juliette. Usually she just sleeps peacefully while Ella goes bonkos!

Ella is getting really good with her books these days. She'll even sit on her own and say some of the pictures she recognizes like the doggies or she'll make the "roar" sound of the lion.
Once it's bedtime, Ella will help clean up her books and toys and then usually go right to sleep.
We are so proud of her!





Grandma Jo-Ann

This week Grandma Jo-Ann was here to help us out. Ella had an especially good time with her grandma walking to the park and splashing around in the puddles. On Thursday night , Grandma and Juliette bonded while Mommy and Daddy got out for a date night.

Sisters

Ella and Juliette are getting along nicely these days. Here they are agreeing that Grandma was so nice to bring them matching outfits. Thanks Grandma Jo-Ann!

Ella's Sleepover






While Juliette was entering this world, Ella spent the night with our good friends Keith and Melissa. Ella was especially excited to be spending some time with her boyfriend, Hudson. Here they are reading together. It is good to see that they already have some common interests.

Juliette's First Wedding.

Congratulations to Alex and Steve who got married last Saturday! Juliette had the chance to attend her first wedding. This picture shows that Ella was quite jealous that Juliette was wearing her pink dress. Ella had a great time with her Grandpa Rob that evening.

Family Picnic

Last Friday we went for a family picnic. Everyone was quite well behaved and we even had time for some gelato afterwards.





Grandpa Clark was in town and had a visit with Ella and Juliette.


Ella has had a runny nose lately. She kind of knows how to blow her own nose now.

Feeding Ducks


This is Ella's idea of feeding the ducks. I guess she just loves her bread too much!
Ella loves to push her little sister on the swing. She is also very interested in the animals on her sleeper.

Barn Door


Juliette snores when she sleeps and it sounds like a creaking barn door. You may need to turn it up a little to hear her.
