Going to Work

This evening after we finished eating dinner, Ella told us that she had to drive Juju to work. Apparently Juju works at Costco on the "cash registerster". Ella informed us that Juju is too little to "touch the Costco ceiling" though. Ella works at a "trunking company", she recently switched jobs from where she used to go to work at "the bank". Coincidentally, our friend Miriam just went through the same job transition.


Rainy Day Fun

After returning from the beautiful weather in Phoenix, we were stuck inside for a couple of days last week because of the rain. We found some fun inside activities to do, including filling the bath with bubbles and putting our hands in. In the picture above, Ella is putting on her 'bubble beard', and below Ella decided she should 'wash Juju's hair' with the bubbles.

A visit from Jonas...

The other day we had a visit from Jonas while Kara took baby Mattias to the doctor. Ella, Juliette and Jonas had a great time playing together, but Ella and Jonas couldn't quite agree on Ella's age. The conversations of 2 and 1/2 year-olds are pretty funny!

Baby #3

Baby #3 had a big day on Thursday. First we had an ultrasound, and then a doctor's appointment. The ultrasound went really well and although we haven't received the full report details from our doctor yet, everything looked great. We were able to see both sides of baby's brain, hands with 5 fingers, feet with 5 toes, the umbilical cord, kidneys, the liver, and the spine. The baby was very active during the ultrasound and was flipping around and kicking. It was so cool to see. The whole family came in at the end of the appointment, and Ella asked "is that our baby"? She was intrigued with baby's movements and told everybody about how baby was flipping inside of Mamma's tummy. Whether baby is a boy or girl will remain unknown until the day of birth... any guesses? Spencer thinks he saw male parts during the ultrasound, but I'm pretty sure he thought he saw this at our other ultrasounds as well :)

In the above picture you can see baby's hand with 5 fingers, baby's head (off to the right) and baby's legs (to the left).

In the below picture you can see baby's toes.

Off to Arizona...

Last Thursday, we travelled to Phoenix for Uncle and Auntie Jaynie's wedding. Here are the girls waiting to get on the plane. We flew from Bellingham - Mesa. The girls did so well on the plane and we had a great time in Phoenix.

The hotel we stayed at was amazing. We were treated to our room, thank-you Uncle and Auntie Jaynie!

There was a park for the kids to play on and we also tried some croquet.


Uncle and Auntie Jaynie's Wedding

After Momma finished getting her hair done, the hairdresser curled Ella's hair as well.
The girls looked like little dolls in their flower girl dresses.
