8th Month Video

So, here is the video I promised. It's 4 min 7 seconds long, so if it takes a while to upload or whatever that's probably why. It's been so much fun being with her. I hope you enjoy a taste of our days.

Happy Halloween

Here are some pictures of us on Halloween. We were the 3 Amigos (from the movie).

New Video

So, this isn't the video that shows Ellie in her element. Sarah has been learning about photography and photoshop lately and this is her first attempt. As soon as we have more room on the computer we'll be posting that one. As a teaser, Ellie was listening to Music and the Spoken Word before church one day and 'conducted' the choir. It was so cute.

Trying to post

So, all is well. My back is great, Ellie is great and so is Michael. We've been trying to make another video, but we have too much on our computer. We have to archive stuff before we can finish it. *sigh* hopefully, we'll be able to post soon.

Problems

So, Sarah picked up Ellie Tuesday morning and felt some pain in her back. Then she tried picking her up again that afternoon and was out. We're sure it's not bone; looks like she just stretched out a ligament or some muscle. She's on the mend and should be able to hold Ellie in a day or two.

News!!!

Ellie has grown up in just one day. Along with the news of this video, Ellie also stood up in her crib! We moved the bed down for safety and she stood up in it this morning!!! It's a good thing that her legs are still a little too short to climb out.

A Play Date

Ellie spent over 20 minutes just staring at Brinley (from the ward). By the way, Brinley is 2 weeks older. Ellie, as you can tell from the video, is a bit closer to crawling. Having a crawling baby around got me to baby-proof the bookcase in the front room today. :)

The Last 2 Months

Michael and I have had a blast being with Ellie (and I think Ellie has, too, judging on this video). Ellie is just about to crawl. Any day now and I think I'll be getting a lot more exercise than I am now!

I hope you enjoy the update!

Half an Update

So, this isn't the all out update that we normally do. We have all the pictures in Provo and we are house-sitting for Grannie in South Jordan. I'll give a real update as soon as we get back.

Michael is doing really well in school (he just found out that he got 100% on his latest assignment), Ellie is almost crawling. She makes to almost do it and than decides that it's too hard. Sarah is just enjoying living with her two favorite people.
