New Puppy!

We got a new puppy.

His name is Conan.

He's a shepherd mix.

And... he and ella are best friends!

This is how she sucks her thumb

Not quite a picture with a puppy, but still very cute.

And I threw this one in just for fun, because Ella is clearly loving life.

Recent Happenings

This is Ella helping me to clean the bathrooms.
She hangs out and plays with toys, and I clean.

Already a MAC user. 

I'm so proud

We went to the park, and played on the swings

Ella loved it!

Our life revolves around me studying and Ky at work.

Sorry we aren't very interesting!

Daycare

Ella had her first day of daycare.

Kyle and I were very sad...

but Ella was pumped!

P.S. Notice the teeth! The front right tooth isn't in quite yet. Teething is fun...

Better late than never..

I found a whole bunch of pictures from our trip to California, so I decided to post them even though that was about 2 months ago.

Dorothy and Ella 

(Sorry for the blurry. I still think it's cute)

Feet in the ocean. Don't worry, she loves it
