Zzzzzzzzzzz
Hey, where did my extra hour go?! Ella's been waking up at 630 am thanks to daylight savings/torture parents day! ZZZzzzz. I have so much to do but seriously need a LONG nap.
My family comes in this weekend from VA beach. I am sooooooo excited!!! I love when family comes to visit! We are going to have a mini birthday party for Ella (how is she about to turn ONE already?) and I am going to convince them to move here!
I started my Christmas shopping already and I LOVE it! Its so fun to pick stuff out, especially for kids! I am just so cheery...apparently its an NC thing cause the radio stations here are already playing non stop Christmas music, even though its still hot enough for short sleeves (insert thumbs down smiley here)
Soooo, off to clean!

Ella Claire's dedication day
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my father in law Joe! He turns 60 today! I wish we could be there but I hope he has a great day!
Ella got dedicated today and it was a beautiful service. In our old church, they dedicated each baby one at a time, which was nice. Here, they do a few families at once. However, they have all the elders and their wives come and pray for each baby and their respective families. Then the whole church does a declaration of various Bible verses over the babies. It was really nice! Of course, I was about to die because Ella was sleeping and 30 lbs of dead weight in 3 inch heels is NO fun!
After the service, we just went out to eat and then enjoyed the 75 degree weather (I love to rub it in!)
Anyway here are the photos!

The day to day...
Nothing new and exciting to report...we are just doing our thing out here. Steven has been in a LOT of pain with his rheumatoid arthritis so keep him in your prayers. We celebrated our 5th anniversary on 10/4! We're still decorating the house, little by little.
Autumn is slowly but surely making its way down south. Its still in the 70s but the leaves are falling and the foliage is amazing! Here is a pic of the leaves on the tree outside our house...
And our little harvest decor...
The kids are doing great! Josiah has been working on writing his letters and can write most of them. He knows how to write his own name too. He loves to color and he is really into pretending...so he pretends he's at the drive thru, or at the atm, or getting us something to eat. He plays with his stuffed animals as if they are his friends, and never gets tired of harassing Ella (I think big brothers have that wired in their DNA haha). He cracks us up with the things he says like the other day I was getting him a drink...I passed it to him and he responds with "Thank you, my love." hahaha lover boy in the making!
Ella is just as crazy as ever. This little girl is the sweetest thing and loves to makes friends with total strangers. I can just picture her introducing Josiah to all of her friends, since he is so shy. SHe has a temper as well and if you cross her, watch out! I guess its that spanish blood...yikes! Her new favorite word is "stop!" and she says it all the time! Her new tricks are climbing up the stairs (we only knew when she escaped one day and in a matter of 30 seconds was on the 3rd floor!) and attempting to eat with a spoon. Her hair is starting to get long enough for me to play with and I gave her her first pair of pigtails the other day! This is going to be so much fun!
