Our Extra Special Visitors!

We had some extra special visitors this past weekend and were very thankful that they could make the trip. Now don’t get us wrong, all of our visitors are special and dear to us but when Great Grandma Ella and baby Ella get to meet for this first time, that is where the ‘extra’ comes in! Aunt Sherry and Grandma H./Ella got to come and visit for the weekend! Curtis unfortunately missed the visit but it was amazing to have 4 generations under one roof! And it was also pretty awesome to have Ella meet one of the women she was named after. How cool would it be if she could have met Great Great Grandma Grace?! Anyway, Aunt Sherry had a business trip to Raleigh, NC which is about 4 hours from us at the Beach and Grandma came with for this special visit. Julie requested that they go to the Portrait Studio at Oceana where we got Ella’s newborn pictures done so they could get some 4 generation photos. Well, Russ did a FANTASTIC job again, no surprise there and had some GREAT ideas. Ella has a few Christmas shots, as do all of us together. We cannot wait to get the CD and the prints to show everyone!

Here are a couple previews that they posted on Facebook!

4 Generations

Our Little Thumb Sucker

Ella

Ella is doing a LOT better with her cold! The congestion is very minimal and the coughing has been greatly reduced. It is great to finally have her healthy and not suffering. On Tuesday, she will be doing her follow up with the pediatric surgeon to make sure everything still continues to be fine with her bottom. And on Wednesday, Ella has her 4 month wellness appointment and shots L. After that, she won’t have any doctor appointments until her 6 month wellness and pediatric surgeon follow-up. Knock on wood!! She is enjoying rolling and sleeping on her belly now. The past couple nights she has been passed out and sleeping for 9-10 hours straight. Julie has hated waking her in the morning for daycare and work. Too bad we all can’t stay home and just snuggle with one another! Ella’s daycare pictures came back Thursday and Friday afternoon and they are just BAD. Julie is SO happy that they went and got pictures done last weekend because it would honestly be a waste of money for her daycare pictures. Long story short, they are blurry and overall just look bad. I think Russ at the Portrait Studio spoiled us!

Curtis

Curtis is flying back home tonight! We are so excited to have him coming home! Their flight took off around noon which is 3PM E.S.T. and should be getting in around 9PM or so. The other day it snowed in Fallon…brrrr!! It made it a little troubling for the jets to fly when they were covered in ice. Curtis was able to take a picture of the flight line with snow which looked pretty good.

Julie

Julie is good :)  EXCITED to go pick up Curtis so this post may be a little short compared to normal.  So for now, we say goodnight and have a great weekend!  It's time to bring Daddy Spencer home!! :-D

When pictures are available form the studio, we will try and post the information to look at the photos online to share with everyone. :-D



AHHHHH the excitement!
