Ella's first month

Lanita's beautiful smile

Having a nap with Mama at the hospice

Joey got to sit in a fire truck that pulled up at the park. It was responding to a call across from the park but wasn't needed so Joey got quite a treat!

Ella started smiling at 2 weeks but Darren didn't believe me until she was 4 weeks! Same thing happened with Joey and no it was NOT gas!!

Joey must see his dad talk like this...not his mom that's for sure!
