A little about Nora!

Nora said she wanted a suprise birthday party. Soooo, it was a week before her birthday, I arranged to pick up her friends Megan and Cassie and take them to Paint on Pottery. The girls hid in Megan's bedroom and jumped out with balloons. Nora was shocked.  I thought she might cry.  It took her a minute to figure out what was going on.  We had a great time. GG, Aunt Nicole T., Emolyn, and my mom and dad joined us at the pottery place. Then we came back to our house for a swim.

We stopped at Jamba Juice, an Ellis family favorite!!

Megan, Nora and Cassie!  They are all seven!

Nora's favorite present was crutches from her Grandma Beckie!!

Hair Cuts!!

Nicole Thompson inspired me to start blogging. I scrapped for a season but life is going too fast for me to keep up. I have been wistfully wishing to document the growing up years of my kids but knew time is limited. Blogging seems like a good middle ground. Plus, I have to keep up with Emolyn (my beautiful niece). So here is my first try.

Benjamin finally decided to chop off all his hair! He was very excited about it. The Hunters and LaPlantes were over. Bonny trimmed up Winston's hair first. He was nervous she would cut it too short, but this is her third time trimming his hair. He was very pleased with the results. Winston did not want everyone watching. Then Benjamin called everyone in to watch. Uncle Chuck buzzed it for him. Quinn buzzed his too. I won't post anything until we get home from vacation as I have lost my wire to connect my camera to the computer. We are headed to Legoland and Palm Springs!!
