Pedicure

Being the pregnant one, you would think I would be the one getting pedicures. Not in our house. Ellie got some new polish from Nannie today and decided her Dad needed his toenails done. We also got our new recliner today!!

So Grown Up

I just think Ellie is looking and acting so grown up lately. She's so funny! She got a new bikini that she's showing off (one-pieces don't seem to fit her as well because she's pretty tall and thin) and Jeff brought her a new shirt after he came back from camp. She's really in to dressing herself right now, but she usually does a pretty good job of matching everything. She picked out her shoes, pants, and hairbow to match her shirt.

My aunt has hit some bumps in the road, so keep praying that she can have her transplant. The big issues right now are that her kidneys are only functioning at about 24% and they are considering doing her transplant in Arkansas, rather than Nashville. I'll keep you posted.

Please Pray

My aunt, Tishie, is in Nashville today starting her transplant process. She's having tests run, getting chemo, and meeting with the transplant team of doctors to find out more about what is in store for her. They are now saying that there is a 40% chance that she will be cured for life, if all goes well...which is a huge change because before they said life span was about 3-5 years. Please pray that things go well, that she is able to handle the chemo well, and that she remains mentally strong. I'll keep you posted.

New Pictures of Our House

We still have nothing on the walls, lots of unpacking to do, and we need to finish Ellie and Ava's bathroom, Ava's room, and the office, but here are some pictures of our house with our own furniture. We love it!! Our couch just came today and Jeff has been gone all week, so he's not even seen it yet. The next 2 are Ellie's bedroom (thanks to Landy for letting us use her bed and bedding that she used in college - it works perfect for a ladybug room) (I still need to work on decorating Ellie's shelf, too), then our bedroom, out back (thanks to my parents and my in-laws for an early birthday present - money for the patio furniture), 2 of the kitchen, and the dining room (we found our table at a yard sale).

Fun Times!

We have had some great times lately! We've had company several times, gone on a mini-vacation with my parents (where Ellie caught her first fish), and have just enjoyed the summer. That's my niece Elizabeth on the trampoline, and Isabelle reading with Ellie, my best friend Carla, and Ellie is pinching Cade's cheeks (Lista's baby).

Jesus Loves Me

Ellie has created her own lyrics to this song. It goes like this...

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones...
want me to sing all day!
