Six Years and Two Kids

What a week! Today is our six-year wedding anniversary, and its crazy how much life has changed - and how quickly it flew by. Honestly, it's hard to remember what we did before we had these crazy kids, although I'm pretty sure we slept a lot more. To celebrate, we went on a bike ride and enjoyed a picnic by the lake, just like we did the day Jeritt proposed. It was a beautiful day, and since we spent most of the gorgeous weekend on potty training lock down, it was really nice to get out and enjoy the weather. Yes, Ella is officially done with diapers. She's been back and forth on the potty training spectrum, but I felt that she was ready, so we spent a lot of time at home over the past few days. So far, she's doing great! This week also brought the goodbye we've been dreading, as Cousin Abbie and Eric leave for their new home in Washington, D.C., in a couple of days. They'll be very missed, but it's a good reason to take a family vacation to our nation's capital! 

Picnic by the lake.

Wearing undies proudly! And so is Moo Cow:)

Not sure what to do with the pinata at her friend, Bennett's, 3rd birthday party.

The party had a fire truck theme.

When you're stuck in the house potty training, you wash your bike on the roof!

Jack was able to sneak in a trip to the park.

Ella found one of Jeritt's old stuffed animals, and Jack liked snuggling with it.

Miss Independent has been dressing herself lately; hence, the Halloween socks with this crazy outfit.

Play dough is great for indoor fun!

Another stellar outfit. She actually wore this to the library, and the librarian complimented her on her shoes and said she had some just like that. I hope she wears hers with pants.

He made it all of the way over to the stairs and then looked up at them longingly.

Abbie and Eric gave Ella and Jack a book about Clifford the Big Red Dog visiting Washington. She loves it!

Jack finally found his way into the play room. Ella was not impressed.

Moo Cow is a big girl, too.

More play dough.

Dr. Ella performed a lot of checkups this week.

Ella wanted to see our wedding video, and later in the day, when her friend, Morgan, came to visit, she declared that they were getting married! 

My good friend, Laurie (Morgan's mommy).

Giving Morgan a check up. 

She told me she was going to work - laptop, phone, and beverage - I think she's set! And again, this is another "Outfit by Ella."
