Zoo







We finally got a break from the heat last weekend! It rained for two days straight which was awesome, making Sunday a perfect cool day for the zoo! We tried something new this time...we fed the Lorikeets! We always pass up that exhibit because I'm terrified of birds but I was feeling adventurous so we went in. The people working it said not to touch the birds. Well...the first bird we decided to feed jumped right onto Ella's arm then onto Josh and started eating. Crazy!!! I freaked out and Ella of course wanted out of that place that second! It was pretty cool though after the fact.

Nate and the Girl's Visit



This past week my Josh's brother Nate and our 3 neices came to visit! They are so adorable! Hard to believe the last time we saw them was when Ella and Mia were 6 months old! We were excited to see how the girls would communicate with eachother because they are Deaf and use sign language. At first Ella asked why I was talking so slow and quiet (while using my hands). Then as we explained it she was AMAZED! She wanted to do everything with them including taking baths and sleeping:) They figured out how to communicate and Ella even picked up a few signs herself! We had a great time hanging out, going to the pool and catching up. It was so nice to see you guys! We miss you!!

Updated Ella





Time sure does fly....Ella has grown up so much this summer! She learned how to ride a big bike with training wheels, swim with floaties, chew gum, dance ballet, and best of all use the toilet! We are so proud of her! She has become such a little sweetheart (she always was but even more now that terrible twos seem to be over)! She's so grown up continues to put a smile on our faces a million times a day:)
