January

After the Iyas headed back to Uganda, we celebrated my birthday and the birth of Ellie's newest cousin -- Henry Ellis Mountz. He came late in the day on January 22. We will be birthday buds!

January brought a lot of snow. Ellie didn't seem to notice as long as the driveway was clear enough for her to ride around.

We spent a lot of time looking at pictures of Daniel and Corinne

 I made Ellie a little cardboard house.

My friend took this picture in nursery and sent it to me.

Mom had us and the Fentons over for dinner to celebrate my birthday. It was SO delicious (Mom, I need that recipe). Then we left Ellie at their house while we went to the hospital to meet new Henry Ellis! We found out that he was born on our way to dinner at Mom's. We met him when he was just three hours old!

Ellie loves to play in our closet

Trains are a new favorite toy for Elle

Henry!

I asked Ellie to say cheese and she sat down and posed like this.
