Spring is here!

The last couple weeks have been absolutely gorgeous. The weather has been in the high 70's and the trees and flowers are in bloom everywhere. After the cold, long winters in St. louis this is nothing more than wonderful. It has allowed Ella and I to spend the majority of our days outside walking, playing with our neighbors and grilling out when daddy gets home. Spring time has definitly become my most favorite season of the year.

These pictures were taken at the StL Botanical Gardens. We spent one of our mornings there with friends this last week. I am hoping to convince Ben to go back with me in the next week when it will be peak season here.

Ella is almost two months! I can't believe that she has been with us that long--the days have flown by for us. She is continuing to grow, learn new things and keep us smiling. I am still begging her to give me a smile, i know it is in there but she hasn't figured it out quite yet. As soon as she does i will share it with you all. Here are a few shots of her from the past couple weeks.

Ella last weekend after a long hike with her mommy and daddy. Just chilling in the trunk of our car. I think that may be a smile... Ella's favorite past time--blowing lots & lots of bubbles
