First Blog

I created this account awhile ago, but I am just now learning how to navigate the site. I hope to keep everyone up-to-date with our lives.

Bill and I welcomed our first child Ellie Marie on April 14 at 7:44 AM. She was 7 pounds 1o ounces. The first 3 weeks were a roller coaster, but our daughter is healthy and happy and that is all that matters.

This past weekend was my first mothers day and Ellie's baptism. What a great way to celebrate my very first mother's day. We had lots of family at church to support us and it turned out to be a wonderful day.

Ellie just a few hours old.
