What's Cooking Good Looking?

Daddy and Ava decided to make chocolate chip cookies. Bribery has become a central part of Ava starting to try new foods. She has finally deviated from noodles and cereal and is trying healthy foods as long as we promise her a cookie for dessert.

Ellie's Baptism

Ellie's Baptism was on January 10, 2010 at Community United Methodist Church. Immediately family and Grandparents came up to help us celebrate the big day. It was a beautiful ceremony and we thank God everyday for blessing us with our precious Ellie Katherine.
