Update...

... after 2 weeks of sleeping on the floor, last night Ellie slept all night in her big girl bed!! Praise the Lord!!
One happy girl!!
Now if tonight will be the same... we will see!?!
We are enjoying our beautiful Fall day~
We had a very fun weekend! My in laws were in town. We went out to eat Friday night, shopped Saturday & us girls went to a 'favorite things' party. Sunday after they left we went to Knoxville to watch Ellen play.
I am looking forward to recieving the proofs from our Christmas card min session with Lauren Clark!! We went to downtown Kingsport & took lots of pics in 20 minutes. I am a big fan of Lauren with Captured by Clark!!
We have a play date planned tomorrow &a first birthday party this weekend. LOVE~

Happy Halloween

We celebrated Halloween all week! Ellie had some cute & festive clothes, found out she loves candy corn & enjoyed herself at all the parties!

Aunt Neen came for a visit the weekend before. Ellie wore her dress out to eat!
 Saturday night we attended a halloween party & Ellie wore her Ballerina costume
 Happy girl with all the kids at the party~there was a cow girl, scooby & a turkey!
 Sunday, Ellen had a home game so we went to Knoxville! Ryan & Ellie matched & the perfect shade of ORANGE for the Lady Vols!!
I love these 2 babies so much~
 Aunt Maggie, Ellen & Rie with the cousins!! They are so much fun & enjoyed cheering aunt Ellen on to VICTORY over SC
 Ellie holding her favorite cousin Ryan aka Ry-Ry
 Little Halloween play date with Katelyn!
 Ellie's first door to trick or treat at~not sure why the finger is in the nose... It was so cold here, she could not be the cutest ballerina... so we went with plan B, a warm Pumpkin!!
 Daddy & Ellie trick or treating!! We went around with three families here in JC~ 8 parents & 7 kids... we had wagons & strollers & ergo carriers! We had such a fun time.
We ate a quick crock pot dinner then headed out to trick or treat ~6.  Chad actually was off, YAY! He enjoyed getting the candy as much as Ellie did :) Once we made a big circle, it was getting cold so we wrapped it up. Once we got home, Ellie was wired! She played for a hour before we got her to bed. & brief sleeping update... she still gets out of bed & sleeps on the floor right inside her door every night. I put a quilt & pillows down for her. Hopefully, she will realize her bed is more comfortable & warmer, but for now we aren't fighting that battle! Hard to believe it is November now & Thanksgiving is right around the corner ~ we have a busy month ahead. Chad just switched roatations, back to Kingsport.
