Eli is here!

My New Little Buddy!

I decided to make a slide show (at the bottom) instead of trying to upload 12 photos through Blogger. To start off I thought I would post some pictures of the house. We are moving right along and should have bedroom doors and cabinets installed sometime this week!!! Yippee!! There are a few other pictures from Christmas and one from the Ball with my nephew Luke and Ella trying to dance. The best pictures I'm posting, yes I asked for permission to post them, are those of Leslie's new baby Eli Jude!!! He was born on Saturday night around 9:30pm weighing 5lbs. 6oz. and 18 inches long. He is a little guy, but he is doing fantastic and they are already home and doing well! He has got a head full of hair which I am extremely jealous of since neither of mine have ever had much until much later. Actually, I'm still waiting on Hayden. I enjoyed getting to sit around with Leslie on Sunday at the hospital and hold Mr. Eli. He is ADORABLE!!! I'm in love. Anyway, I was wanting to see more of him, but unfortunately Ella got sick over Christmas and I didn't want to spread her germs to anyone at their house. If any of you are following my blog you would have realized that Leslie and Ben made the trip to Abilene on Thursday night and had Eli Saturday. Cut that one a little close!! :0 Ella is finally better and I'm glad to have her over the stomach bug. I hope to never spend Christmas like that again. Hayden is pretty congested right now, so the humidifier is on full blast and the snot bulb is getting alot of use to Hayden's dismay.

Hayden, Jackie and Kate

(I forgot to add this one to the slideshow.)

By the way, has anyone else noticed the baby boom around me. Brooke, Shannon and Leslie all within a week. How fun! Wonderful Christmas presents for their families for sure! God is Great! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! Enjoy the slide show!!
