Let the good times roll

Well it is almost time for us to take our block off back in the US and we are so excited! Ella Mae is getting so big and is trying to crawl now and i really hope that she waits until we get home so my family can be there for it. We are unbelievable blessed in that all of my sisters and their families will be sharing Thanksgiving with us! We just cannot wait!!!

Ella Mae is growing in leaps and bounds, she is learning so fast and it just blows my mind! She tries so hard to crawl but just hasn't quite got it figured out but any day now. Her teeth have got to be close because you can FINALLY see the raised area where they will come in. She has expanded her "vocabulary" and loves testing her voice at all octaves. She gives kisses by the hundreds, loves to hug and cuddle and has even started patting your back or arm when you cuddle with her. We fall more and more in love with her each and every day!

Things are great in India, although we could do without the fireworks that have been non stop for about a week now. By the time we come home Ella Mae will be able to sleep through ANYTHING! It is so loud here!!! Stacey is back in town for a little while and it was great to finally get to introduce her to Ella Mae! She spoiled the girls with some very adorable outfits and cuddles. Ella Mae is infatuated with her. It is great to have almost the whole group together at the same time, short of one back in the US on block off right now. It has been nearly 9 months since we have all been together! Ella Mae and Kira enjoy each others company and have quite the big sister/little sister relationship going on (they are only 5 months apart). We are bummed that we will be missing sweet Kira's first birthday, but we will be sure to bring her back some goodies from the US!!!

Life is good, what can i say!

**side note, one of these days i will finally have time to finish and post the Rome Blog...there is just so much information to fill in and my "alone" time is limited to small chunks.**
