Here are a bunch of pictures of Ellie.  She kind of hates taking pictures... so it's hard for us to get ones of her smiling.  But we did get some of her many faces she does all the time.  

 She loves her little baby and carries it around with her.

 Waking up from a nap

 She loves jumping off this little ledge onto the futon mattress.

She also loves her lady and the tramp stuffed animals.  She takes them pretty much everywhere.

This post is dedicated entirely to Lance's dunking skills.  

This gives a little idea of how tall the hoop actually was while he was accomplishing these feats of athleticism.  

 My personal favorite!

My friend Megan came to visit for a few days. We had so much fun!  Between multiple trips to the beach, going to the park, and "discovering" a new pastry shop, I'd say it was a great trip.  Here are a few pictures from one of our trips to the beach.

The Epic Bike Ride

So it's been kind of a long time since the last time I blogged... like a whole year.  So, for a quick update, Ellie is almost 2 and we are having another girl in August.  Update over!  This past weekend, Lance and his dad went on a 35 mile bike ride on the backbone trail.  Here are a few pictures from before the ride.
