THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

My Girls

Mia loves to hold her little sister, even when Ella is screaming.  Today I found Mia sitting at the kitchen table, doing her homework while holding her little sister in her lap.  When I ask if I can take Ella to help calm her down, Mia insists, "I can do it Mom."  And sure enough she always finds a way to comfort her little sis.

Ella is my first Blonde baby.  Here's a photo showing just how blonde.  She's just a couple days old in these photos.  

Grandma and Grandpa Swasey came for a visit when she was just two days old.  They stayed for the weekend and it was great having them here.  
Ella loves it when you talk to her.  
Miss Mia has been a really big help.
