North Carolina Spring Break 2008

Ella and I enjoyed a week long visit with my parents the end of April. My mom, the teacher, was on Spring Break and my Dad was also fortunate to be off that week as well. As always, we had a wonderful time! The only thing that would have made it better could have been Dan joining us. Everything was in bloom and it was amazing! Even my allergies weren't too bad while we were there.

Ella played with Grandmommy and spent time in the pasture with Granddaddy and all the animals. She danced and rode on a mini ATV. She loved playing with her cousins, Ezra and Cyrus! She wanted to stay longer!

We visited with family and friends and even met the newest addition to the Hardin clan, Jonah Cai Hardin. Jonah was born April 17th and is an absolute cutie!

Our visits never last long enough, but we do love to visit North Carolina!

Dan, Ella and I are all looking forward to seeing my family again at the beach this summer for our annual family vacation and are simply counting the days!

Ella's First Playset




Check our this very short clip of Ella's first playset. Unfortunately, the battery was low in the camera and of course we didn't realize it until it suddenly stopped recording. I guess that will teach us to be a bit more prepared in the future for these important moments. Enjoy!
