Just me and Ellie Jane!

So, Chad found out this morning that he had to go into work tonight at 8:30pm. Ellie Jane and I went to visit some friends and had a great time. When I got home, it was time to put Ellie Jane down for bed. Normally, I just say a little prayer with her, and give her kisses and lay her down in her bed. Tonight, I just held her and rocked her forever. I just looked at her and cried, tears of joy! She is so beautiful and sweet. I loved having girl time with her, and just holding her, and letting her fall asleep on me. I did not want to put her down!

Visit to Kansas

Riding in the car- on the way to see Uncle Bubba!!

Ricky is the last one on the row!!

It has been a few months since I have posted- sorry! Been super busy with school, and taking care of the fam! Well last weekend, we got the oppurtunity to go visit my little brother in Kansas! He goes to Saint Johns Military School- and is a senior this year. Gosh, its crazy to think he is a senior! I remember when we adopted him at the age of 5! Time goes by so fast! He playes football for the school and we got lucky that it was a home game the weekend we went down. He has grown up so much the past few months! Just ask that you all pray for me, the only bad thing that happened was that Ricky signed up for the military. He leaves July 20th for training to be a Combat Engineer! I guess I should not look at it as a bad thing, cause this is something he feels called to do, and he wants to do. But, this is my bubba, and will always be my bubba no matter how old he is. Just having a hard time knowing that he is actually in for real now! The papers are signed! We had a great time visiting him though- Ellie Jane loves her Uncle Bubba! Here are a few pictures from the weekend! Oh yeah- On Friday and Saturday the high was 34 in Kansas! it snowed and we froze! Thats why Ellie Jane is all bundled up!

Fourth of July

Ellie Jane loves Wyatt! She gives kisses now!
Wonder where Ellie Jane gets her personality from!

She would not stop making silly faces!
So cute! Happy Fourth!
The three cousins!!
Fun time Splashing!

We had a great time with family for the Fourth of July weekend. We all went down to the lake house. Ellie Jane, Wyatt, and Landon had the most fun, playing in the pool, and posing for pictures. They also loved watching the fireworks. I thought it would scare Ellie Jane to death, but she loved them. My dad bought a boat, so we had us some fun too. It is so cool having Ellie Jane and Wyatt being so close in age. Jodi and I can share such great memories together, and we are enjoying so much. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Well, here goes my very first blog ever.  Jodi is making me do this!  Just to catch everyone up on the past four months- Chad and I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl.  Her names is Ellie Jane Cummings, and has brightened our world tremendously.  She is growing so fast, its crazy.  We love to watch her each day, as she changes and does new things.   I am working as a teacher, and Chad is still doing his graphic designer thing.  Ellie Jane goes to a little home care down the road.  She loves Mrs. Janelle so so much, and Chad and I feel so comfortable taking her their each day.  Hopefully, one day I will be able to stay home with her.  That is mine and Jodi's dream!  

The Lord has truly blessed us, and will continue to bless us, as we trust in Him each day!!
