favorite things in life

Hold you me. When you have kids, they come up with all sorts of things to say, names to call people, generic sayings. Ella has not been a stranger to this sort of language. The one that has lasted the longest and just warms my heart through and through is "hold you me". She has out grown all her little sayings, but still today, when she wants me to hold her, is it "hold you me"

Baby Kaitlin. OHHH we ADORE this child. This is my absolutely beautiful niece. Ella is obsessed with her. If you come over to our home, Ella has about 20 babies and they are ALL named Kaitlin. The other day when we told her we were getting a baby boy, I asked her what she thought we should name him, her response "baby katie boy". I told her we already had a baby Kait so we would have to find something else. I see how much she loves her baby cousin because it has always been so important to me to be around family. I just can not WAIT to see how she will be with baby boy Hardin soon!!!

This is my new favorite game. Since we moved to our new house, we nearly tripled our square footage. I taught Ella marco polo so if I am in a different spot, we just call our "Marco" "Polo". If you are ever at our house or playing hide and seek with us, you might here "Markers" "Pillow" because that is what my sweet little gal calls it. Geoff and I can not help but smile when we play this game

I love you guys! You are so much fun. I can hear the "hold you me" right now considering I have heard it a million times myself just from being around you. I am so happy for you guys and look forward to the drama this baby boy will bring in to your life!!! And, of course, we are here if you need us.

I LOVE the "hold you me"!! There is nothing better than 3-year old therapy!

Ella is the BEST therapy. They have no idea how to be judgmental at this age. I wish I was like that too...
