Here are some new pictures of Ella Grace.

So, we have moved Ella into Bethany's bedroom........Bethany loves it. I took a day off of work last Wednesday, Beth and I went through her room and packed up 5 bags of toys and lots of large toys and stuffed animals and got her room all cleaned out. It looks completely different. Eric and I have started a new xbox game that Micah, Dev, and Eli let us borrow....Halo 3.........awesome game. Kara has been baking in a frenzy over here....cookies, cupcakes, etc. Leandra has been fighting with Amanda (things seem to be coming up missing whenever Amanda leaves). Katie has been hanging out with friends, etc. Tricia is about to start a new job. Ella spoke her first word "hello".......of course she will only say this to Bethany...and now she has been saying "dada". I have been doing nothing but working......Twelve hours Friday, twelve hours today, and a couple of hours on Saturday and a couple on Sunday. Saturday Dave and I replaced his water heater......that took up most of the day. Saturday night I stayed home with the kids while Tricia went to a Bachelorette party. That's about all that is going on around here.

Last weekend Eric and I went fishing and shotgun shooting, so I figured I would post a couple of pictures and videos. I forgot to videotape Eric shooting the shotgun.....but he loved it. We spent the day out on the boat fishing, had lunch, went fishing some more, then packed up and shot shotguns for about a half hour. I was hoping he would not get bored being out there all day, but he did great. We all had a good time, caught a bunch of fish, got away for the day, and blasted some cans with the shotgun. Can't beat that........not only that.......I was out of cellphone range.

So, it's Friday again. Leandra's trying to get out of school. Kara and Ella have a doctor appointment, Katie's mad because it's picture day and she doesn't have any makeup, Eric is watching cartoons, and Tricia, Ella, and Bethany are still asleep. Personally....I am just glad the weekend is here, even if I am on call. I do believe it's Dara's weekend to have the kids too. I am looking into getting a couple of laptops from work for Christmas presents for Katie and Eric. Everyone at work just got new laptops, so I have already talked to Jeff about getting a couple. Not much else going on around here.
