My college girlfriends (Katie, Melanie and Steph), my sister-in-law (Erin) and my friend and co-worker (Dayla) met in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in February. What an awesome 5 days! Here we are at our final dinner in a picture with our waiters, sunburned and not quite ready to get back to reality. Special thanks to our wonderful husbands for taking care of things back home so we could get away!

Moms need Spring Break, too!
Ella's Birthday Party
Ella had a "Princess Party" for her birthday. We celebrated with some family friends and had a great time. 
Ella was excited to show all her friends her new "big girl bed". She tucked her little buddy Hunter right up! Aaron will probably stop the practice of letting boys in the girls' bedrooms very soon, in fact, someday boys may be banned from the house all together. 
Gift opening! 
Olivia, Ella, Lauren and Madeline goof for the camera. They are the daughters of our close friends, Scott and Eileen, and live in Portland. Madeline and Olivia are only 3 weeks apart in age, while Ella and Lauren are only 3 months apart.

Madeline's Actual Birthday 2-1-07
Madeline had a Birthday Breakfast with her family because Dad had to work that night. After dinner, though, Mom had some cupcakes waiting for the Birthday Girl and we opened a gift from Grandma & Grandpa Gordon.
Madeline's 6th Birthday Party
Madeline's birthday party was held at the new bowling alley in town. The kids had a blast during the "Cosmic Bowling" session, which included cool light shows and music while everyone bowled. It was a whirlwind 2 hours.

Ella's Mini-Haircut
I finally broke down and cut Ella's hair. Okay, I just cut some bangs. I'm slowly working towards cutting some length off, too. But bangs are fine for now!

Ella's First Pumpkin Pie!
We had to "practice" making our pumpkin pie since Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Ella helped me make a pie for the first time, and she was so helpful! It was fun to watch her sniff and smell all the ingredients as we put them in. She was the "stirrer" and kept telling me what I needed to do next, so that was a big help also...
Cuddle Monkeys
I have to take a picture of them whenever I find them getting along and being SO CUTE! :-)
Baby Remily
Mark and Mandy's baby has arrived! Alexandria was born on November 4th. She already had a full head of thick black hair. She's beautiful!

Madeline's "weather artwork" was published in the Albany Democrat-Herald back in September. She didn't really think much of it, but I was a proud mama...showing everyone at work and printing off color copies.

A Big Girl Haircut
Madeline has wanted short hair for awhile now, so I finally took her to have it done. She cut 10" off, enough to donate to "Locks of Love", an organization that makes hair prosethetics for children who have lost their hair to due to a medical condition called alopecia areata. The new cut totally fits our Madeline...
We have a Kindergartner in the house!
September 6th was a big day for Madeline. She is now in Kindergarten! She was a little worried, but she is crusing right along now. Her favorite "subject" is math! I had better line up a tutor now! It was a big day for Ella, too. She started in the Garden Room the same day, a step up from the Meadow Room where she had been for the last year. I'm proud of our girls!
Final Summer Outing
We decided to head to Foster Lake to have one last blast before the summer ended. Good thing we went since that was one of the last hot days we had...

Izzie and da bears
This was too cute! Madeline had lined up all her Care Bears before she went to bed. Izzie came along later that night and decided to take a nap in the midst of all the bears.

New Photo Show
I added a new picture show to our "video website": http://photoshow.comcast.net/ellainad/ It's called "Summer 2006". It's kind of short, but all I had time for. Enjoy!
