Family Trip to the Zoo!

Back in October we took Ella to the Zoo. It was a beautiful day and we had wonderful weather! We even ran into friends of ours in the food area and enjoyed having lunch with them. Here are some pictures from that trip.

Ella & her friend Sara enjoying ice cream after lunch.

The Zoo was fun! Now we need to plan a trip to the Aquarium!

I'm coming back to blog land!

Hello everyone!

It's been so long since we've seen each other. Life has been crazy busy this past year. I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted anything on here. I am happy to report that I am going to start posting again!

I noticed my list of blogs that I follow had completely disappeared when I updated my blog tonight, so with that said, if you are missing from my list please let me know! I tried to remember as many as I could, but you know a year is a long time to forget!

I'm looking forward to chatting again with you all. Hope you have been well. See you soon!

Yes, we went to Florida(back in MAY!) on vacation and had a great time. We've been having a wonderful summer so far and we're very excited to start home school this September! Ella will be starting kindergarten. She's so excited to have mommy as her teacher :)

I will be back soon to post some more of what's been going on, I promise!

Sorry I haven't been around to check on any of you. It's been so busy this summer!
