Getting ready to hit the road!

So the packing and trip planning have begun! We are driving to spring training in Florida! I think Ella's stuff will take up all the room lol 😉

We are spending our last weekend in Santa Cruz visiting with family and friends and soaking up all the beauty we can. We have had such a great off season and we feel so blessed to have such great support!

Ella is growing so fast and is so strong! She will be 3 months this week! i cannot believe it!! She can lift her head and chest off her play matt and is rolling over from belly to back! Her personality is coming out more and more each day and she is starting to make little coos 💕 man I love that girl!

She had her first trip to the Monterey bay aquarium with van and Marc, Maddie and
Gavin... It was a fish feeding, nursing baby party lol. Ella's favorite part was the penguins ☺

Her other favorite times have been hanging with her uncle Trav & best bud Van... They love each other and I'm sure she will miss them lots!

It's a new year!!!

Well it looks like I am just going to have to schedule a time for me to sit down and post. I cannot believe that Ella is already 9 weeks old!!! I seriously need to find the slow down button!

Right now we are planing and prepping for our trip across country to spring training in Florida... Yes, we are driving!!! I think we are a little nuts but it will make for a great story later lol. Poor Ella has no idea what she was born into haha.

Ill post some pics below of a basic recap from Ella's 2 week mark to now. So much has happened and so much has changed!! We are thankful for the 2012 but even more excited for 2013. So many wonderful memories to come!!

We have 3 more weeks in Santa Cruz and then we are headed out to start the new baseball year with a new team in a new spring training complex with a new baby! Lots of new thing!! Praying for Gods guidance and protection & for His plan to be carried out. May we step out so God can step in :)

I want to lastly thank everyone for all your love, prayers and support! We are spiked and Ella is so lucky to have you all in her life! I'm still working on sending out the rest of the thank you cards so bare with me! I'm sorry it's taking sooo long!! :/

Love you all!! Happy New Year!!!
