The begining of a new year

Ella loves playing with her "Little People" and we enjoy listening in on the conversations she makes them have. Common themes are the mommy telling the girl it's time for a nap, playing hide and seek, and recently I overheard the daddy say "bye bye, going to Ghana." then she had him walk across the room and say "Ghana, Ghana, Hi Ghana." Ghana has become a big theme in this 2 year olds life this month as Greg prepared for and left on a 3 week Medical Missions trip to Ghana, Africa. You can see more about what Greg is doing at www.mercyships.org
Hide and seek, or 1-2-3 as it has come to be known in our house, is Ella's favorite game. We play it all the time and since she can only count up to 3 it can be quite exhausting for those of us who are leaping into new hiding places. Here Greg got creative and hid in Ella's tube.

Tea for Summit- who has had a rough season. First he was diagnosed with Lyme disease by routine blood work. He got antibiotics and we'll find out in a few months if it has cleared his body. Then this month he got his tail slammed in a car door. Poor puppy ended up at the vet in the middle of the night getting a portion of his tail amputated and having to be on more antibiotics. He's been a great sport through it all and it's really made us appreciate what a wonderful dog he is.
