Morning Chat

Ella's such a happy baby in the morning and has really been chatting up a storm!

Updates

We have been staying busy, as usual.  Ella's started joining us at the big girl table in her high chair and she couldn't be more thrilled.  She enjoyed watching me color our eggs for Easter and I had to fill her in on the treats from the Easter Bunny. 

While Max was sick Gram and Pop came to help mommy.  Pop, Mommy and I went to the flower fields in Carlsbad.  They're so beautiful and we enjoyed the fun at the fields, we even went through a Sweet Pea maze (similar to a corn maze but with flowers).  Pop wondered if we'd ever find our way out.  Ella stayed with Gram and had some special cuddle time. 

Blackford's Maximillian

As some of you know, we had to say goodbye to a special member of our family last week.  His pedigree reads Blackford's Maximillian.  Although he definitely got into his share of trouble throughout the years (his mother's pedigree read 'Queen of Distruction') he was best at being a constant companion and known for his inexhaustible patience with us girls.  Mommy and daddy could have never imagined the joy and love Max would bring to their lives.  Max lived to be 12 years old, beating many odds for the Boxer breed.  We will always hold such wonderful memories and forever thank him for touching our lives so sweetly.
