How could I forget?

Okay, so I posted a picture of the neckalce my mom got me for Mother's Day, but it slipped my mind that my wonderful husband also got me an amazing present. He got it for me the week before Mother's Day, so that I would have it for Mother's Day weekend when everyone was coming for Ella's dedication at church.
He got me a dining room table...



Of course I picked it out, but he got it for me. He is smart enough to know not to try and pick any furniture out without me and sweet enough to get it for me if I want it. He is an amazing husband and great dad!

And now he is on to the next project that I decided I wanted...new nightstands. But I am not a big fan of matchy matchy bedroom suites so I didn't want to buy anything & I could not find what it was that I was seeing in my head. So, he is making them for me. I did a sketch and gave him all the dimensions and he is going to build it. Yay!

As of today, we have lived in our house one year! And I love it just as much now as I did when we moved in. We found out we were pregnant the day before we signed on the house. The whole searching process was a killer, but when we saw this one we loved it. It was two years old and is in a community with a water park and a golf course, several fishing ponds with cute little ducks, tennis courts and volleyball courts. Oh and little parks like every three blocks so that if you want to go play at the park you don't have to go far. It is perfect for a family. I couldn't be more happy with it.



Another thing that makes me so happy...Ella.



I mean... those cheeks, that smile...LOVE IT! Also, the high pitched squeal that comes with those smiles. I had to post these pics because they are so funny.
