Ella's first 4th

Brennan, Ella, and I had a great 4th of July.  We didn't do much but just enjoy the day and each other.  After going to the gym, Brennan and I swam while Ella took a nap.  After the nap she joined us in the pool.  She didn't know what to think.  At first she was very timid, but then she started splashing around.  She is definitely Brennan's girl.  That night my family came up to my parents' house and we had just a great night of food, croquet, more swimming, more food, and of course fireworks.  We had a great night.  I love the 4th!

Summer has begun

I can't figure out this whole blogging bit.  But, I have seen a couple of our friends lately and I knew I needed to get on this.  So, I have now officially joined the blogging world.  I think it is a great way for friends (here and there) to check in on each other.  

Ella is growing up right before our eyes.  She is now 5 months old and is putting everything in her mouth.  At her 4 month check up she weighed 13 lbs. and 4 oz. and was 25 inches long.    As you can all see, she looks just like her daddy.  Not much Swensen in her.  She is so much fun.  I am loving being a mom.  

I finally finished school.  It was a hard year.  Especially when I had to go back and finish out the year.  But now I am done.  I decided to take a year leave of absence and stay home with Ella.  Then I can decide if I want to go back next year.  

Well, keep checking up on the Snows.  We would love to hear from you.
