It would only be proper to start this blog of updates with the news that Anna and I are expecting again. If all goes as planned we will add another member to our family in July 2010! I do not think Ella knows what’s coming but she at least looks happy to get a picture with her shirt on with the announcement below.
On that note, Ella will celebrate her second birthday on February 15, 2010. We are still deciding on what theme for her party and gift….any ideas? Here are a few pictures from her party last year…my how they grow in one year!
This is Ella with our great friends, Jana and Matt. They are having their twin boys, Shepherd and Spencer, TODAY at 11am! We are very excited for them!
REVIEW OF PAST EVENTS:
The month of December had many events in the area to enjoy. The two that I attended were both in Opelika. The first was the Victorian Porch Tour. Anna and I look forward to visiting the Historic District in Opelika to see it all lit up for the holidays. This year was no different. It is like stepping back in time to drive down the streets and avenues lined with Victorian figures of yesteryear. This is a free event every year and if you have not in the past driven or walked through the ‘trail’ you need to add it to your plans in 2010.

Corresponding with the Victorian Porch Tour was Christmas in a Railroad Town in downtown Opelika. Even though temperatures were in the 30’s we braved the elements for just a few minutes of fun. We enjoyed walking the streets, looking in shops, drinking hot chocolate and Santa Claus. The hit of the evening for Ella was the singing of the Ya Hooters. They were very entertaining and Ella and Brooks (see below) really enjoyed the show. 
Ella and Brooks...IT WAS COLD!!
