New Cousin!

So... I know this is our family blog, but I told Brooke and Kat when I was talking to them I would post some pics of Jillian's cute new baby...  and I thought you might want to see her too mom and dad!

Miss Ella Lou Koon (named after Casey's grandma) was born last Tuesday at 4:20 am. Almost exactly 8 months apart from Emma, we just missed it by one day and 10 minutes! She is an absolute gem and the sweetest most calm little girl in the world.  Jefferson is absolutely in LOVE with her. He has told me almost on a daily basis, "She is so cute. Ella is so tiny. She's so little mommy. Lets go see Ella!" He is always asking me to see her and wants to know all about her.

It's fun to have so many cousins, we are beyond lucky! We were with Jillian and her kids for a few days and then Lila and Carson came over for a few days to play too. It made me think how lucky we are to have so many cousins/ built in friends.. I am so thankful for both of my families.
Lila was so sweet to Emma the whole time she was here. She followed me around the house and helped me change her diaper and kept wanting to help feed her. She was so gentle and super concerned anytime she cried, she would never let me leave her side. It was so darling.

Other than that we have been busy thinking about/planning some fun things for Christmas and doing a few house projects. Tay put in some steps in our front yard that look awesome and fixed and painted our lights as well. I am amazed at his vision, he is a better decorator than I am, thanks for teaching him that skill mom!

We are excited to see everyone on Sunday - we miss you!
