Back from the Heat

Ella and I went to Phoenix for work last week. We left on the 13th and went to Claire's graduation from ASU on the 14th. I think it was over 100 deg almost every day we were there. It was the first time Ella ever sweated! Is that even a word?

Go Claire!!


Then we went out to celebrate with her family at a restraunt in Scottsdale.


Here's a picture of Claire with Ella and Claire's neice Marley who is 3 weeks older than Ella.


Here are my friends Molly and Ryan


and their cute little girl, Maddie


Brad's mom and sisters watched Ella at Brad's grandparent's house while I went to work. One thing I'm starting to learn with this whole having a kid thing is that you can't do it on your own. I don't know what I would have done without Claire, Molly and Brad's family's help.

Brad's mom took his grandma and sisters and I out for tea


Here's Ella with Brad's sister Elizabeth who made this dress for her


Ella finally met Brad's cousin Andy and his wife Meltem
