Grayson James

We welcomed Grayson James Ellis into the world last night!  We are truly blessed. 

He was born 9/28/2011 at Acibadem Hospital in Adana, Turkey.

We have filled our summer with lots of fun things.  Here are some pictures of a few of them.  Enjoy!

 Using a Pampered Chef tool for more than cooking.  :-)

Hooray!

Braden got his new bed and his room is finally finished! 

Here are some pictures of all the fun we had.

 Braden was shouting "YAY!  My new bed!".

Watermelon

Who doesn't love a good watermelon?  On Sunday evenings we enjoy sitting on the back porch eating a yummy, juicy watermelon.
