Here it goes

I have been put to shame by you all that have kids and still have time to "blog", so here it goes...
Our Life!

Ella Tate Alsup was born on September 18th at 3:07 in the afternoon at Centennial Women's Hospital. She weighed 7 lbs. and 3 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long.

A healthy baby girl!
Since we came home from the hospital we have been very busy. I won't bore you with too many details, but here are a few pictures to bring you all up to date on what we have been up to for the past 7 weeks.


I had to put some pictures of Ella Tate's nursery on here...it is my favorite room in the house!


Didn't my friend, Kathy, do a WONDEFUL job painting the chest of drawers!

Hunter's family from Sparta came to see Ella Tate when she was 1 week old.

I knew you were pregnant but wasn't sure when you were due. Ella Tate is beautiful and I am so happy I found your blog, now I can keep up with her. I hope everything is going well, is she sleeping through the night? Everything gets so much easier once they are sleeping. Do y'all still live in Crieve Hall? I would love to get together for a play date or go on a walk someime to catch up and let the girls meet.
