So Here is A Mid Year Update.....................

Wow! Time flies faster and faster each year!! Joseph will be 5 in 3 weeks and Ella is 9 1/2 months old. Joseph just finished up K-4 and loved it. He grew up so much this year! Ella is crawling and pulling up everywhere and would run after her brother if she could. It has been such a joy to watch her interact with him. She can say Dada, Mama, Papa, Bye Bye and wave. She's a mess! We have truly been blessed with 2 beautiful, healthy children. So here is the last few months in pictures.......

 We love summertime at our house and are looking forward to beach and pool time all summer long!!!

Getting You Up To Date on 2010!

So it has been hard for me to blog these days....for that matter I can't even keep up with posting pictures on Facebook!! So to catch you up where we left off this summer.......

Ella Nicole was born August 12, 2010 weighing in at 7 lbs 11 oz. She has been a joy and an extremely good baby for that matter. And I think big brother will keep her!!! He loves her and is very protective of her!

A week later Joseph started K4 at Fort Dale Academy. He loves it!! It has been really good for him. I had mixed emotions but we are glad we did it now. He goes all day and absolutely loves Ms. Ellinor. He has made new friends and has grown up really fast on us!

A month following that we moved into the new house! We started building last December and finally moved in the end of September. It was a challenge with a small one and a rowdy 4 year old but we are so loving it! We love having all the room and the kids are doing pretty good upstairs in their rooms. And Joseph is loving the playroom!

I came back to work the second week in November. Needless to say life is quite hectic around our house and there is never a dull moment!! We throughly enjoyed Christmas even though it seems exhausting sometimes. Joseph managed to come down with the flu his first day of Christmas Break but the rest of us have not been sick yet!! So that is good news!!

I will try and do better in the new year but I can't make promises. I just can't get into the whole writing and blogging thing!!!


I wish you all a prosperous New Year!

P.S.  The pics are in reverse order....sorry!

Happy 4th of July!

We made one last beach trip as a family of 3 this summer!!  As my due date is fast approaching I figured this was the last time we needed to get this far away!  We have had a great weekend and hate to see it come to an end tomorrow when we head home.  But lots to do in little time!  We teamed up with the McAbee's for most of the weekend. I so enjoyed getting to hang out with them since we do not see them often.  The kids had so much fun playing, swimming, boating and eating together!  We all had a great time.  It was a very laid back weekend with eating, sleeping late, swimming, boating, but  most of all hanging out with great friends.  Below are a few pics from the past few days!  Hope you enjoy!

Update on the Ealum Fam!!

So what has been going on with us???  Well we are still working on the house that we hope to be in come early August.  I am now 31 weeks pregnant.  We have been to the beach several times.  And Baby boy celebrated his 4th birthday this past Sunday!!  Needless to say things have been quite busy around our house.  Jason and I will celebrate 7 years together on the 28th!  Where times goes I do not know. It seems like it goes faster and faster!  We went to the beach with my family last week and had a great time.  Joseph absolutley loves the beach and boating!  Boy am I glad considering I could be a beach bum in the summer!!  Baby girl( no firm name yet) is scheduled to be here mid August.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will be in the house.  But I am nto sure.  There are still several decisions to be made!!  It seems like summer is flying by and I hate that b/c it is my favorite time of year!  Here are a few pics!  I will try to get some of the birthday boy on here soon!  I just can't find the time to blog anymore!!
