Pretty Little Girl

We took some pictures Sunday after church in front of the beautiful flowers in the front yard. It made me realize that Ellen isn't a baby anymore. She's turning into a little lady!

The Garber Girls

Uncles, Aunts, and Cousins

Sisters

Here are some pictures for you to do your own comparison between Ellen and Sophia.

Sophie's Easter

Sophie had a pretty laid back fist Easter.

Bubbles, Eggs, and Dress

Ellen was outside enjoying the nice weather. She loves blowing bubbles and she got tons of them for Easter.

Since it was nice outside, we decided to hide some eggs for Ellen to hunt.

When I asked Ellen what kind of dress she wanted for Easter she said, "blue." So, luckily we found this blue dress at Old Navy and it worked out perfectly. She added the necklace herself!

Trying to catch up

Here we are coming home from the hospital Wednesday morning. Ellen loves to hold her baby sister and she's pretty good at it. She is going to be a great big sister.

Daddy and Sophie catching some zzzzz's.

Ellen and Nana decorating a bunny house. Ellen kept eating the candy and they had to improvise on certain areas of the house. I guess the creators of the bunny house didn't take into consideration that some of the candy will be eaten while decorating.

Dad got some great pictures of Ellen and Sophie on the couch. If this isn't love, I don't know what is! They are going to be great friends one of these days.

Sophia Faith Garber

Here she is! Sophia arrived at 1:09 AM Tuesday morning. She weighs 8 lbs. 7oz. and was 21 inches long. Exactly like her big sister was. Here are a few pictures, there will be more later.
