All our Adventures...

Hello! I can't believe how bad I've been at blogging since we've been here. Let that speak volumes about how great it's been!

*Bauer-Man is as cute as they come and getting bigger and more interactive by the day! We haven't captured a smile on camera yet but he's got a super cute smile going already. He loves the morning time, between 6-9 am and smiles a ton around then. He's been digressing in the sleep category, he is waking up a couple times between feedings but he takes good naps during the day (at least it's not both right!?) He turned 2 months old a couple days ago and I can honestly say it's been the best 2 months of my life. I love him more than is humanly healthy. He's good to let me kiss him about 200 times a day!

*A week or so ago, Bauer and I left daddy home and went to Black Butte Ranch which is one of my all-time favorite places on the face of the earth. My mom, Jyl and her kids were there and we had a blast. We strapped Bauer's carseat in one of those bike trailors and rode all around the ranch-- so fun!

*Andrew is loving his work with a start-up-ish construction company. He's enjoying learning the various aspects of a small business and hoping their hopes for little company come about in the future.

*Bauer and I enjoy days hanging out with Grammy, Aunties, and Cousins. especially by the pool.

*I'm in the process of changing my Utah Teaching License over to Oregon and I plan on substitute teaching 5 or so days a month for a little extra money. I can't believe how much more Oregon Subs make than Utah Subs! I really am excited to get back in the classroom with the students and am greatful to be by a plethora of very experienced and very cheap babysitters that are willing to help out! (thanks sisters!)

*We're blessing Bauer on Labor Day weekend and we're super excited about all the events surrounding it! We're looking forward to Andrew's Mom and Dad getting here on Tuesday to meet little man.

Ellis Fam Update!

Ok, so it's been a few days since my last post ;) But not because of a lack of good blogging material. We're now in Portland and loving it!!! Well, Andrew spends most of the day looking for a job so I think he has a little more frustration than me, but I LOVE IT! You can find me taking care of my little monkey, visiting with my mom in her craft room, spending time with the sisters and their families, or watching/helping my mom host a party (i think there's been like 5 or 6 just since we've been home--she's just so good at it!!) Bauer Man is doing wonderfully! He likes to eat...a lot. He only goes 2-3 hours during the day, and NO MORE THAN 3 at night. He's a pretty mellow little guy-- he LOVES light. If he's near a window there's no taking his eyes off of it! He's smiled once. And to my mom's delight it was at her. He's sweet as sweet comes and I love him more than anyone can love anything!
