Isabella Jane

On April 9 in the early hours of the morning, our good friends Dave & Amanda welcomed Isabella (Ella) Jane Agema into their family. She was 9 lb 10.5 oz and 21 inches long...and two weeks early. I was able to go visit her in the hospital when she was one day old and she captured my heart. She is such a sweet little baby with a head of dark hair (just like her big brother I might add).

A week or so later, we were able to go visit the Agemas as a family. Chad and I laughed when we put Sydney and Ella next to each other--although they are only 5 months apart, they change so quickly and Syd looked like a monster next to her. It seems so long ago that our baby girl was that size. It was a fun night hanging out with the Agemas, watching Jackson who has the sweetest tempermant when it comes to his sister (and hopefully will for life) and soaking up a little cuddle time with Ella.

Congratulations Agemas! We know she will bring you so much joy and we are so happy she is healthy and your transition home is going smoothly. Already can't wait to see her again!

Amanda, Ella & me

Chad with our baby girls.

The boys were all over the place and I tried and tried to get a picture of them...to no avail.

Syd could eat her. Seriously.

BFFs.

Jackson takes his role as big brother pretty seriously.

And even fills in for Gavin...so sweet.
Rare moment with thos big blues!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE the pic of Ella and Sydney where they are looking at each other. So cute (as were all the pics)! Thanks again for coming over, it was fun with all the kids playing together. :)
