Ellie meeting the Texas friends and family

Before arriving in Texas, Ellie hadn't met many of our friends or family members in Texas!  She still needs to meet some very important people, but I decided to post a few pictures of who she's met so far.  It's been a joy to watch our friends and family enjoy Ellie and to see their excitement when they meet her for the first time.

With Rachel and Jeff in Houston!

 

With cousins Abran and James and 2nd cousin Jack.  This was right before Ellie had let out a big, rumbly you-know-what in her diaper.  Abran was cracking up because he heard it and definitely felt it too!  Ellie also her Aunt Marlo and Uncle Alex, a couple of my cousins and her 2nd cousins, and my Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike!  It was a fun night.

With my friend Meredith and her cute kiddos Olivia and Jake.

Ja and Russel!  Ellie not so happy.  This is how we left her with babysitters Mimi and Papeaux :)

Meeting Nick's brother, Ellie's Uncle Michael!

Meeting Cousin Austin.  Ellie also met her Aunt Melissa!

Meeting cousins Will and Keely in Dallas!  She also met Uncle Brand and Aunt Monica.

Nick's Aunt Toni in Tyler.  She also met Uncle Greg and a couple of Nick's cousins!

Poor girl... she looks kind of dazed or upset in all of these pics!  

But she told me later that she was super happy to meet all of these people. :)
