A few more pics and videos (almost walking...)

Happy 2010!!!

We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays :) After a lot of requests/harassment and a few technical difficulties (Andrea's user error), we have finally updated the blog! We didn't realize how many people check for updates until we fell behind in our posts; thanks for keeping up with Ella!

A lot has happened since Ella's birthday. She had her last planned surgery in November and we hope it's the last one, at least for a very long time! She took longer to recover from this surgery and got very sick as a result, but she's doing great now.

Ella got to celebrate Halloween with all of her buddies from playgroup...she was a bee. Unfortunately we weren't able to join the family in Florida for Thanksgiving, but we had a house full of residents over for dinner who were also stuck at work like Aaron for the holiday. However, we did get to go to Michigan for Christmas this year! We celebrated with family in Royal Oak and then Grandpa and Grandma Burnell came to see us in NC right after Christmas...we missed Uncle Tom and Aunt Kelly, but we hope to see them soon.

Here are some recent pictures and we'll have some videos up soon, too.
