We had a happy weekend here in Maine. With Ella's actual bday on Monday, we celebrated the event with a visit from Grandpa and Meme, Charlotte and a party. I think we have trained Ella to become a party girl. Nothing makes that girl happier than to know that our house will be full of people, young and old alike...it doesn't matter. It was nice to see her happy and relaxed with good friends and family.

We reminicsed with Grandpa and Meme about 4 years ago today...They had come up early to help us finish our house before Ella came into the world. What a time...some bickering, some beer and lots of love. I look at this house and see all the spots that have the signature of those who helped us make this "dream" become our home. I love September and I know the love comes from the time we spent working to this day four years ago.
