Adjusting well to being a family of 4!

 All dressed up for her 2 week pic!

 Ellie is such a cuddle bug and we have noticed that she is really starting to respond to others. She will gaze into your eyes when you are talking with her and so now it's confirmed that indeed, her eyes are blue.

 I was able to get away a few hours last week for a bachelorette party. When I got home Ben was a champ holding Elle while watching a happy 2 year-old mow the lawn with red popsicle dripping down to his diaper. He put my party beads on too and then we knew we had to take a pic...this will be a good pic to have for later in life! :)

 The Beagle's came in for a visit over the weekend too! Luke had so much fun playing with Addison and showing off his new bedroom to her.

 Here are some of my girls the morning of Jen's wedding. Ben and I were able to go for a few hours too while Grandpa and Grandma Cooley watched the kiddos. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was that once we parked in a field nearby, golf carts would come drive you to the ceremony! SO FUN!

 One of my very closest and dearest friends...3 kids later.

 Ben has started a new tradition with Lukey since Ellie arrived. He wakes Luke up early in the morning and surprises him with a special treat at our downtown donut shop! They have gone twice and both times Luke has had a chocolate donut with sprinkles and a chocolate milk. Right now our downtown is under construction so Luke loves to sit at the window and watch all of the big trucks, "diggers", and "mixers".

 Over the weekend my parents also had some of our relatives visit from Traverse City! After the wedding we were all able to catch up and visit. Lukey became best friends with our 2nd cousin James while we were gone. At one point he asked my Mom, " When is Courtney coming home? I'm tired!" Yep! That's our life! :)

 The Moore family also came over for a visit! We had pizza, went to the park, and we met Renee, their new foreign exchange student from Germany.

 We had a great week seeing many people we love!
