The latest

We have had a pretty good couple of weeks, other than a cold
that has passed around to us all this week. Seth is doing great,
and Ellie is getting more and more 2. Hurray for tantrums. Good
thing she is so much fun the rest of the time.

She's really a sweet girl, despite the craziness.

This picture was a little blurry, but I thought it was funny.
Seth kind of looks like a lizard in it.

Ellie has gotten pretty rough with the pups... which she finds
hilarious. Luckily, they are very patient with her. But every now
and then she pets them or hugs them like this to remind them
of her love.

Notice a theme? Yep, our crazy, roughneck girl wears dresses
ONLY!
Try what you will, she is not satisfied until she has a "prih-ee"
on her (that's Ellie talk for pretty). So other than pajamas at
night, she has been wearing dresses every day for at least a
month or more straight.

Our cute little man.... he is such a sweet little cuddler.

Hard to believe he is already a month old. He eats
all the time, so he's filling in that skinny body quickly.
They were impressed with his rapid weight gain back
at his 3 week check up.

Grandpa likes to captivate babies with his loud, deep voice.
It always works for Seth.

Ellie loves to sing and dance. This is "If you're
happy and you know it"... her face will surely show it.
She's so funny.

She makes up weird ways to tell me what she wants. This sign
apparently is her interpretation of Buzz Lightyear. She loves
Toy Story, and Buzz is her favorite, so this is how she asks for
the movie... by putting her arms out like his.

She also just adopted a box of my old Barbies that
that Grandma still had around. I guess they were
going night-night here.

Seth Rocco Roggia was given his name and blessing at church
today by his father. It was a wonderful blessing, and he was
perfectly quiet and sweet throughout the whole thing. We are
very blessed to have such a wonderful little spirit here with us.

The outfit was a little big, and I couldn't catch him awake...
(he spent a few hours screaming yesterday evening from a
sore throat, so today was recovery day).

He has a super cute smile that he shows us every day now.
This is the closest I've gotten to getting it on camera thus far.

He also works out his neck muscles a lot. he's a strong little
guy and holds his head up very well. Such a cutie.
