Ella is "8"!!! Happy Birthday, Ella-gator!

We celebrated Ella's 8th birthday, almost non-stop for 3 days last week! Her big day was the 27th, then her friend camp-out slumber party was the 28th, and our Meyer family party was the following day. Cake, cake, and more cake and ice cream!!! We've definitely had our fill this August! It's our big month for birthdays in my family!

Anyway, we're very proud of Ella, as she is growing up into a bright and sweet, caring young girl. She started 3rd grade on Monday, and is enjoying seeing all of her friends from Byron, after missing them when we spent her 2nd grade in India. She has a great teacher, and is glad to see her bus driver, Chuck, again as well! Sacia will join her this week Monday for her first day of Kindergarten!

Look in the October issue of the National Geographic pages 86-87, looks like a photo of your old neighborhood.
