We're Happy to Announce an Addition to Our Family!!!!

Her name is Ella, she's 15 months old and she's adorable! And by "our" family, I mean "our" Leach family. She's our newest niece! She's in foster care and will now be in relative care while she waits to be adopted by my brother Dave and his wife Casi! We got to meet Ella while they were in Oregon helping transition her from her foster home to their care. We got to spend time with Anna (7) and Caiden (2 1/2) too. We went to Jantzen Beach mall where Dave and I have fond memories of riding the carousel. We played at a park, swam at the hotel and had a great time. Caiden had a great jet airplane that Max wanted very much so at one point the cousins didn't get to play with ANY airplanes. They did really well playing together though! Anna is a great helper with little Ella. They are a beautiful family. Here's the only down side to the weekend; I was horrible at taking pictures. So, here are a few snapshots of the fun weekend that included great visits with Phil and Geniel (thanks again!) and (Great) Grandma and Grandpa Epperson. Max still talks about the choo choo that Great Grandma found upstairs for him to play with. I think she's pretty much a hero in his eyes! :)
