Ellis was able to experience his first airplane flight, and although his parents undertook the trip with much fear and trembling, he was fine during both segments of flights. We even got a compliment from a flight attendant, who was completely unaware that we had a newborn with us. Yeah for Ellis! We're keeping him!

Due to the fact that we could not spend the holidays with Heather's family in the Pacific Northwest, we decided to fly up in January and see much of the family. Here are some of the visuals from our trip, including photos of many in Heather's family. We were also fortunate enough to bump into our former Bay Area Friends Howie and Beth Smith and their twin boys...Enjoy! Gp + hp + ep
















Ellis just celebrated his 3rd month of life...Here are some of the photos taken during this time and a much needed shot of Ellis with his dad. Enjoy...

Here are some new photos of our amazing son Ellis Anthony...To update, he is still working on his dance moves (see earlier post), and we could have sworn that he said the word "hi" yesterday a couple of times. Now that he has mastered English, we will be starting his language training in German sometime next week...He went to the doctor today, and we were grateful to hear that our prayers were answered as the doctor could not find any trace of his earlier heart arrhythmia. We also found out today that is now over 16 lbs and 25 inches tall! Hard to believe that not that long ago he was half that weight and nearly 6 inches shorter. The local NFL football teams are already calling inquiring about his availability in 20 + years...Now if he could only grow some more hair! Enjoy the photos! Thanks for checking in...george, heather and ellis.



Christmas 2007 came and went, but not surprisingly without photos being taken. Below are shots of our newest son with his parents, with his mom, with Santa (his first visit!) abuela (grandma), and a shot of some of the primos (cousins). Enjoy...hope everyone's holidays were as festive and memorable...george and heather and ellis
