Ballerina Buddies...

Bella spent the night with us last night. The girls are enrolled in a My Little Dancing Pony summer dance camp this week. Addie asked for her "fun buns" this morning when I went to do her hair, and Bella in turn replied, "Yep, just like Addie." I personally think they are tutu cute!

And it's a...

BOY!!!
That's a little tinky-winky you're lookin' at folks!

We are just coming home from an amazing anniversary celebration. We stayed downtown at the Conrad Hotel and had dinner at St. Elmos. Doug & I decided to eat at the local landmark, because we can't call ourselves bona fide Hoosiers and not have eaten there before. Doug opened the sealed envelope at dinner and we have just been on cloud 9 since.

We slept in this morning and walked to breakfast at Cafe Patachou. From there we headed to Keystone at the Crossing for some shopping and lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.

We have decided on a name, in case you are interested... With all of the Lebron hype this weekend, we were leaning towards Lebron James Reusser, but have opted for Elijah Stone Reusser. Elijah means the Lord is my God, I just love this! We will call him Eli. Stone is for Phyllis's father, Grandpa John.

It's still so hard to wrap my head around this pregnancy and knowing I'm brewing a little champ inside me right now. I feel so blessed to be healthy and to know that in a few short months, we will be welcoming our son into our family. Thank you for your continued prayers.

We spent the 4th of July with the Warners. It was low key, but we very much enjoyed ourselves. We kicked off the afternoon with the parade and headed to the local festival at the high school. We ended the evening with dinner and playing at the Warners. We had a beautiful ride home that night with the sky full of local firework shows... Addie kept pointing and shouting, "Look there! Look there!"
