Sometimes blessings come in big packages...

We're a mini-van family now!
We traded our Escape in for a used minivan. It will be much more spacious for our cross-country travels.

The girls have really enjoyed spending time with their newest cousin, baby Trystan. The girls have gone on lots of treasure walks. A nice place to walk to is the bridge over the canal where we throw bread to the fish and turtles.
We went to Lion Country Safari last week and had the amazing experience of feeding giraffes. That was the closest we have ever been to giraffes. They are incredibly large animals. I can't even imagine how Noah and his family felt when these huge animals began to come to the ark. Shelbyanne was mesmerized with them, but she would not feed them a cracker. She wanted to pet them but she was too scared to get too close.

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. We are doing great. Rob spent the day cleaning out our van. We all have enjoyed the many opportunities we have had to swim in the pool. Shelbyanne has really enjoyed swimming with her floaties, and is doing a great job. We will be in Florida for another week. Then we will head to Atlanta, and onto Daphne, AL to visit with Nana & Pawpaw.

Many Blessings to you all, Amy

WOW, It has been too long since an update from the Ellis fam. The girls are so much bigger and so beautiful. Congrats on becoming a "mini van fam". I wouldn't trade it for any sports car! I know, call us mommy's "silly". Keep up the updates!
