Thanksgiving Break

On Wednesday Ella took part in two of daddy's favorite activities - cycling and reading Sports Illustrated.

Future Royal

The Hood family got dressed up to cheer the Grace Volleyball team last Friday.
Yes, I am brain washing my daughter to want to play volleyball at GU.

2 months!?!?!

oops, I haven't put any new photos up of Ella in a long time. So here are some recent pics of her enjoying life.

More summer fun

A couple weeks ago we took our bikes over to the Wabash and rode down about 5 miles. Stopped at a picnic area and had dinner. As you can see, Ella enjoyed the ride.

Summer Vacation is almost over (for me)

Had a busy 10 days. Went to Mahoney and enjoyed their breakfast buffet. Ella enjoyed the Pony ride (thanks Grandad). We then traveled to Maranatha Bible Camp, where I spoke for five nights. Ella enjoyed: her newback (thanks Dupa D), her cousins, and daddy's stuff.

4th of July

Sue's cousin and her husband came to visit us this weekend. We went to 2 fireworks displays. We also shot some off out in Blair. While the fireworks didn't really hold Ella's attention, the loud noises did not seem to bother her. When somebody down the street lit off a big fire cracker she said, "daddy?"

A church in Blair did face painting before the fireworks display.

We watched the final July 4th show @ the Blatt. The new South Omaha bridge provided great seats.
