Little Musician!

She has discovered the piano!!! With a little help of course!

5 months!

She loves to grab her feet now. I didn't get one without her feet in the way! Of her first Christmas outfit! Still having so much fun with our bundle of joy!!!

Merry Christmas! 2010

Every year for the past at least ten years Ralph has asked me what I want for Christmas. My reply has always been the same until this year because I finally have what I have wanted the most! A baby! I have a beautiful baby girl that I love very much! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at her and think of the miracle that she is and thank my Heavenly Father for blessing me far beyond I could ever image! I am extremely grateful! She truly is the best gift I could ever get!!! Love her and every minute and memory that we are making!

Look who's eating cereal?

At first she wasn't to sure about it then it was like she couldn't get enough of it!

Who has a big girl? We do! Loving every moment!!!

Christmas Letter 2010

Dear Friends and Family,

Another busy year has passed with many changes coming to our lives. First of all our beautiful daughter Jessica Lauren joined us this year on July 25^th. Christie was lucky to have a quick labor and after just over an hour at Madigan, we now have a wonderful girl who brings so much more joy to our lives.

Second Ralph finally finished school and graduated on December 10^th with a Masters Degree in Anesthesia Nursing and passed his boards exams just prior to graduation. Ralph has also been picked up for Major and we couldn’t be more proud of him and all his hard work and accomplishments. Our next bit of excitement is that we are now moving to Fort Sill, Oklahoma where we will begin our next adventure.

We are just overwhelmed with joy from being parents and learning about how much love we really have. Not a day goes by that we don’t just fall in love again with our little girl or fail to take a picture, or twenty, to help us remember the joys this year has brought. This has truly been a year of many blessings and unforgettable memories and we hope that our next new adventure will bring us many more. If you are ever interested in the most recent pictures please visit our blog at luellens.blogspot.com and if you are coming through Oklahoma, please give us a call so we can enjoy your company.

Wishing you all a joyous Holiday Season and a great 2011!!!

Love, Christie, Ralph and Jessica

Purplicious Day!

I love reading time! And my mom loves coordinating my outfits to story time. Not really but it just happened to work out today. I also love to stretch! This picture is a bit old but mom takes so many pictures and doesn't always have time to post all our fun activities we have together.
