About Us

The title for our blog came from the saying "thinking outside the box", which means to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. "Enjoy your choices and enjoy what you do. Never let a day go by without being thankful for the fact that you get to be here in the first place." Hopefully this blog will help family and friends to stay a little closer to us even though were thousands of miles apart; as well as to share in our trials, daily life adventures and traveling experiences.

17 Days of Counting

What were you doing last year on this date? If you are a relative or close friend, you were probably as eagerly pacing back and forth as Doug and I were waiting for news about the arrival of a baby! September 23, 2010 was originally our due date! We didn't know at the time that we would be counting and counting the days until we reached the number 17, before "PUMPKIN" arrived!





Today we start a 17 day countdown to Ella's FIRST birthday!! Those 17 days won't be nearly as long this year!!

Who could forget that anxious, nerve-wracking countdown?!! But it finished with the most precious of all gifts - our dear pumpkin Ella.
Love ya bunches, Mom

I definitely was on "baby watch" at this time last year :) Let the countdown begin until Ella's big day. We're excited to see you while you're home!
