What's On The Menu?

Elizabeth recently discovered the joys of eating solid food. She likes almost everything we've tried so far. . .:


. . .though we did strike out with pureed peas:

Vogue!

Copycats. . .

The babies are arriving in droves! Holly's friends Angela, Elizabeth, and Jennae have recently welcomed their new babies into the world. And Holly was so sure that she'd the lone Mommy for at least a year among her friends. . .Of course, she was also sure that Elizabeth wouldn't have any cousins near her age--but in a few weeks Jared's older brother will be welcoming the arrival of baby #3. She'll be the first of 3 new cousins that Elizabeth gets this year: we have two more baby girls due to arrive in the family in August and October!

Congrats to the new parents and parents-to be! We'll forgive you for being "copycats" if you promise to send pictures of your new arrivals. :)

Fun in the Exersaucer

Elizabeth loves to sit in here and push toys over the side. She just recently discovered the mirror built into the tray and spent several minutes gazing at the captivating image she found reflected therein--she had never seen anything quite so lovely!

June Update

Elizabeth turned 6 months old this month! It's hard to believe that she's already half a year old. She spends her days being carried around by Mom or Grandma, breaking occasionally to play in her bouncy seat or take a short nap.

Jared is eagerly awaiting the arrival of an engine for his Toyota Land Cruiser; in the meantime he continues to work on renovating our house. We're almost finished with the second bedroom downstairs--we're planning to make it a guest room/craft room/play room.

Holly is finishing up the school year with her kindergarteners. She is looking forward to being a stay-at-home-mom for awhile--though she's quickly learning that it is MUCH harder than any other job she's had. In her spare time (read: after Elizabeth is in bed) she is attempting to catch up on scrapbooking. She's only a year behind on Elizabeth's scrapbook so far (but keep in mind Elizabeth is 6 months old!)

The premier edition

Welcome, friends and family, to our blog. All Elizabeth, all the time. (Well, with a little Jared and Holly thrown in for good measure.)
