Eliza's Turn

This mobile really gets going fast. It is so fun to watch. She definitely like this one the best! This was Margaret's turn.

Fun Maggie

 She is small but she has a big personality. She is learning to read and count. She has cute little mannerisms and a voice that is sweet as can be. She has been sick lately and took 3 naps today! Poor girl. The second photo is a throw back to this post.

Eliza's Blessing

 It was wonderful to have so much family at Eliza's sweet blessing. Thanks to all. We love all our family. Yes Shannon, you are family. We are grateful for the priesthood and we have a chance to use it in our lives. There is nothing like seeing a bunch of men blessing a tiny baby. Eliza was fussy before and after but not during. It was a tender mercy. We had chicken salad sandwiches for lunch per the suggestion of Ben and lots of other good food. It was a nice busy day. We love Eliza so much.

Kicking Balloons

 I saw this cute little activity on Pintrest. You tie balloons to babies feet so when they move they can see the balloons move. I thought it sounded like something Eliza could try. I think she like it a little, but was mostly over-stimulated. Maybe we will try it again in another month? Here and here are some other balloon photos.

Snowy Morning

 I always miss Clara when she goes to school. She is a good student and she lives her life with a smile on her face.

I like it when the children are concentrating so hard that they don't know I am taking their picture.
