Ellie's 3 Month Pictures

Okay, so I realize that Eliza is a little over 4 months now, but we just got our pictures from her 3 month sitting and I had to share some of our favorites. Enjoy!

LOL :)

Eliza recently learned how to laugh! We found out that if we blow in her face & laugh w/ her she'll let out a delightful little giggle. She's starting to get such a cute personality!

Are you goin' to Scarborough Faire?

This weekend, I took Renaissance on their end of year trip...back in time. We went to Medieval Times for dinner, then either saw Ironman (Rich loved it) or Made of Honor (I thought it was cute, but had quite a few unneccessary innuendos), and then sang at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival. We had a lot of fun and I got rather sunburned. Here are a few pictures from the weekend, including a front view of me in my costume from back in the fall when I was still pregnant. I sure am proud of my choir and the beautiful music they make together.

Eliza's First Easter (better late than never!)

We realized we never posted Eliza's Easter pics...so here they are!

Cute cousins! Ellie and Addy with matching dresses!

Thanks for the basket, Grandma!

(and for putting my name on it, Auntie Em!)

At the mall with the Easter Bunny!

And for those who didn't see, here is what her birth announcement looked like!

U Can't Touch This

We heard that it's a good idea to let babies see themselves in a mirror...yeah, she's definitely going to need a therapist when she gets older. :)

Eliza's blessing

On March 22 we blessed Eliza at our home. Steph's entire family was able to come to Plano & her dad & brother were able to take part in the blessing. We also invited all of our closest friends & extended family to take part in the blessing so we had a very full house! The whole event was supposed to take place between 3:00 & 5:00 PM so we thought it'd be a good idea to start the blessing at 4:00, but all but 2 of our guests showed up by 3:05! Luckily, everyone mingled & we had enough food to keep everyone busy until 4:00 when all of our guests arrived. The Spirit was strong during the blessing, & we would like to thank everyone who attended for the support they show to us & Ellie.

Sibling rivalry

Some friends & family have wondered how Sadie's done w/ the addition of the new baby to our family so we thought we'd show you! The pics below show about the closest Sadie will get to Eliza. She never barks or show aggression toward her, but she doesn't like to get very close. I guess we'll take indifference over hatred any day! :)
