Turning One!

Wow! She's one year old! What a year we've had. As I look back to my posts from Sept. 2008, I am so grateful for this last year busy with happy milestones. Growing, off oxygen, growing, sitting up, baby fat rolls, crawling, fewer baby fat rolls. What a happy little person our Elizabeth is. She's become quite an explorer in her eight weeks of crawling.

Getting tickles from Dad in the hammock.

The cupcake shot. I've never had a baby who puts things in her mouth like Lizzie! She switched from dead bugs and leaves to a cupcake with ease.

Low tech.

No birthday of child #4 is complete without the older siblings helping figure out every nuance and noise of the new birthday toys.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Back to School

So we made it to the first day of school after a great summer including warm weather, travels, dance, piano, swimming, and lots of down time. They learned to appreciate the value of a Slurpee on a warm day. Nothing is more fun than finding out who your new teacher is going to be and collecting all those brand new school supplies off the list.

5th grade and 3rd grade, here we come. Now I'm not sure if they're running toward school or away from home...
