Check up!




So Eliza had her four year old check up at the beginning of May. She did great and is a very healthy girl. We had to wait a while in the doctor's office, and she was CRACKING me up!!! Apparently the paper dress they had her wear was the most GORGEOUS thing Eliza had ever tried on! She told me to take her picture and also asked me to take a video-- all of the poses and performance are stuff that she came up with from her random little brain! SO funny!

However, four shots later, Eliza said she never wanted to come to the doctor again and showed her battle wounds... She was a trooper!
Enjoy:

New Blog

I meant to say that you can leave a comment with your email address so that I can send you the new blog address. I will not publish any of the comments that have personal emails in them.

I've posted the new link to it on my facebook page now.

Hope you join me elsewhere on the web! :D

Moving to a new blog

I started a new blog. I will be posting more consistently on this new blog because I wanted a blog that I felt more comfortable sharing things on.... if ya know what I mean!

If you'd like the link to it, please email me!

Don't worry if you lurk-- no judgment here. I'll just be flattered that you bother with reading my stuff!

If you're my facebook friend, I'll be posting a link to the new blog on there so you can get it that way.

I'll miss this blog. I started it when Eliza was just a few months old! But I will not miss the infiltration that's occurred on here...

Miriam shares some smiles

Adorable Oma-Miriam time.

Watch out for poor Reuben at the end though...

Blessed to have Miriam Jane in the Family!

Family Picture on Miriam's Blessing Day
This was the best one we got, believe it or not!

We had a quick but very fun time visiting Miriam, Reuben, Katy, and Aaron (about a month ago. I know I'm slow, but the pics are worth sharing still!).
THE GIRLS!

Sisters!


I was trying to make Katy feel better about being so much shorter than me... so I slouched and made my neck do something super weird in this picture. I am SO selfless!

Miriam was really really thrilled to have me come visit. I know the love was there somewhere... deep down. Super deep. 'Cuz when I handed her off to her parents (that's what you do with a crying newborn), below is a picture of how she felt less than a minute later... She loves her dad!
There's pretty Miriam with her other grandmother, Aaron's mother. So cute!
There's Reuben taking advantage of no longer being the center of attention. See there is a benefit to having a younger sibling! It makes cookie theft much more feasible!
I loved getting LOTS of pictures of Miriam.
Observe:
And Eliza...
Eliza had the hook-up! She got her own laptop in the car, and I subjected her to the gore of the Last Unicorn on the car ride up and down. I sold the movie to her by telling her that it was her Uncle Robby's favorite! We turned it off before the end when things got super "scarey."
When I told Robby that she was watching it, he said, "You're letting her watch that?" with this really judgemental tone. Whatever! The movie is deceptively creepy! It starts out all butterflies and unicorns then BAM scary witches, birds with creepy human body parts, and a devil-bull killing all the innocent creatures....
But look! she's still smiling POST-The Last Unicorn exposure! Obviously not too scarred....
And without further ado..... COUSINS!!
The picture above is a really great (not) candid shot, No? Well, let me tell you the secret! It's a little bit tricky/conniving. These two cousins were pretty sick of pictures at this point so I knew they wouldn't volunteer to smile at the camera any time soon (soon as in the rest of the month, maybe year). SO while they were looking the other way I yelled, "Wow! Hey!" really loud and when they turned to look at their crazy Aunt Amy/Mama, I clicked a pic - just like Diego taught me (Nick Jr. anyone?).

Wish we lived closer!
