IS IT DECEMBER ALREADY??

 
Wow how time flies when you are having fun!!  We have done a VERY bad job of updating all of you on our little lady.  Well our New Year resolution is to keep it updated....

Here is a snap shot of our past few months....





Happy Turkey Day!!  
Look at a turkey bow that Aunt Ashley made.


Happy Girl:)


 We moved out of Rockford and into Mitch's parents house in Atwood.  Mitch is almost done with school! He has 16 weeks of work in a family practice office in Monticello starting in January (after we go to Denver!!).  

Elsie has travled all over the midwest in the last few months.  She did a wonderful job at all of the interviews!  She made a great impression at each place we visited.  Elsie has been sleeping in this rocker but she is getting too big.  And it is time to start sleeping in her own crib!  





Elsie had her 4 month check up at the beginning of December and she is HEALTHY and GROWING like a weed!  She weighs 16.5 pounds and is 24 inches long (2 feet long).  She got 3 shots OUCH.  And we started cereal at night....yummy. 



Elsie is getting ready for her first Christmas.  She loves looking at Mimi and Ma's Christmas trees!  




Elsie loves her cousins!!


First family pictures with all of us.


Brr...it was cold but Elsie did a GREAT job!

Maggie's Farm Meets Outdoor Elsie

We had visitors from Colorado on Labor Day.  Aunt Sarah, Uncle Brady and Maggie ventured out to meet Elsie.  We camped, had a fire and caught up with each other.....And there were pictures too.  Elsie is also 1 month old, yeah!

Illini Day!!!

Mimi and Grandpa Dale came to visit and Mimi decided that Elsie needed to show her school pride.













Mommy With The Camera

This is what happens when Mommy is left alone with Case for an afternoon and the camera has a full battery.  Elsie is a trooper and I think she enjoys having her picture taken.
