My We've Been Busy!

Oh Eliza has been busy!  She just keeps growing.  It is exciting to watch but there is also a part of me that wants to slow her down!

Recently we have found our toes!  How fun - our little girl gets a lot of enjoyment out of playing with her little piggies.  As an aside...look at those blonde highlights in her hair.  Sometimes it looks like we have had her in the salon already.


We are also practicing our push ups.  She is a strong little thing and you can tell she is gearing up to crawl in the future.  She can manage to move herself around doing her little inchworm move.  She is working so hard to get her little bum and knees up.



First bites!  Eliza has been very excited about our food (and even more excited about drinking water from a cup) so we thought we would give solids a try.  We had a first bite of pears and the jury is still out on if she enjoyed them.  Ironically I tried some rice cereal today and she downed it - and threw a little fit when she was finished and wanted more.  Seriously who would take rice cereal over pears??






Eliza will have a new view soon.  She is working so hard to sit up on her own.  All she needs is just a little more strength to straighten her back and she will have it.  She loves sitting up - it must be fun to see the world from a new angle.  Funny how in this picture our little girl looks like a redhead.  She seems to multiple different 'do's depending on the lighting.

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Packing for 2010

We have started collecting our Olympic gear in preparation for our trip up to Vancouver this weekend! The last Olympics we attended were the Calgary '88 games (Drew even preformed in the opening ceremonies) and we can't wait to be back on Canadian soil celebrating the big event again. Even though Sam is too young to really appreciate the Olympics, we are excited to show him the sights and get lots of pictures so he can look back and hear some good stories. At this point, our gear is ready and the funny thing is Sam has the most Olympic stuff out of any of us! Our family has worked hard to make sure that Sam gets a little piece of Canada even though he is not living there. We know that if Sam grows up in the USA, no one will need to teach him to enjoy his country, but since Canada is so much a part of us, we want to make sure he learns about that bit of him too! So in a few days we will head North and cheer for the home team. However, maybe we do need to get a little piec...
