Christmas '08

Elodie's first Christmas proved to be enlightening to her future...she will definately be well-read!!! Thank you to everyone...we are already delving into the classics that have been sent to our baby girl, and LOVE the ones that are touchy-feely! (at least I do!) I have included a bunch of other photos of her for your viewing pleasure, as well. Elodie has started to smile ALOT, and as soon as I can get one on camera, I will get that on here, as well.

Love you all!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Here is the "tummy time" boot camp! hahaha...she is actually getting better and not so frustrated. elodie also has her first friend-Asher.

I had to include one of daddy time!

OK-can you tell I just want to show her off??

We just love this little miracle that is now a huge part of our lives. She has quite the life so far...biking (actually shuttling mom and dad for biking), skiing with Dad (cross country tour), and hiking with mom and dad. So, here are a few more photos...just because! Among these is our first "self-inflicted" picture...can you guess which one??? Elodie is already waving at her fans out there...

more thanksgiving photos...

Sorry about the delay! I forgot some pics that I really meant to get on the last post...I guess that I have been taking so many photos that I dont look back far enough to find the really important ones. Thank you to Gramma Mimi for putting little Elodie asleep when she was upset . (By the way...arent we her favorite since I made her a gramma in the first place? hahahaha) Also, thank you to Steve and Nancy Reger for the thanksgiving bib...Elodie wore it well. Maybe Rachie's little girl can wear it on her first turkey day?

Thankgiving with the family from Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada!

We had a fantastic time eating, drinking, biking, and holding Elodie this last weekend! The weather was great, until Mom, Dad and Gramma had to leave-big storm almost kept them here!!! (remind anyone of any other time in Colorado???)

Aimee, Shane, and Jasper came up from Denver for the fun and Jeanne came from Canada because she heard that it was going to be so much fun! (hahaha-loved having you Jeanne! Thank you for being here.)

I am in the process of "weaning" Elodie off of being held all the time. Just kidding-I cannot keep my hands off her, either! I'll have to wean myself for next week when I go back to work. Ugh!

Here are some photos. Love ya all!
