Lots to catch up on.....

Haven't posted in a while - so sorry to have disappointed you! :) Here are the bullet points of what's been going on in our lives:

1 - Elise rolled over from her belly to her back TWICE! (She's done it more for Peter, but of course, she does EVERYTHING for Peter......)

2 - Peter celebrated a birthday on the 15th!

3 - Peter took me to West Baden Hotel for a 24-hr getaway last weekend. You may think "romantic" - but then consider that MLB Playoffs were on and I had to pump. There you have it. (But seriously, it was a GREAT break from the little one - loved it!)

4 - We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on the 19th

5 - Elise had been reaching for her feet & working on putting a binky in & out of our mouth. These are huge accomplishments! :)

6 - We started E on baby food! Let me first say that we had tried just plain cereal for a couple weeks and she just wouldn't eat it. Then I tasted it - it's disgusting. So I mix cereal with some baby food (carrots, peas, etc) and she has no problem. I can't blame the girl.

Enjoy some cute snapshots of the babe....

She's looking a bit emaciated....

Trip to Wisconsin

Well I'm back from a week away in Wisconsin... did ya miss me? Didn't think so....

I joined my parents, grandparents, two sisters, human niece & canine niece at our family place in Minocqua, Wisconsin last week. It had been a couple years since I'd been up there, and I really did miss the place! What an ordeal PACKING was, though. Sheesh! I felt like I was packing for a year away from home. So much baby paraphernalia. Better safe than sorry, right?

Enjoy some pics of our trip....

Rori & Elise had SEVERAL matching outfits! So fun!

Okay, so these two pics aren't from our trip to Wisconsin, but who cares?!
