Christmas 09

Christmas with Grandma Margie!

Last weekend, we enjoyed Christmas in Laverne with my Grandma Margie! Baylee enjoyed time with her cousins and Eli just tried to figure out who all these people were! We are enjoying our Christmas break. Today, we are taking Eli to see Santa! I wonder what he will think of him? I'm also taking Baylee to the dr. because we can't seem to get rid of her pink eye! Eww! We took Eli in yesterday for a weight and height check. He weighs 19lbs. 9oz. and is 29 1/2 inches long! He is almost in the 25% in weight and is in the 75% height......long and lean! He always looks chubby in his pictures because of his cheeks I think! Ha! Ha!

Elf Eli!

Miracles

While playing with Eli near the Christmas tree, the song Silent Night came on. I listened to the words and thought about the baby Jesus that cold night so long ago, so new, and I immediately thought of our baby. I wondered about what he was left in and was it cold and was it day or night. I thought about his birth mother as I often do. Then all of a sudden it occurred to me that Eli must have been conceived in May, at about the same time that God layed Ethiopia on my heart. I immediately started crying as I thought about how miraculous it's all been and how wonderful God is! Thank you God for the blessings of my children and my husband.

My baby boy is 9 months old!

Halloween Pictures!

Annual Hayride for trick or treating! Thanks Larry and Jackie for loaning us your trailer!

Bathtime! Eli so loves his bath!

Fall Pics!

Only Eli in so many of my pics lately, but those that know me well know how many millions of pics I have of my sweet Baylee Bear! I have to work hard taking lots of pics of Eli so he will have at least half of what I have of Baylee! :) ........not to mention we started out 6 months behind!
