All In A Day's Work

Lizzy's Work Life:
First, I wake up. And I am EXCITED about life! It feels good to be alive! Mama and I read books, go for walks, and play games all morning. But not for too long.

Life is not all fun and games. Mid-afternoon I have to go to work in the caterpillar factory. My job is to grab and shake all the colorful objects I can see. The more noise, the better. Its very tiring but my boss, the caterpillar, has his eyes looking over my shoulder the whole time...sheesh!

Thats not all. I have a second career in the jumping business. My job is to sit in a bouncing contraption, and jump as high as possible while spinning the colorful objects with my hands. Luckily, my boss is off site. I am usually able to sneak in a siesta.

She said Mama!

Elizabeth is constantly screaming Mama! Her first word! OK, ok, so maybe she doesn't just say Mama and says "Mamamamamamamama," and only when she's unhappy and doesn't even realize what she's doing. But STILL...she is pronouncing the syllable mama! She slips in alot of boos, bas, oohs, and ahs too, usually when she's upset. Now, whenever she cries Dave says, "Oh, she's saying mamamama so she must want you to go get her." Nice try Dave.

Goodbye Marstons!

Farewell Steph, Evy, and Dane! It was so fun to spent time with you! Blake was greatly missed, but we will be seeing you soon in NYC! Having Steph and her kids around, it was like the continuation of holiday fun.
Spending time with family. Celebrating Jamie's birthday.
Just having a good time going out. We took the kids roller skating and even little Lizzy got to go out on the rink in her stroller. She loved it!
The bunco game was a good time of course, Aaron and Dave proving to be the big winners!Lizzy got to meet her Aunt Stephanie for the first time along with her two older cousins. Evy and Dane were so gentle and loving with Lizzy it was adorable.
We will definitely miss having Steph and family around. We love you!
