Little Update

Eliana woke up this morning with a fever, but has progressively gotten better throughout the day. I'm praying she will be more like herself when she wakes up from her nap. I ended up having an upset stomach like her and thankfully this morning mom came over for a couple of hours to cuddle with Ellie while I layed down. Neither Ben nor I got much sleep last night. He stayed home most of the day to take care of his girls. He is such a wonderful husband and father. We're so blessed. That's all for now. I'll get some more pictures up soon.

A Rough Sunday

I took Eliana to early church and when we came home after changing clothes she very surprisingly fell asleep on my lap watching little Einsteins. This NEVER happens. So, I took her upstairs and after sleeping for 45 minutes or so she woke up crying. I brought her downstairs and nothing seemed to make her feel better she was sad and crying. Finally, she vomitted twice and didn't stop until about 5:45 tonight. Thankfully Ben was home after church and she went back and forth snuggling between the two of us. At first we thought she just had an upset stomach as she has had a cold for a week and has alot of nasal drainage, which ends up in her stomach. But, since she kept throwing up we knew it was more than just that. Our poor little girl still did not want to eat before going to sleep tonight. We pray she wakes up our healthy and happy little girl again.

We're not going

It's official, we've returned the call to Mexico. Ben announced today in church that we're going to remain in Appleton for now. Of course everyone applauded and was happy to hear we're sticking around.

My Little Shadow

Eliana's grandma got her this Tinkerbell camera. She knew exactly what to do with it when she got it. I wonder how she knew?!?!?! :)

Easter Pictures

Ellie and Maggie

We took Eliana to meet Maggie, Jason and Julie's new puppy. Eliana wasn't too sure at first, but warmed up to her. You can see her patting her thigh, that's sign language for "dog". We have two dogs across the street and Eliana goes crazy when she sees them.

Thanks Jason and Julie.

Not So Lucky.

This is what happened when I tried to take some pictures of my little Irish girl for her St. Pat's cards. Guess I'll have to try again later.

Early Morning

In the morning we have Sesame Street on when we play. She decided to take a break and rest her head while she watched Sesame Street


Oh my!

Pretty little face

Our little model.






Finally able to post pictures!

I have been trying for several days to get pictures up and I've finally been able to. I had Eliana in her first day of diaper study and she had a blast playing on the inflatables at Wild Air. Just like last time, I know by the last couple of days we'll all be sick of it though. At least we get out of the house and she gets to be by other kids. Today all the other kids kept coming up to her and playing with the buttons on her shirt.

Little Pretty

Ellie decide that her pile of books looked like a good place to take a rest.

On Sunday mornings because I'm crunched for time trying to get us both together, I dress her as much as I can (usually everything but her actual dress), let her nap, and then dress her and whisk her off to church. I couldn't resist taking pictures of her little ruffle bottom.

Photo Jewelry

Please tell me what you think. I'm incorporating photo jewelry into my photography business. This is actually available to anyone for purchase, you don't have to have a sitting with me. I'm waiting on a keychain yet (for dads) and the 14K gold 17mm charm similar to the second picture. I would appreciate any input. Also, spread the word cause I can make and ship this stuff out of state too.




Our Pretty

If it can fit in her mouth, it's there.


I just love her little naked body....perfection.


Her fun game is to run away when you tell her to come by you. Lots of giggles.
