Springfield Trip



Hi everyone. Just thought I would drop a line to catch everyone up. Elise and I got back last weekend from spending two weeks in Springfield with my parents. I thought I might have to have some surgery and needed recovery time but it turns out everything was ok and I did not need the surgery. Instead, we spent the time visiting with everyone, and doing a lot of winter shopping! We had to fill a suitcase and a giant box just to get everything back! Elise changed so much in those 2 weeks we were gone. She started sitting up much better, smiling more and making raspberries. Jay barely recognized her! We had a lot of fun though and are looking forward to spending time with the Tomtens when we go back in January.

On another note, Jay and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. Two of the airmen from the shop came over and I made a turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, and potatoes. It was good but we had tons of leftovers!! Thank goodness I started going to the gym again because I need to work off all that I ate!

Elise has her 4 month checkup on Monday so check back to hear how that went!

Miss you all!

Happy Halloween


Ok so I guess you could say we were scrooges for Halloween because we didn't do anything this year. I figured Elise was too young to dress up and I didn't want to buy Halloween candy because it would be too tempting to eat it, so we just stayed in and hung out this Halloween. I did take Elise to MVMS to the Red Ribbon Week assembly/VB game. She slept through the whole thing. I have no idea how.
Candice and I decided to play with her and put Pam's glasses on her during the game.
There are also some new videos of Elise sucking her fingers and playing with Attila, her best friend. Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween!
