The Many Faces of Elise...

This post is just for fun..we love your expressions Elise!
Ooooh face...kinda skeptical too.

For real, Momma?

Not a flattering face at all...but look how cute the outfit is! Skinny jeans and a flowered shirt :)

I lookin' at you! (In the onesie made by Katie Black!)

Sucking her fist in tummy time.

Is there anything sweeter than the face of a sleeping baby?

What are you doing, Big Brother?

Content with Dadda.

What? Another picture?

So, I bought this jacket while pregnant...she is not amused.

Wow! She is in awe.

Questioning face

This face means, "Really? I can get milk from you too?"

Another picture in a cute outfit?

We took this picture, because Elise was showing off her neck. It is usually hidden beneath the triple ripple!

Content to hold Jeremy's hand and watch the leaves on a tree.

Hmmm...not sure about this face.

We're Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo

How about you you you?

We went up to the Oakland Zoo for the day. It's a great little zoo. Jeremy loved watching all of the animals!

Checking out the tigers 
More animals with Dada.

Two cool guys on a crazy hot day.
By the way--The Oakland Zoo does not have Oakland temperatures. We were way overdressed and sweated all day.

Jeremy watching the elephant playing in the water.

See the elephants with the long trunks swingin'

Jeremy, Elise, and Momma

Yep, she's in there! She slept through the majority of the adventure. When she woke up, we nursed while watching the monkeys play.

Jeremy and Dada in the Children's Zoo--such a nice area!

You know we love goats!

Jeremy, Elise, Momma, and some goats :)

The Cardboard Rocket

I got a new bench to contain the shoes.

So a cardboard rocket was in order! 
Impressive!

Jeremy'y rocket

The inside--complete with controls, a steering wheel, and a Treasure Stars map (a la Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)

Just some random photos :)

Ruffles on the bum and socks that look like shoes--dressing a girl is super fun!

Sweet Elise

Lovin' the snuggles

Jeremy's creation with magna-tiles, or "shapes" as he calls them.

Ooooooh face.

And a little smile. (Wearing an outfit that was Jeremy's)

Hi Ga!

Kitty on the bum for Great Aunt Janet

Jeremy's Big Boy Room


The kids' rooms are the most decorated/finished rooms in the whole house...so here are some pictures from Jeremy's room.

Curtains made by Grie, and quilt from MiMi. 
Just a few of the many, many books that we own. Jeremy doesn't ever tire of reading books.
He has many of our board books memorized, so he "reads" them to Elise.

The airplane on the dresser was Weston's!

Jeremy in his "big boy train bed"

Perfect quote for a Transportation themed room. Thanks Dr. Seuss!


Grie buys a vacation house!



On Grie's last day here in Cali (sniff sniff), she decided to buy a vacation home! Now she can come and stay in the guest house :) 

Jeremy's first look at the house.

Checking out the amenities

Elise slept through the reveal, but she will love it too!

Grie and Jeremy--there's room for everyone!

The family of 4!
Grie, Jeremy, and Elise

Thanks Grie for being here! We are sure going to miss you!

Jeremy loves to hold his sister!

And a little cuteness, just for good measure.
