Hoppy Easter

This year, Elizabeth couldn't participate in an Easter hunt or even appreciate her visit from the Easter bunnies (thanks grandparents!), but she did get into the spirit. Many people at church told us how cute she looked and one little boy told us he "loved her eyes." This Easter we are so thankful to have this sweet baby girl!

Vote for Elizabeth

Despite the weather, we made it to DC on Saturday to see some of the sights.

(Elizabeth outside the gates of the White House) If I were president, I would...

Preserve the national monuments...

Lobby for thumb sucking to the Olympic Committee...

And, finally, mandate that tulips become the national flower...

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

Over Easter weekend, we had a fun visit from Lindsay, Alan, Braiden and Alexus. They arrived from Ohio on Friday and we went to the zoo. The weather was perfect. Elizabeth shared her first metro ride with our visitors, too!





Elizabeth did really well being on the go and took a couple of naps along the way. The roar of the animals didn't seem to bother her beauty rest. Thank goodness she likes the action because we like to stay active ourselves.

Hiking to the Falls

We took Elizabeth on her first hike. We went to the tallest falls in Maryland (it's north of Frederick). She had fun and the fresh air was good for all of us!

Visiting with Grandma and Grandpa

The Shoemakers came to town this past weekend for a nice visit. We stayed busy with Elizabeth running here and there and she was wonderful! Elizabeth loves the action and being on the go.

Elizabeth is an Eater!

This past weekend, Elizabeth had some oatmeal for the first time. It was a big hit! In the next week, we're going to start introducing different veggies and fruits and we have no doubt that she'll have no problem with them...she loves to eat. Every time we eat in front of her, she has to stop whatever she's doing to watch. She's also holding her own bottle!
