Five Years, Five Pictures

Elise turns five today.
Five!  I can't believe it.
She's not a baby anymore.  No more crib. No more diapers.  No more packing up diaper bags.  No more spit-up all over me.

I do miss being able to hold a tiny, sleeping, baby, yet I revel in the fact that it is becoming a bit easier to go places.  Gone are the days of packing multiple bags to make sure we had everything for every scenerio possible. 

Elise is such a joy to our family.  She is silly, goofy, sweet, and best of all, she makes us laugh so hard. 

When asked what she wants for birthday she said, "Gum, tape, and dark chocolate."

Here she is at 4 months prepared for surgery at Children's Hospital.  Love those eyes!

I know, I know!  The fourth child to suck on their fingers.  As someone at Grace Church said,"It must be a genetic thing."

This is my all time favorite picture of Elise.

As always, goofing off in Bethany Beach.

A day at the beach in Frisco, NC.

 

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

The Butter Show

Posted by Rachel

Hello everybody.
In the beginning of time, in June 2012, my cousin and I created a video. Usually when we get together we make ridiculous videos of us being ridiculously silly. We decided to put this one on YouTube. The video was made to mimic a certain someone, should I say, a certain chef who is in love with butter.

Check this out.
Enjoy.
We are open to more suggestions for videos.  We will continue going by the screen names Paula and Marg.
