Can It Really Be Five Years???

Five years ago today, our beautiful and amazing Elizabeth was placed in our arms. Where did five years go. Lizzie has changed our lives so much and brought us so much joy!

Halloween 2010

This year Lizzie decided she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.... and I may add, she made a wonderful Dorothy!

It Finally Happened!!!

After weeks of wiggly and pushing, it finally came out!! Lizzie's First Tooth!!! We all tried to pull it out, but it absolutely would not budge. Finally, Aunt Lisa came over today and tried. She couldn't pull it either. So Lizzie says, "let me try". She pull it out herself!!! I think she even surprised herself. Here are some adorable pictures. She looks so happy in the pictures. She absolutely cannot wait for the tooth fairy to come tonight!!!

Maybe Just a Little Too Much Computer!!!

First Day of First Grade!!

Today was a wonderful day! Today was Lizzie' first day of First Grade! We can't believe that our little baby is in First Grade! She has a really nice teacher and there are about 15 children in her room. She got picked today to be the "Line Leader" and was quite proud. Hopefully she continues to love school!!

Today was an absolutely wonderful day! Today was Lizzie' first day of First Grade! She wa

So Much To Update.....

It has been quite a while since there were any updates, so let's get started......

Lizzie was invited to quite a few birthday parties. Her favorite party place by far was Bounce-U. It is once of those places that has many inflatables for the children to play on! She absolutely loved it.

Easter 2010

Easter was great this year! The weather was perfect and Lizzie looked adorable. We had Easter dinner at my parent's house and it was a very nice time!

Really cute picture of Lizzie and her new baby "Lilly"! Lilly is a doll that someone made for me about 25 years ago. Lizzie found her in our cedar closet and promptly took her as her own. She picked the name!

More tomorrow!

Chinese New Year - The Year of the Tiger!

For the past couple of years, we have celebrated Chinese New Year at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant, The Mandarin Court. This year my sister-in-law Stephanie and her husband Fran and my mother-in-law, as well as my sister Lisa, all joined us. My parents were unable to come this year because my mother had just had surgery on her knee. We had a really wonderful time!

Disney World 2010

We just had the best vacation ever at Disney World! Guy, Lizzie, my mother and sister and I all drove down to Disney World on Saturday, January 23. We stayed overnight in Florence, South Carolina and then travelled on to Disney World on Sunday, January 24. We stayed in the Animal Kingdom at Kindani Village. We were very fortunate to have a villa with two bedrooms (one with a California King and the other with two Queen beds). The villa had three full bathrooms, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. It was a great room!

I could probably write a book on everything we did, but the highlights were Cinderella's Royal Table for Breakfast with the Princesses, Bippitty Boppity Boo Boutique amd just about everything else! It was a little cold in the mornings, but warmed up to the mid-high 70s in the afternoon. I would recommend to anyone who goes to Disney World to get the meal plan, because the food was wonderful in every restaurant. We took over 400 photos plus video, my sister took another 200 plus photos -- far too many to post here! In any event, here are some of the highlights! We are already planning to go back in 2012!

Christmas Day 2009!

Lizzie was beyond excited on Christmas morning! We told her she couldn't go downstairs until she brushed her teeth ... here is a short video!

Once we got downstairs, she was so excited! She loved all of her gifts and at one point when she was by herself in the living room, we heard her say, "thank you Santa Claus for all of my presents." She is such a sweet and caring little girl.... she is our Christmas present every year.
