Ordinations and More....

Today was a Wonderful day! Our good friend Pat Barvick was ordained a priest. The Ordination Mass was beautiful! Fr. Barvick then did his First Mass in the evening in Auburn. Afterward, we were able to receive his First Blessing. It is so incredible to watch a man give himself to God. We are truly blessed to have Fr. Barvick as a friend. Congratulations! We love you!

In other news, we are OFFICIAL home owners. Immediately after we closed on the house Friday, we headed up there and tore out all the carpet and wood paneling. It was a pretty rough day and Dave and I were exhausted at the end of it all. It does smell much better now and we've got a great pile started for our bonfire in July. There is a lot more work to be done, but we are excited! Pictures to come soon.....

Swimming and The Zoo

My Wonderful Brother. Love you Aust!

I think her face says it all. 

Sorry Eliza, this is your family and you are stuck with us.

Graduation and More

Austin Graduated on Sunday! It makes me feel really old. Eliza and I spent Wednesday-Sunday home helping Mom get ready. We had a great time! Eliza is up to 19lbs 7oz! What a little chub:) Lovin the hat!

 

Growing....

Things are great here! Eliza just keeps growing and growing. We got her a bouncer(thanks Kelly) and she LOVES it. We tried rice cereal for the first time and it went really well. She really likes it and just laughed the whole time(everything is soo funny to her). Dave was getting Eliza ready for church Sunday and I overheard him saying"We have to get you ready for church." She starts laughing and he says, "Oh, you like church don't you? You are going to fit in perfectly at the convent!" Haha!

In other news, we bought a house on 15 acres near a town called Malmo (about 10 miles northwest of Wahoo). We close at the end of May. It's a fixer upper so Dave is ready to dig right in. The country around it is beautiful and I cannot wait for the peace and quiet(minus the sounds of powertools and sledgehammers). We took Cooper out there the other day, and he was in Heaven. Can't wait to get out of this 1 bedroom apartment!

Sleepy chubby baby

First try with rice cereal. She loved it. She laughed the whole time!

Working on the modeling poses

Tired after a tough workout in the bouncer:)

Our happy, smiley girl

Picture day......

So, we went to get pictures taken yesterday at JC Penny. Every day at home Eliza is constantly smiling and laughing...almost every picture we have of her, she is smiling. Yet, we get there and she REFUSES to smile. In fact she cried most of the time. The second we walk out, she's laughing and smiling. Little turd. My Mom says that she must somehow have some of me in her. Hmmm....she may be right.

I'm Cute and I know it......
