And down it goes....

  Well in the latest news, about 90% of our house is now gone. After a week of work on it, Dave decided it would be easier to just tear most of it down and start from scratch. A guy came in and demolished it. Here are a few videos Dave took. They are pretty crazy!

  We got Eliza's pictures taken on Tuesday. She did pretty good this time. A friend recommended Creative Eyes Studio. I was very happy with them and would recommend them to anyone! You can check them out here.

    We've had a pretty busy last few weeks! 3 weekends ago, we went up to Atchison,KS to visit Karissa and Joe. We had a great time and I found lots of great bargains at the thrift store! 

    Dave has been spending a lot of time working on the house. This weekend he(with the help of his two WONDERFUL brothers) got a lot done. But, it seems that with every project comes something unexpected. ie..having to tear out our only full bath. Oh the joys of fixing up an old house! 

    Eliza has had MANY firsts these past couple weeks. She rolled over for the first time last week. She's only done it one more time since then. We're working on it. I'm pretty sure she is cutting her first tooth because she has been very crabby and chewing/drooling on EVERYTHING! After several purchases of teething toys(none of which she would have anything to do with..of course) we were finally successful with a soft grape teether that vibrates when you bite down on it.She cannot get enough of it and I can't wait for that tooth to finally pop through! Last night, she tried real food for the first time. Dave suggested she try the green beans. She was less than thrilled. I think tomorrow we will go with something a little more appetizing!

I finally made a YouTube account so I could post some videos of Eliza. The first one I had been wanting to post for awhile. It's just a cute one of Eliza laughing. The other, we took last night. This is the latest thing she has been doing. Instead of talking, she yells. Its especially cute because she has a bit of a raspy voice. Anyway, enjoy!

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.....

                   Our happy little chunkster. Boy does she LOVE the camera:)

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.
