SHARING

ELISE AND ELIZABETH WERE FIGHTING OVER THESE DOLLS THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK. I HAD TO PUT ELISE IN TIME-OUT FOR BEING MEAN AND HATED TO LEAVE HER LIKE THAT. I'M GLAD TO SEE THEY FINALLY WORKED IT OUT (THANKS FOR THE PICTURE ELISA)!

AIRPLANE ANGEL

I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED THAT ELISE WOULD NOT LIKE THE PLANE, BUT SHE WAS SO GOOD ON OUR TRIP! SHE JUST PLAYED ON THE PLANE ON THE WAY THERE AND THEN SHE SLEPT THE ENTIRE FLIGHT COMING HOME!

MUSEUM

WHILE VISITING DAVE, WE WENT TO THE "PLEASE TOUCH ME" MUSEUM IN PHILADELPHIA. I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT THE NAME, BUT IT WAS THE COOLEST PLACE FOR KIDS! IT WAS ALL HANDS ON AND INTERACTIVE.

OUR TRIP TO DELAWARE

MY MOM, ELISE, AND I TOOK A QUICK TRIP TO SEE MY BROTHER DAVE IN DELAWARE. WE HADN'T SEEN THE FAMILY SINCE THEY MOVED THERE IN SEPTEMBER. IT WAS GREAT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

SLEEPY HEAD UNCLE DAVE AND BABY BELLA

SALVADORE AND BELLA- HOW CUTE ARE THEY?!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

THIS WAS THE ONLY PICTURE WE MANAGED TO GET ON NEW YEARS! WE HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT 2008 SO FAR- IT IS ALREADY FLYING BY!

NEWPORT AQUARIUM

WE TOOK ELISE TO THE NEWPORT AQUARIUM. SHE HAD A GREAT TIME RUNNING AROUND AND SEEING ALL OF THE "FISHIES".

DADDY'S GIRL


PEEK A BOO WITH GRANDMA

SHE WORE HERSELF OUT!

CANDY CANE HUNT

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAD A CANDY CANE HUNT IN THE GREEN SPACE LAST MONTH. I THOUGHT ELISE WOULD BE TOO YOUNG TO REALLY ENJOY IT, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES SHE WAS VERY INTO IT!

SHE WAS SO FOCUSED ON GETTING THOSE CANDY CANES.

SCORE!!!

ENJOYING HER HARD WORK!

YUMMY HOT CHOCOLATE:)
