Baby Doll

My mom just sent Elsie her very own baby doll. I guess she figures she needs some practice before the real baby gets here in February. Elsie seems to enjoy it quite a bit. We ran some errands today and she insisted that her baby had to come with her. She gets very concerned if the baby's blanket falls off as well.

Ring around the Rosie

Elsie's new favorite game. But, being 5 months pregnant, I really don't like falling down over and over again. I think this is an acceptable solution...

Picnic up the canyon

We had a nice little picnic in a park.

Lots of food, a portable grill for hamburgers, and plenty of cookies.

Kyle and Shelina came with us too.
After dinner we went for a little walk by the stream.

And Elsie had to throw rocks in the water.

I don't know why she loves rocks so much...

Recently...

We've been in Oregon for the last little while visiting my folks. Unfortunately, all of the pictures that where taken were left on my mom's computer... Oh well, I'll get the eventually. Here's a few shots from the last few weeks that have been sitting on my camera for a while.
