Our lives on the East Coast


Not much to report. Elsie has been working on popping out a few more teeth. Her second top left poked though a few days ago, and the second top right is still working its way out. She has also learned how to climb up on our bed. Not such a problem if we could just close a door and she couldn't get to it... But even out here in the East our bed is once again in the living room while Elsie enjoys a bedroom all to herself. Constant vigilance is needed to keep my little dare devil from running head long off the side of the bed.

I miss our car, my daily walks, the easily accessible grocery stores, and having Alan home in the evenings with me. This short little adventure is feeling longer and longer as the days go by.

I've kept myself somewhat busy during the long days at home. Since we can't get to a store without borrowing a car, and it is what we would run out of the most, I've been baking all of our bread. While the process isn't hard, it takes a good amount of time to let the dough rest and rise. I'll show you my mad skills when we get home, Katie.
3 1/2 more weeks...

A couple of posts...

Scroll down... I finally have my camera cord out here (thanks for the package Katie!), so I've been able to get the pictures off my camera.

Elsie's first time at the beach

We were able to take a trip to the beach after church on Sunday. Elsie seemed to enjoy herself, but mostly she just looked at everything with an amazed expression on her face. The sand was a little hard to walk on and she wasn't to thrilled with it, but she loved the water. She went running into it as soon as she saw it and loved to stand in the waves.









Trying out a new hairstyle

She has enough hair to put up into ponytails. I tried this style the other day, and then just the two bottoms ones as well.

But by the end of the day this is what it looks like... Oh well. She's still cute.

Five guys and Rita's

We treated ourselves to Five Guys Burgers and Fries and then Rita's Italian Ice. Mmm... So good...

The Rita's lady gave Elsie a little cone. She wasn't so sure about it at first, but she got into it by the end.
