Toys and toes

Elizabeth is getting so big!  On Tuesday she turned 4 months and she is developing quite a personality.  She loves to be talked to and to stand on people's laps.  She hates tummy time, but since she hasn't rolled over yet I keep making her tolerate it for a little bit each day.  She loves to grab her toes and has started to be interested in her toys.  I just got her the much famed Sophie the Giraffe and we will see if it lives up to its hype.  Elizabeth loves to chat to anyone who will listen and it is becoming a possibility that she will teach her brother to talk.  We can't wait to see what she does next!

In the Wilderness

We recently returned from a 3 week camping trip.  While it seemed like a good idea I think in the end it was just too long and too far away.  Next time I think we will go for less time and not travel as far from home.  We did have some great times along the way and saw some beautiful sights.  Here are some of the highlights.  First we traveled up to Fairfield, Texas to look at homes we might want to buy and get to see around the town.  We did find a couple of possibilities that gave us something to think about the rest of our trip.  Our next stop was up to see the Culp Family and camp at the Devil's Tower.  John and Katie have a daughter a little younger than Jason and a son who was born less than a week after Elizabeth.  We had a great time at the park, having dinner and catching up with them, but I was silly and completely forgot to get our camera out of the car.

After driving across Wyoming we met up with the Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Michelle and Uncle Michael at Teton National Park near Yellowstone.  We got in trouble there with the bear police, and I got pretty fired up about it, but Jeff kept a cool head as usual.  Then we spent a day in Glacier National park before traveling up to Canada.  We camped at Banff National Park for a week before starting our 3 day ride home.

Elizabeth's Baptisim



I'm so sorry it has been a month since I last wrote.  I have so much to say just not enough time to say it in.  Well with that in mind I will keep this brief.  Elizabeth turned 3 months old on June 26th and was also baptized the same day. Both sets of grandparents got to be there and Uncle Kevin, Aunt Rachel and Aunt Karen flew out to be in San Antonio with us.  On Saturday we all went downtown to the Alamo and the River Walk.  On Sunday after the Baptism we all headed over to the house and had a great brunch together before the Comers had to head back to Virginia.  I think everyone had a great time!


















Coming soon is a recap of our big camping trip!
