2 months!

Our Eliza Wren is 2 months old today! :)  

She is growing like a weed and is full of smiles, wee chuckles and coos these days.  

We are all eating her up!

Meredith loves to have an early morning snuggle with Eliza when she first wakes up.

We're curious - who do you think she looks like?

snow :)

We had beautiful, sparkly snow over the weekend!

Meredith and Daddy had a romp in the snow one morning 

and managed to feed the birds before they got too cold.

Granna's visit

Jane's Mom was here for a visit with us last week.  We had a wonderful time together and of course lots of snuggle times with these wee girlies.

 Meredith is laughing at a stuffed animal Granna is talking....imaginative play is so fun with Mer!

Over the weekend, Jonny and Bria and their girls visited with us too.

On Sunday, January 20th we had Eliza Wren baptized.  

It was a blessing to have some of our family there for the service. :)

Our little half pint is 7 weeks old.  She's a little charmer. :)

  Already best friends. :)

Swing Dancing with Meredith

Meredith and I have been perfecting a swing dance routine that we put to music this weekend while our good friend Heather Jacobson was in town visiting.  Boy, what a time we had!  MJ really has some good moves!

weekending

We had a full and very fun weekend - here are some moments captured on film. 

We had a dear friend visiting us from Seattle this weekend.  

We had a blast catching up (the last time we were together was when Meredith was 2 months old!) 

And, we showed her our favorite spots in Mt. Airy. :)

six weeks!

 our little sweetie is growing up!  she's been charming us with her smiles and coos lately :)

love these sweet moments

Reading with Leah

Meredith shares her love of reading with Leah, a good friend who lives close by.  

What naturally follows a good reading session...snuggling in bed with stuffed animals.

Kisses on the Nose

Love this sisterly love!

makes me think back to this day... :)

Responsibility and Mischief

Over Christmas break, Daddy made a chore chart for Meredith.  He made it very kid-friendly and super exciting with photos of each chore and boxes for stickers.  Woohoo!  

Mer thinks it's awesome, and we do too! :)

In the midst of maturity and taking on some household responsibilities... ;)

Meredith is still very mischievous.  

Twice she's been able to swipe Mama's camera, turn it on and take these shots...(!!)

wee one

Our sweet Eliza Wren is now 5 weeks old!  Where has the time gone?  She is growing by leaps and bounds - finding her voice more often these days (ahem) and becoming stronger.  

Best of all, we are catching smiles and are given an attentive concentration when we talk to her.   

Ah...these blessed days!
