January sniffles


Happily, we are out of our 3 week-long cold....and amazingly there is a positive result from all that nose-blowing: Eliza Wren can now blow her own nose, and enjoys it!  :)

surprise!


I (Jane) flew out to Chicago this past weekend to surprise my dear friend, Lydia.  Her family was throwing her a baby shower, so when I found a great deal on a round-trip ticket, I jumped at the chance to be there.




Can't wait until they are a wee family of three - so fun!

 Another fun part of the weekend was to be in town to celebrate Lita's birthday - so, I surprised her as well.  Lots of fun snuggles with Eliza Wren were had by several of the Petersons' clan.

I was also able to spend some sweet time with Erik's brother, David, and his lovely bride-to-be, Carmen.  We'll see them next during their wedding festivities this June!

Eliza Wren loved being at Grandpa and Grandma's house - so much space to crawl around in, fun cabinet doors to play with, and a wee chair just her size.

Visit with Mariah


Last week we had a lovely visit with our dear friend, Mariah.
This is one of Jane's best friends from Wheaton - they met 12 years ago!   
What a gift to have her spend the week with us. :)
  Here are some snapshots of a few moments from this special time.

snow day

We've had two home-bound days with all this beautiful snow!  Erik came home early yesterday and I caught this video of him and Eliza Wren having fun. :)
