All aboard the Elspeth Express

We try to spend some time every Saturday morning doing something fun. This week we painted a train!











Daddy and Elspeth are painting windows on the train.












"I'm ready to be the caboose!"













Engineer Elspeth blows the whistle on her train.

Beautiful Eyes

She thinks she is smiling

It is just better to get candids of Elspeth.

Stiff Baby

It looks like I caught Jeremy just as he swung Addie up in the air, but he had been holding her for about a minute by the time I took this photo. Adwen will even hold this posture when you put her in a chair so that she is supported by her head and feet and her rear is not touching the chair at all. Daycare called Elspeth "Danger Baby" for well-deserved reasons, and they call this one "Stiff Baby" also for well-deserved reasons. She seems to have some mutant gene that allows her to hold her body completely rigid.

Adwen Kate

Adwen Kate is baptized September 30, 2007

Addie is overwhelmed with excitement about her big day!












Adwen is wrapped up in her prayer blanket from Carol Oetzel before the big event, to "help" her along.










The whole family relaxes together after church (even Bodacious is included).

Got an Owie

Elspeth has taken a spill on the playground at school. She doesn't seem to feel her scraped up face, but we do have a family photo scheduled tomorrow to record this for posterity. Naturally.
