First Birthdays!

Sunday, members of our Childbirth class from last year got together to celebrate our baby's first birthdays! It was really fun to see people again and meet all the babies. We were actually in the hospital with 3 of the babies pictured and one was born within hours of Eliza.

Beautiful sunset right out our front door

Eliza is walking!

Eliza will be 1 in two weeks! It's hard to believe. She started taking steps a few weeks ago and has quite a bit of confidence now. She can cover a good distance!

More Videos!

It has taken forever, but I finally uploaded some videos.
This is from our trip to St. George in July:



More recent, playing with Hazel:

Our New House

We need to do some tree trimming
so you can actually see the house.
But this is it!

Mountain views from the porch.

Wahoo Baby

When Eliza was born, Charles and Avery came to visit in the hospital and brought her a little UVA shirt. At the time, it was hard to imagine it fitting her.

They came to visit last weekend and she sported her shirt. (this was before the game opener....she isn't a fair weather fan though...she will still wear it)

The Move!

We got an offer on our townhouse on July 6 and moved out August 6. It was a crazy month and the drama played out right up to the last minute on the day we closed. We are getting settled in the new place now though. 3 days after we moved in, PopPop was here to start removing the lovely borders in the kitchen and dining room. (I can't wait to post Before and After pics once we are done!) The dining room and living room also have dark green carpet that we will be replacing with hard wood floors to match the rest of the main level. For now, there is nothing in those rooms, so Eliza has her own play room all to herself!
Here are a few pictures from the last 2 weeks.

On her computer...she has a cel phone too.

A last play date with Brinkley.

We never got a SOLD sign, so this will have to do.

PopPop took a break from steaming to play.
