Morning Wake-Up

Yesterday morning Eliza woke up and proceeded to yell at Andy and I demanding some bagels. "Wake up Mom! Come and get me out and get me a bagel!". "Wake up Dad! Come and get me out now and get me a bagel!". "I need you to wake up and get me a bagel!!!". It was hilarious.

Beach time with Cam, Audrey, and Adam!

Eliza and I met Sue and Jen at the beach today with Cameron, Audrey, and Adam. It was such a nice day! I'm glad I got to get to the beach one last time before school starts next week. The kids had a blast sitting in a mud pool and running in the water.

Getting So Big

Nothing special to post! Eliza is getting so big though.

More Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking again with Jen and Audrey. This time Eliza decided to throw her blueberries on the ground and squish them in her fingers, rather than put them in the containers like she did last time!

Go away you old goat!

Just a little video clip of Eliza telling us what she says to the wolfman.

Go away you old goat!

Visit to Storyland, NH

We took Eliza to NH for a few days to spend some time with Grampy, Grammy, Auntie Brenda, and Uncle T.J. They had rented a condo for a week so we took advantage of that and got to take Eliza to Storyland and Clark's Trading Post. Eliza loved both! Here are some pictures from Storyland. She was in heaven. It was perfect for her age, she got to run around and check things out and by the end of the day she was exhausted. She had a blast!

She was so amazed by Mother Goose!

Clark's Trading Post, NH

Eliza had a blast at Clark's Trading Post. She loved the bear show, but loved the train ride even more due to the fact that "Wolfman" would chase the train and yell at the passengers. She would start to get scared but saw other kids on the train getting excited, so she knew that it must be ok. She did not like when he fired his fake gun, however. Passengers were supposed to yell "Go away you old goat!" to the wolfman when they saw him and she mastered this during our 3 day get-away and loves saying it to anyone, anytime.

Blueberries for Sal (or, Eliza)

We decided to get out of the house and do something as a family this weekend as I have been mostly house bound for the past week and a half. We went to a local farm to take Eliza blueberry picking. She loved it! Although, she needed many reminders about keeping the blueberries in the bucket. She thought she was so great dragging around the bucket and pitched a fit when we had to give the bucket back. Here are a few pictures.
