Finally Spring!

I'm 6 months old and getting so big! I am sitting up on my own, holding my own bottle, and love to play! My new favorite thing is going for runs in my new jogging stroller. I love to people watch and look at all of my new surroundings. Today, my Mommy and Daddy said it was spring so they brought me outside to play! I loved the fresh air and sun! ~Elyse

This is the life!

Colorado 2011

In September I surprised Ben with 2 tickets to Aspen for a 30th birthday present...and we had so a wonderful time in Aspen/Snowmass visiting with Tara and Nick. Ben and Tara really enjoyed skiing all the fresh snow while I was in ski school and Elyse hung out with Uncle Nick! The day we were supposed to leave, we got a huge snow storm which cancelled our flight. Luckily, 22 inches of fresh snow meant a blue bird powder day of skiing!

Elyse had many firsts: first plane ride, first concert, and first celebrity sighting (Bon Jovi)!

We can't wait to come back and visit!
