Apple Picking…sort of

I've been wanting to go apple picking for months…and the season finally got here!  But, I couldn't find anyone to go with me…so I kept waiting and waiting, until I finally decided to just go alone with Elisabeth!  Well, on our way out the door, her Grammy called (Dan's Mom), and wanted to know if we needed any help, so we swung by to pick her up.  On our way there, Carra called and asked if we would take cousin Julia along.  So, in the end we didn't go by ourselves!!  However, when we arrived at the first orchard, they informed us that picking was over.  The second orchard said that there were only a few red delicious drops left, and we could take a look if we wanted to.  So, we dragged (litterally) the kids out to the orchard and picked apples…that is, picked them up off the ground! :-)  Oh well!!  Maybe next year I won't wait as long!!

Ready to go picking!!

4 Generations of First Borns

My Grandmother, on my mother's side, was an only child.  My mother was the oldest of four.  I was the oldest of three.  Elisabeth is our firstborn.  That makes 4 generations of firstborn daughters!  We were all able to get a picture together at a recent Ladies Bible Study held at MBBC.

Mommy, Nana, GG, and Elisabeth 

We added Elisabeth's look-alike, Auntie Dani for this picture!

Photo Update

We are so thankful to have Auntie Jo back!! :-)  She takes such beautiful pictures!!  Here are a few of her latest work…

The rest of these pictures were taken by me, before Jordan came home.

Pretty in Pink!

Getting into the trash…which is now kept ON TOP of the desk!

Ukata

Auntie Jo finally came home from Japan…and she brought home a tiny Ukata (traditional Japanese dress) for Elisabeth!!  We tried it on her and had a little photo shoot.  She was a real ham the whole time Auntie Jo was snapping pictures!
