Four Weeks Old...

June 28th, 2007 - It's hard to believe it's been four weeks already. Elsie now weighs 9 lbs 3 oz and 60 cm long (24 inches approx.) In this first picture I think I see my brother in her face or expression.

Our little fashion plate...

Elsie wins the best dressed baby award because everyone has been so generous in spoiling her.

Second generation...

This is the outfit I wore when I was blessed at about 2 weeks old (Aug. 6th, 1972). It's a little weird to think that I have a daughter now that can wear it.

Going for a walk...

We took Elsie on her first walk. We went to the mailbox to mail the application for the Child Tax Credit. She doesn't like the carseat when she's first put in but once she starts moving, she's fine.

First Day at Church....

June 10th, 2007 - Elsie was very well behaved but then again we were only there for about an hour and a half. Next Sunday we will try and stay for the three hours depending on how comfortable mom is at feeding little Elsie away from home.

Hanging out with Daddy...

Elsie's First Bath (at home)....

What a cutie!
