It was cold the day we went to pick out the Christmas Tree. Here is Elsie wearing her first dress and wearing her warm winter bunny coat--a gift from Rebecca and Brian.

Happy Thanksgiving!




Elsie was delighted to meet up with the Howells at Hilton Head and even more excited to meet her cousin Bryce and her frenchie cousins Abby and Tug.

Elsie chillin' out...

Elsie sits up!

Aunt Addie comes to stay!


Early in November, Elsie was thrilled to have Addie come to visit. She found she sleeps best on her great aunt's shoulder. Oscar preferred Addie's lap!

Jimmy comes to town!


When Jim Walker came to town, Tequila E came out--if you look closely at sleeping Elsie, you'll see what I mean. We know Jim will be a fantastic role model for little Elsie, just as he has been a good influence on her dad.
