Elsie's 6 month birthday!

Six months ago today, Elsie joined our family. She has grown so much since then. She has learned to roll over, has the biggest smile ever and loves to squeal in this very high pitch. We are in love with her. Here is a picture of her the very first time Mommy saw her at 13 hours old. She had to be on a ventalator because her lungs needed time to get strong, as she was born not breathing causing her lungs to be filled with fluid.

This is her today. Thank the Lord that you would never know that she was such a sick baby at birth.

Hiking in Lytle Creek

Yesterday we went up to Lytle Creek to do some hiking. The kids loved it! It is so nice to be able to live only 10 minutes from the country. Both Seth and Kya ended up walking into the creek and getting a bit wet. Elsie enjoyed hanging out in her Snugglie on daddy and Seth thought is was lots of fun to collect rocks. We bought an annual parking pass and cannot wait to go back soon. Next time we will bring food and have a BBQ picnic.
