Eliza This Week




Marshall's Library Card



Today Marshall got to get his first library card! He had been to the library several times before for storytime. But, this was the first time that he picked out some books to take home. He was so excited! Eric was at a Blazers game tonight, so Marshall and I had some time together. He wanted to use it to read every book we had brought home. He especially liked the two Curious George books and the book about Corduroy the bear!

Eric's Birthday Cake



My last post included pictures of Eric's birthday dinner from Saturday. On Tuesday (his actual birthday) Eric, Marshall and I went out to dinner at the Ram and came home for cake. Marshall and I made the cake that afternoon, and had a great time making it. For some reason, the cake fell apart when we put it together and frosted it though . . . it wasn't nearly as beautiful as the Kondeterei cake that is in the last post. And, we didn't have any normal candles so we used the candle from Marshall's first birthday party. Oh well!! Good memories and alot of fun!

Happy Birthday Eric!!




Happy Birthday Eric! Eric is 29 today!!

The Carousel



(So, I'm on a blogging roll right now . . . our SD card reader was broken so I couldn't post pictures for a few days. Now it's fixed so it's time to get caught up!)

Marshall loves the Carousel at Riverfront Park here in Salem. He has a favorite horse named Bucky who he loves to ride! We spent some time there on Sunday so I thought I'd share a few pictures. He isn't on Bucky in either of them - I guess he needed a change. Picking your horse is a serious part of each ride on the carousel when you're two!

Buddies


Just because I love this picture and Marshall got he and Eliza all posed and then asked me to take a "cute one." Marshall calls pictures "cute ones" because every time I take a picture of the kids I say "Oh, that was a cute one!"

More Eliza Pictures







These pictures are for my friend Melanie who loves all things girl and all things baby! On the day I took these pictures, she reminded me to take pictures of Eliza in all of her cute outfits. Thanks Mel Mel! We love you!
