First and foremost, we were so excited that Rory Gray Weatherall graced us with her presence on February 4th. Elise will be thrilled to have a new friend...just as soon as Rory is big enough to play with. For now, she simply gave her a kiss and held her hand.
This is a bit of a random pic, but Daddy thinks it is hilarious that Elise likes to play with his fake hand from Halloween. Mommy thinks it is weird. :)
Back to Miss Rory: we went to Arkansas to visit her the week after she was born (unfortunately, she was born in the midst of the Arkansas blizzard, when they got 20 inches of snow, so we weren't able to go down the weekend that she WAS born!). Mommy drove, and just had to get this picture of her sleeping beauties!
For Valentine's Day, Elise discovered an extreme love of suckers. She already loved cake, so Mommy was excited to give her a cake-pop for an early Valentine's day present. Elise got to make her first Valentine's Day box (Mommy wasn't smart enough to take a pic of it before Elise demolished it) and got lots of neat Valentines at her party at Lala's house. She got some treats from her Mammy and Popa, her Maw-Maw, Paw-Paw and Grandma Halleran also sent her some cards. Mommy and Daddy got her a new Ariel doll. Not too shabby for a Valentine's day!
This evening, we went to Aunt Lori's. I am not sure if you remember, but a while back, I posted some pics of Elise and Aunt Lori's new kittens. Well, they are all grown up now, but just as easy with Elise as they were before! She's has learned to hold them right-side-up now!
We had gone to Aunt Lori's so that Aunt Sacy could take Elise on her first horse ride. It was interesting. First, she refuse to get on the gentle horse: Big John. She screamed bloody murder when we tried. But she kept insisting that she wanted to ride Cash, who is a bit young and rambunctious for a gal's first foray into horse-riding. Cash did fine when Elise sat still... but when Elise started squealing or when Lacy would try to lead him (with Mommy standing right next to Elise to prevent falls), he wasn't very good. Needless to say, the ride didn't last long and Mommy's nerves were frazzled!
At least I got some great pics of the little horse-rider!
Closing off with this adorable pic of Elise and Link. He's as big of a movie watcher as Elise. I think they'll get along just fine... :)
