FOUR

She's four months old!! And she is a big girl!!!1 98th percentile for length and 59th percentile for weight. She was 14lbs today, and I'm trying to remember her length, but I want to say it was 26 inches. Long and lean, just like her Daddy, and her big brother! Every day with Elin is more incredible than the last. I feel so lucky to be her Mama!

Seeing Carson at four months, and noting how drenched his shirt was, I'm remembering what a little drool monster he was at this age!!! Elin is starting to get a little drooly, but nothing like her brother was! At least not yet!!

I need your support!

I am participating in the MS Walk next month, and I need the support of a couple of more people to meet my goal! Every little bit helps! As most of my friends know, this is a very important fundraiser to me. I was diagnosed with MS in 2005, and am determined to do what I can to make sure that I see a cure for this unpredictable disease in my lifetime. I would love nothing more than to make it so that my children, or ANY other person for that matter, never has to endure the trauma of an MS diagnosis. So, if you're able to, please make a donation! Go here to help end MS!

Not sure what my deal with the quotes is lately...but here's another one I love......

"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone;

nevertheless, still your own. Never forget for a

single minute, I was not born from under your

heart, but in it"

So True

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:

Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."

The Compound

Here are some of the "before" pictures Brian has taken of our yard. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are so excited about it! This yard is over grown and not particularly in our taste, but we know we can make it amazing! It is just going to take some sweat, tears, and unfortunately a significant amount of time!
