Swimming lessons

Just in case you were worried that Elise would not get enough attention... we have taken over 200 pictures of Elise in june and just 100 of Alexander. Poor boy, we have to step it up.

Elise took swimming lessons this weeks and LOVES the water. She never misses a chance to hit the pool.

Busy Summer

Summer came early this year, weather and "vacation". Elise's little brother was born five weeks early on May 1st. Elise has loved him from the start. She likes visiting him in the hospital and kissing him. I think she is a little confused as to why not everyone is giving her their full attention, but she is okay with that. She has seen more of the extended family than she has in a long time. Nana took the flight out to help out for a month, ma Taunte Denise and Tony flew out for a week and even Uncle Eric and Auntie Becca made the drive up from the bay area. Of course Elise has been more excited to see Margaret and Joseph than anyone else. I guess it isn't a distance thing as much as ageism.
