Girls at HBS

Along with some pics of our final Girls' Night at HBS, I've also included a couple of pics from Karaoke Night and Burdick's. Thanks to the first years for providing a first-class meal! It was so nice to sit around a table with some of your very favorite people and just talk all together one final time. What a perfect event ladies. I will miss constantly being around such bright, talented, fun, and overall incredible women. Love you gals!

Squeals

Elsie has found a great way to exercise her voice. She's discovered she can sound like a seal! Thanks to Angelika (our friend from Germany) and the footage from her visit (more pics to come)--we have a little clip to show you. Take it away Elsie!

Jumparoo

Our friends Patrick, Patricia, & Alex let us borrow their Jumparoo for Elsie to test out. I sat her down in the nest of toys and watched her look at one toy, then look at me...look at another toy... then look at me.

After seeing me smile every time she'd look at me--she'd get excited and jump--watch the lights dance to some jungle tunes--jump some more and...needless to say ladies and gents, her new favorite toy is the Jumparoo.

A Sleuth in the House

Our sweet friends gave Elsie this darling petticoat when she was born and I'm in such denial that she's growing out of it! I'm about ready to go out and by the exact same coat in a larger size I love it so much. Anywho, I wanted to take some pictures of Elsie dressed in the coat and couldn't help but think she looked like some sort of detective! Maybe that's why we've been getting smiles and coos--she's up to something. :)

Five-month Fans

We are such fans of Miss Elsie Jayne! She seriously is so much fun! Five months brings lots of smiles, cooing, and even more raspberries! She lifts her head up like a pro during her tummy-time. Her favorite book is still Seuss' Mr. Brown can Moo, Can You? We've heard her laugh a couple of times--despite the silly faces and obnoxious encouragement for more, we just have to capture those gems of a laugh when she gives them. :) She is so much more aware of her surroundings and always has to give a few last words before she finally falls asleep. Elsie is delightful and we just can't love her enough!

Section J Ski Trip

Stowe was quite pleasant this year with lots of sun--such a contrast to dreary, rainy weather last year! Yeah for good weather! Corey and I took turns chillin' with Elsie in the lodge. It will be fun in a few years when we can all do a run together. :) We'll miss all our friends in Section J 2009!

Meg & Lori come to town

We were delighted to have my cousin Meg accompanied by my sister Lori come to visit us! The decided to fly out here for their Spring Break--it was a little far from spring here in Boston to say the least, but we sure got some incredible pictures of Walden in white! Enjoyed Concord and it's history as well as the Freedom Trail/Historic Boston. Saw a shark or two at the aquarium along with the featured Jellies. :) We ended our tour with the impressive Breakers in RI--and even saw some surfers!! Yes--they were in wet suits--the Atlantic on this coast is cold! Thanks to Meg and Lori for a fun time!
