baby giraffe at the zoo

I think Jane Ellen's favorite animal (besides a cat) is a giraffe. She wanted to watch the giraffe all day. We've had some fun play dates with the Porter family and our dear buddy, Gabe.

Christmas day 2009

We enjoyed baking cinnamon buns this morning and celebrating by our tree. We tried the new sled out and Papa had the most fun. Jane Ellen, not so much. Thanks so much for Christmas dinner Carlson household! - and baby Sophia, thanks for sitting so nice for photos in your beautiful dresses. Grandmas must have good taste!

Christmas eve with Oma and Opa and the Carlsons

Lots of great eats and pleasant treats. A grand affair at the Reisch home. The food was amazing - the company great too. Jane Ellen loved watching the boys and fell asleep on the way home. What a surprise.

Thank you Nana and Gramps

Thank you for a great visit. Jane Ellen was looking for you after her nap - and has been a bit edgy since you left. She is likely trying to tell us that she misses you already. We shall skype soon! Jane Ellen enjoyed her many firsts with you .... the m&ms better only be a grampa thing!!

Christmas with Nana and Gramps

Time is just flying by. Nana and Gramps arrived on saturday and today we celebrated christmas! Jane Ellen LOVES her new puppet theater and all the puppets. She loves Christmas pudding too - who would have thought. Nana and Gramps also took Jane Ellen shopping and spent the day playing and dancing. We are having fun and hoping that sunday doesn't come too fast.
