Harrahs Adoption International Mission

Not much for a title today. Just another wonderful hot summer day. Actually, it rained a little this morning but then the sun came out bright and strong. After Elizabeth’s nap we took a bike ride to the park to play. There was no one there! I figure Elizabeth’s DNA is built for this kind [...]

Mr. Potato Head
Today when I looked over to Elizabeth at the coffee table, this was her Mr. Potato Head. Too funny.

MOA.
For those not from MN… MOA means Mall of America! Actually, I really hate going there. It is a tourist trap and a building full of nightmare kids.

19 months.
Dear Elizabeth,
On Tuesday you turned 19 months old. I can’t even begin to explain what all that means. You have become such a big girl lately. One thing I realize is that I need to vow to try to do this blog every day to document the things you do because you change so fast. [...]
