May 27 - Michael and Jen

Michael and Jen Kelly are Erynn's oldest married cousins. They love to come and visit Erynn and play with her. Erynn loves to listen to Michael and his brothers sing. She loves to play with Jen, whatever and whenever Jen wants to play with her. Erynn is often in her exersaucer during big family dinners at our house. As you know, Erynn is "pop-a-matic" and loves to make lots of noise and yell. Whenever Michael is sitting next to Erynn during dinner, his favorite thing to do is to say "Timeout!" and then he turns her around in the exersaucer so that she's facing away from everyone. She pauses for a second and then slowly starts to turn back around and continues playing as if nothing had happened. It's very funny and she loves the attention from Michael. She usually flashes her cute little smile at him. Jen is a photographer and does children's portraiture in natural settings. For Erynn's one year birthday, Jen had several photoshoots with our new little family. Some of the outstanding results are posted on their blog at http://whenwilltheyeverhavekids.blogspot.com/. The entry is entitled "Erynn Ann-One Year Old." I hope you enjoy the pictures. Leslie. P.S. For those living in the Seattle area wishing they had great pictures of family and children, Jen's website is www.theperfectpic.com.

May 1 - New Playground at Waverly Beach

yes, i know i only wrote one post in april. do you know my gg and my mommy ? they have been working on my family history together. so, how was i supposed to blog with them on the computer ALL THE TIME. (i love you gg and mommy, but baby needs to blog.) april was very busy at my house, gg came to visit and i got very tired. sooooooo many flashity-flashity's. i can hardly see straight any more. the good news is that i have lots of pictures to choose from for blogging. last summer, they closed our beach. that was okay because we were in the hospital anyway. but now, it's open again and it is wonderful.
they have a baby swing.
they have a spiral slide.
and i have a mommy and a daddy.

blog you soon, e
