Elizabeth

I missed the 6 month picture due to Elizabeth being at Disneyland and then LA. Still trying to get a picture from the House of the Mouse. I thought I would put a couple of pictures in my blog from the past week. One evening I needed to get some work done at home. I […]

6 Months Old

Elizabeth is now 6 months old and a community traveler as she has gone to the “Happiest place on Earth.” She gets cuter by the day.

Five Months Old

Elizabeth is now five months old.

Santa

There are some Santa’s that always bring good cheer.

Train and Tree

It is beginning to look like Christmas when the tree is up and the train is out.

Mt Rubidoux – Evening Walk

Knowing that the sun was going down soon, I woke up Elizabeth after she had been napping for over an hour. She was not happy. She even told me that she was not happy. However, I quickly put her in the stroller, and she gave me a smile. I soon whisked her out the front […]

Four Months Old – and just getting cuter

Elizabeth is now four months old and just getting cuter. She has made it past Thanksgiving and soon after Christmas and New Years she will be five months old. It is amazing how big she is getting. Before we know it, she will be crawling around the house.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Got up, fixed a wonderful family breakfast of biscuits, old fashioned sourdough pancakes, bacon (3 lbs.), and sausage. We had milk and orange juice to drink. Of course there was jams and jellies along with the butter, real maple syrup as well as the fake stuff. It […]

Mt. Rubidoux - Hiking into the sunset

This afternoon Elizabeth and I went for a walk. I took her up to get a picture at sunset with the cross on the top. A group called Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which sent the city a letter threatening to sue if the cross is not removed.

We began our walk […]

Three Months Old – (plus a week) – Just plain cute

The three month picture got away from me. I knew last week it was the three month mark for Elizabeth and I thought a picture at Dia de los Muertos may work. By the time we got home, there was not time to take a picture. So here it is a week later and the […]

Dia de Los Muertos

I have to admit that I have never heard of Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead Celebration), or at least never understood what it was all about. As for the setup of the evening, on Thursday evening Janet and I were out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Zacatecas. Our waitress […]

Little monkey skeleton and Halloween

There is nothing cuter than a little monkey skeleton out on Halloween. Elizabeth got to do a little “Trick or Treating” around the neighborhood before she fell asleep. Being carried around and smiling is tough work . . .

Five mile walk and a Stroller

Tonight I wanted to go on a five mile walk. Emily needed to get some homework done. Walking up Mt Rubidoux pushing a stroller can be a good workout. Elizabeth and I set out with a couple of blankets for her and two jackets for me. We also had a water bottle for me and […]

Sunday Sunset

From the house it is a little difficult to see the sun go down. We took a walk towards the river bottom. It is a bit easier than a walk up Mt. Rubidoux to get to the other side of the mountain. We were a little late on catching all of the sunset. However, we […]

Two months old – Cuter than a bug . . .

Elizabeth is officially two months old. More smiles are being found and there is more activity. She is leaving the world of newborn sized clothes as she fills them out now. As for the ladybug blanket she is on, the material came from Grandma Brown and it was beautifully crafted my my Aunt who makes […]
