tired Saturday

Liza is still very cute. Sarah is very tired--tired enough to sleep through a parade. In fact, she's doing that very thing right now.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

How lovely are thy branches!

And they are quite lovely. Jordan found us a great Christmas Tree this year. On Wednesday Jordan took the day off, we borrowed a friend's truck and went up to Cloudcroft to find ourselves a tree. When we arrived, Liza had to eat so Jordan and Heidi went scouting. They found a great tree in about 20 minutes (compared to 1.5 - 2 hours last year)! Liza and I joined them and Jordan cut down our tree. Heidi had a great time running around and sniffing everything. Liza slept the whole time in her sling.

(Liza is in the brown bundle that I'm holding)

We forgot to bring our Mino with us so I took this video with Jordan's camera... unfortunately I forgot that we don't know how to rotate videos... so please turn your head 90 degrees for this one.

Today Liza is 1 month old!! :-) We really can't believe that that much time has gone by already. When we got out of the car to go into church, Jordan said, "Only 215 more months until she leaves us!" We both agreed that that doesn't seem like enough time.

After a good week, including one day of vacation to spend at home, Sarah and I are now enjoying the weekend. We watched Wall·E tonight and really enjoyed it.

Liza is a bit fussy lately, but she's just being a baby. Heidi has been a bit demanding and whiny lately, but at least she no longer goes crazy when Liza sneezes—only when we sneeze.

Apparently Liza is almost 4 weeks old. Yikes! That went quickly.

I took the day off today to stay home with Liza and Sarah. We both did a few errands, but we did get to spend a lot of time together, and then we went to Cloudcroft to cut down a Christmas tree. (Jeff and Sara, you were in our thoughts a lot today.) We were slightly more successful this year in finding a good tree, mostly due to the fact that there was so little snow on the ground.

Pictures to come...
