Happy Halloween!

Today the Medical College of Wisconsin was swarmed with ghouls, goblins, and Sweet Peas. The Medical Student Spouse Association (way to go Rowans!) put on a great party and the staff at the school got a kick out of all of the kids' costumes. Being only 6 months old, it was obvious that Elizabeth wasn't going to eat any of the trick or treat candy but that didn't stop dad from gathering some study candy! (Catherine was so embarassed each time I kept grabbing candy "for Elizabeth".) Catherine being ever resourceful found a steal of a deal on Elizabeth's Pea in a Pod outfit. She was so cute. Sadly, Mom and Dad were too lame to dress up. Merry Halloween to all!

What I do with my time...

Many people ask me "what do you do all day when your husband is gone studying...?" Well I try to keep myself busy with whatever I can think of! Walking, reading, playing, and spending most of my time with my sweet little girl. I think I might have a little too much time on my hands because I have started sewing again. Yep me of all people has discovered how much fun making things can be! So I started selling bows and onesies here in Milwaukee and it has evolved into a little side business nothing big but it keeps me occupied and having fun. If you want to check it out it is www.dimplebaby.etsy.com. The ski onesie is in honor of the beginning of the 2007-2008 ski season let it snow!

FALL FUN










Happy FAll! So far this fall has been beautiful! We took a stroll along lake Michigan this last weekend and couldn't get enough of the fall leaves. Lucky for us the weather was fantastic as well. So much fun to be had in the fall. Lately we have taken up a liking for Apple Crisp apples from Barthels Fruit Farm. I finally got Jackson to join me for a little apple picking fun.



It can't be fall without a little football action! Elizabeth would like to give a Milwaukee "shout out" to our Utah Utes and her Uncle Morgan for doing so well these last few games, GO UTES!!!

Elizabeth's First Meal of Solids

Here is a clip of a minute or two of Elizabeth's first time eating solids (if you can call rice cereal a solid). Just to let you know, Elizabeth isn't attacking the spoon anymore. Hope you enjoy!

"Apple Holler" with the Gelwix Family

We spent some time this last weekend with the Larry & Amy Gelwix. We had a great time and were so grateful that we got to hang out with them. Saturday morning, we meet at "Apple Holler", a little farm near the Illionois-Wisconsin border where families can pick apples, pumpkins, see farm animals, and experience life on the farm. Besides being ridiculously crowded and housing the "mystery" buffett, it was great to spend some time with the Gelwixs, & Catherine and Elizabeth "out on the farm". Luckily, neither Elizabeth or Lucy took the occasion to role in any green mudd.
I am sure that time will come soon enough.





Amy & Larry- Thank you for hanging out!

Blue Eyes


How can you not love these blue eyes! It's about time we update some pictures of Elizabeth! She is growing so fast and it is way to much fun being with this little girl! She is rolling over, grabbing things, making all kinds of noises and getting stronger each day. I will post more pics later when I get a chance.
