Going to the Chapel...

We have had a pretty busy last couple of weeks.  First off, we wanted to say congratulations to Elizabeth and Wesley.  It was a beautiful wedding and everyone had a great time!


We headed up to Amarillo last week for the big day.  It was a crazy couple of days as Jennie helped get everything perfect for the big day.  While there were some close calls, everything went off without a hitch on the big day.  Here are some pictures from the reception and the wedding.

Daddy and Elliot partying the night away.  She still has some lessons to learn about being more lady-like!

The Ryan Jackson photography team.  We will post some of their pictures when they are ready.

Elliot is getting so big and finally growing out of her fussy phase.  All the hard work that we have put in over the last four plus months is starting to pay off!  She is a lot of fun and she is a very happy baby.  She is 13 lbs and 24 inches long.  She has started eating cereal every night before bed.  At first it was very messy (see below), but now she has this "eating with a spoon" thing down.  Everyday it seems like she is doing something new.  She is even starting to put herself to sleep at night.  So thanks for the prayers and support!  Here are some pictures from before we left town.  We decided to give Elliot an early Christmas present.  She still is a little small for it, but she is starting to get the hang of it.


I'm a big girl!  Daddy get out of the way!  I'm trying to watch the game...
I'm so pretty!
Here is Elliot trying to sit in her Bumbo chair.  Again, watching TV.
Here is her first cereal experience.  She is a lot better at it now!

We have the SAME bouncy disk!! Malachi loves it, but he'll love it even more when his feet actually touch the ground and he can actually BOUNCE!! Thanks for the call last night, it really helped!! We love you guys and we sure do miss you! Think the Rangers would consider moving to Amarillo? Nah, I didn't think so, but it was worth a shot!
