We're two weeks and KICKIN'!

Yes, that's right.

Elyse is two weeks and two days old.

She is officially awesome as of now ;)
I am able to get things done and continue in some of my daily activities.
I also have a lot of help, as you will see in these photos, from her grandparents (which have been AMAZING!) and her loving daddy.

Enjoy these little clips of her first two weeks of life:


Such a peaceful sleeper:


Loves her daddy:


An afternoon walk:




Fall is quickly coming to an end here... isnt that nuts??





Our little home ;)





Walking with grandparents have been fun as well :

This baby loves to travel:

AND WE SAW MOOSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!




Eli has honed in on them:



We had lots of down time to enjoy our family too


On Elyse's ninth day of life we did some newborn pictures as well
(and played frisbee with Eli of course!)


Here are some spoilers the photographer shared with us:

On the ground that is ;)

  1. These photos are fantastic!! And they make me MISS YOU ALL!!!!! We had such a wonderful time with you! Getting to be there when little Elyse was born is something we will always treasure and never forget :) Spending time hiking, taking walks, EATING (ha!) and exploring Alaska was such a joyful journey. You really can't imagine the beauty until you get there and see it for yourself- no words or photos can really capture it!

    Elyse is such a precious gift from God- HE IS SO GOOD!!! She is just perfect and what an angel she is! We are all very, very BLESSED!!

    Thanks for posting all these pics so we can watch her grow and I thank God for Skype!!! We enjoyed seeing and hearing our little grand baby last night! She is really becoming so much more alert!! Already growing up too quickly for Grammy and G-pa!!!

    Have a wonderful visit with Grandma Didi and post again SOON!!!

    Give Eli a big hug for me :) Hope he still smells good! Ha!
