Eliana Shortcake

We have moved!!! I am spending most of my day packing and hearing Eli fall down! Eli has fallen down the stairs, off a bed, off the couch and has 3, that's right THREE very ugly bruises.

At first it was kinda funny and ridiculous because she was not this accident prone in our condo. But thankfully two friends pointed out yesterday that, HELLO!, she needs time to adapt to the new house!!! Duh! She was very whiny yesterday and thanks to this wise insight, I realize that it's probably her way of saying, "Where are we and where is my house?"

So today I am giving her more playpen time to get used to her new surroundings and of course more hugs and Mami-time! This weekend we visited Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls with Eli's grands.

We had to wake Eli up when we got to the strawberry farm because it was her nap time. But ever the good sport, she was ready for action!


Walking through the Strawberry Patch. When we return for blackberry season I have sworn to put Eli in a white t-shirt that she can get as messy as possible instead of freaking out over her normal clothes. Then she will have a 'blackberry tie-dye' shirt.


Thanks Tia Kena for my Strawberry Shortcake hat!


Strawberry Monster- if it's called 'berry' Eli will eat it!


Strawberry Loot! FYI be careful when you go a pickin' because each box you fill is like $15!


She doesn't understand why we are on the side of the road, but she loves it anyway!


It was very windy! This is the best picture we took on our camera, hopefully Hattie got some better ones where you can actually see Eli's face!


Till next time Grandaddy!

Our week in 12 pictures

Moving is a huge sacrifice for Eliana's curiosity. She must be caged up for the greater good!


As the family historian, the only way to get a picture of myself is to take it with my own arm!


The heavens declare the glory of God...and so does the yummy grass below...


Gorgeousity strikes again! This picture deserves its own blog post, but I haven't the time for that now! Notice the tippy-toes!


Living/Dining


Diggin a trench for the internet! You can ask JW all about that...


My wild night with Kim, Beth Moore and thousands of other women. Yes I left town the week we are moving to drive 300 miles to see 2 precious women! I have to give props to the two men in my life: Thank you JW for letting me go and thank you Jesus for the miracles that took me there!


Moving Truck, we didn't know how much junk we have until now!


Master Bath...not quite finished


There's always time to be naughty!


This morning at our God-Provided Home! How do you say Provider God? Is it Jehovah Jireh??? I forgot. Anyway, He certainly did. Eliana slept pretty well last night and she hasn't really asked me why we are living in a different place. But she is definitely enjoying it!!! Thank you LORD!
