Beach trip!

As promised, I have posted some pictures from Eli's first beach trip! He had a great time and got to spend time with some great friends. Enjoy the pics! (and try not to get too jealous :)).

Wow! Sand!

Look Mom! I found some seashells!

So suave and sophisticated

We had a wonderful trip to the beach last week with some great friends from grad school (well, J.C.'s grad school).

Without further ado, I introduce you to Baby Girl Zannis (name still TBD).

Rest assured, this will be the last time I show off my daughter's "girl parts" on the internet! :)

Everything looked great on the ultrasound. She's healthy and growing well!

And of course, I can't have a blog post without posting some pictures of my other babies as well. We had so much fun in the snow!
