Our Breakfast Banquet

Saturday morning we had an open house breakfast.  It was wonderful!  I'm sure we'll be having many more! 

Helpers came early for hands-on training.

Helping takes many forms!

Here is the master chef:  multi-tasking!

The eggs-in-a-nest were a definite favorite.

We are blessed with lots of friends.

Nate cooked bacon, on these girls' special request!  (Varying levels of refined taste!)

More friends!

More helping?  :-)

Brothers in Law & Gospel

This picture makes me think ahead to when Eloise is a bit older.  I'm thankful we have so many friends to help us in raising her in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

More friends!

Aunt Naomi - the 'dotingest' aunt ever!

Guess who stayed to clean up?  It was another party for George, Jordan, and Jim.



One of my favorite parts of Saturday is watching Nathaniel with Eloise.  There is nothing like it.
We are so blessed. 



You are cordially invited...

This Saturday, December 11th 2010, we are hosting a breakfast in our new home! 

It will be an open house breakfast, beginning at 9:30am and continuing throughout the morning.

Part two:  Since I haven't posted in a week (and a lot of people are informing me of this gross neglect) I will add an update here.  Last week Eloise had checkups in Tacoma on Monday and Wednesday, followed by her eight week checkup in Olympia on Friday.  She did very well at all her appointments.  At her eight week checkup, Eloise Joy weighed an incredible six pounds, eleven ounces!  This means she's gaining about a half pound each week!  She also received her two month shots!  Ouch!

Part three:  We are always looking for new recipes to try.  If you have one you think we might like, please share it with us.  If you have eaten something exceptional at a restaurant, please tell us about it.    We want your ideas for breakfasts, appetizers, main courses, beach food, etc!
