Elenore’s new bible

Today we spent the last half of the day in a Christan book store. I really wanted to get a bible for her that we could read to her every night and had big, beautiful pictures in it. When we finally found the right aisle, and the right section, (there was a ridiculous amount of “Children’s” bibles and sections) we found 2 that had exactly what we wanted. Matt and I couldn’t decide on which one to pick so we resorted to the fail proof option: Ask Elenore. We placed both bibles in front of her and waited to see which one she selected. How did she select her bible? By biting it. Haha We got a kick out of that. The plan is to read one bible story to Elenore every night before bed. I’m super excited to do this.

 

 

Love you all,

Giggle filled days

Yesterday was full of laughter for us. The morning started out with Matt lounging on the couch during his lunch time and having his feet up. I was sitting next to him reading a book when suddenly Matt says “Elenore stop head butting my boot! I looked down and started laughing. She was not heading butt his boot like he thought. She was actually licking and biting his boots. Matt really didn’t like that his precious angel would do such a disgusting thing. HAHA

Then the day progressed with Elenore almost giving me a heart attack. I turned around for a second and in that second I wasn’t looking Elenore discovered how to climb up onto a container in the living room. She thought it was a great idea, me; not to much.

And finally, she concluded the day of laughter with wandering into the back room and hanging out there for a few minutes. I followed her in there since she was quiet for way to long. What I found was her standing in her little power stance with a very serious look on her face. I watched her for a good minute before I figured out (more like smelled) what she was doing. She had claimed the back room as her bathroom. (I’m thinking potty training might be in our near future)

Here is Matthew’s most recent proud Daddy moment:
We spent an hour or so at a Power sports store. While wandering through the store Elenore found a little green dirt bike. She instantly loved it. Started giggling and playing on it. This of course, made Matt VERY happy. His little girl is turning into a tom boy. This doesn’t surprise me in the least. I mean, come on. I’m her mother and she is surrounded by motorcycle riding, dirt bike riding, gun shooting, military men on a daily basis, and only has Uncles. It was bound to happen.

Love,

Why is this scaring you so much mommy?

Elle-isms and update on our house

So one of Elenore’s new things is to run around the house making a growling/snorting noise. Matt and I laugh that she sounds like a old man. This morning she was doing her new sound and Matt goes, “What are you doing Elenore?” She looks at him smirks and continues on.

Everyday she is showing us more and more of her personality, and its looking to be a real hard one. Haha We definitely have our hands full and are loving every minute of it.

 

 

So as many of you know, we are in the process of buying a home. We are beyond excited about this and are becoming very impatient for the house to close. The actual closing date is the 25th, but our realtor and mortgage lender are telling us that they are shooting for the 15th. Lots of prayer for an early closing would be awesome, since after the 15th we have to start paying out of pocket for the TLF we are currently living in. It wouldn’t hurt us financially at all. But it would still be nice to not have to pay some of our own money and be done with close quarters and noisy neighbors.

Love,

Tracey

Starting a blog

Yes, I know. Every mom out there has a blog. And some of my friends will laugh over this. I promised many of you that I would NEVER be a blogging mom. But it was bound to happen, right?

So here is a place, where my family back in Washington, California, and Texas can all see what is happening in the life of little Elenore. I wont be very good at updating it, but I will try. I promise.

This is for all you Grandmas ❤
