Welcome everyone to our blogspot. We are the Martin family. Jeff, Courtney and Elise. We've created the blog so we can stay in touch with our family and friends. Hopefully through pictures everyone will be able to watch Elise grow since we are far away from most of our loved ones. So, if everyone will be active participants in the blog, I think we'll have a good time.

Elise playing with Duke

Here is ten month old Elise playing with her tabletop toy.
Notice her new Lloyd Christmas haircut that mommy gave her. Here's Elise and The Duke playing in his day bed. Duke seems to tolerate Elise, but not much else.

Duke would prefer it if Elise wouldn't mess with his toys. Lately Duke keeps a few of his toys on the porch, a few in his day bed, and the remaining in his night blanket. I've thought all along that Duke was from Texas, but it appears that he may be a morman from Utah. Looks like Duke will probably be voting for Mitt Romney in the upcoming primary.

Elise likes to help mommy keep the cabinets nice and orderly. At least once a day everything comes out onto the floor so we can put it back into it's correct place. Such a Helpie Helperton.

Stay Tuned

Ah yes Aspen, California where the beer flows like wine and the women flock like the salmon of capastrana. Sweet haircut. I was wondering if those old men working on the VW were the same men you talked about from your first VW meeting. Jerad
