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.

Children's Christmas Party at VT-4 Squadron



This past Saturday Jeff, Elise and I went to the squadron (aka Jeff's work) Children's Christmas Party. Santa arrived in a T-6 full of presents which eventually were handed out to the kids. I don't think Elise really knew what was going on, she seemed to like walking around and finding other kids her age so she could share her pacifier with them! Elise got some new Cars from Santa.


Santa's Grand Entrance!!!

Elise fearing Santa Claus.


Finally, she accepts her gift and of course is more interested in the bow!




Elise about to crash after her big party.

Green Thumb Elise

Lately, Elise has been busy playing with all her new toys (birthday toys) and has been walking everywhere! Elise is saying Dada, but no Mama-yet. Below is a picture of Elise modeling in her beige puffy vest that Auntie Hartley just had to get her! It's fits wonderfully and is too cute.

Elise sacked out after a stroller ride. She likes to lounge!
Where is that shoe???

Elise discovered she has a green thumb while planting flowers with Grandma Brown.


She just has to help!

By the way, Thank you to everyone that donated to Scottish Rite we have approximately $1800! Thank you all! I think the next time we will donate will be for her 5th birthday.
