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.

New Play Kitchen and Playground photos

The kitchen below is new! It is a early Birthday/Christmas gift from Great Grandma Cox!
Elise loves it! She opens the microwave and oven doors pretending to cook or bake something.
It is fun to watch to her. The kitchen even has shelves that the little checkered curtain hides and it also has a chalkboard on the side of it. It was rather elaborate to put together, it took Jeff almost 3 hours, and he is a handyman. But, it was worth it. Thank you Grandma Cox!!



Elise at the playground down the road.

Getting ready to go down the slide! Such a big girl.


The playground has misters, which Elise loves (as you can see). She stands under them until she is literally soaked! We don't wear nice clothes to the park anymore.

Elise in the mister, again...


Here is a picture of Elise and her best friend Audrey. They are so cute together, they give each other hugs and kisses all the time!

Audrey is patting Elise on her shoulder, they are soo nice to each other.

My goodness, how time flies!! I can't believe how big Elise is getting! AND she is turning 2 soon! I bet you guys will have as much fun as she does watching her open all the presents for her birthday and Christmas. I hope all is well for you guys. I can't wait for the baby to get here! Does Elise know or understand about the baby yet? Hugs and kisses, Julie
