2nd Anniversary


It is hard to believe that we have been married for 2 years! We have surely accomplished quite a bit... purchased a house, had a beautiful son and expecting a daughter in a few short months. Life is so great! Anna was gracious enough to come over and babysit Jonathan for the evening while
Chris and I dined at the Outback, played a rousing game of putt-putt (in which Chris won!) and then enjoyed some refreshing ice cream at Dairy Queen.

Married Couple's Bible Study

Two years ago we helped put together a group of our married friends for a once a month Bible study. Just yesterday we met for our monthly meeting, and I was just extactic to think about the incredible life changes that we have all been through together and how drastically our lives have changed, together, in the past couple of years.
When we first came together, one of the couple's had a son, Gabe. Then, at every monthly meeting following each of the couple's slowly announced that they too were going to be expanding their family- until all of us were expecting! Since, we have all had our beautiful children and continue to grow in fellowship. It is a true blessing to be apart of this group and to be challenged in our faith with our friends AND to be going through the same stage in life!
In the past few weeks all of our kiddos have turned 1 (with the exception of Gabe, who turned 2)! They are all walking and are just as cute as can be. he he
As you know, Chris and I will be expecting our second child in July and it was annouced just a couple of weeks ago that Mercy and Sergio will also be expecting their second in November! It is fun to look at the succession of pictures...
This is a picture taken in April 2007. (from left to right): Annie and her son Gabriel (age 1), Sarah- who had her son in February 2007, Mercy (holding Jonathan) who was due at the end of April 2007, Samantha (holding Reece, Sarah's son) was due June 2007, myself who had Jonathan in February and Alia who was due in just a couple of weeks of this picture.
This picture was taken just a few short months later in July 2007 when had just had our babies... aren't they cute?? They were so small!
And look at us now! (from left to right): Sarah with Reece, Annie with Gabe, Mercy with Ana Maria and myself with Jonathan.
And, they just play SO WELL together!

The walking is being perfected...

Jonathan is getting so much better at walking! His favorite game now is to bring all the books, one by one, on the bookshelf to mom. It is pretty cute to see him walking so much! Enjoy the videos.

What does Elizabeth look like 28 weeks pregnant?

So, I am sure that you have been wondering what I look like when I am 28 weeks pregnant, right? Well, here you are...

Padriac McCoy Waller

For the past several months, I have been able to watch my ADORABLE nephew every other Monday afternoon. Padriac is 5 months and is so much fun to be with! He and Jonathan have a grand time together...


"HA! I got your socks off, Padriac!"



My socks are gone!! Where are they? My feet are cold... it is snowing outside.



Yummy! Mommy left me some prunes for lunch.





Auntie Elizabeth and Uncle Chris have the best toys!

Chris's Weekend Getaway

Chris was given the opportunity to go up to Winter Park with four friends for a weekend "retreat" and relaxation! He spent his time exploring the mountains, having good conversation, eating yummy food, watching basketball and just relaxin' with the guys. Here are a couple of pictures...
Chris with his friends, Adam and Kevin.

Another picture inside.


While Chris was "frolicking" in the mountains, I was able to hangout with their wives and children. One of the things we did was have Sunday brunch...
Me with Michelle and Nicole. (This picture was taken by a 6 year old! Impressive huh?!)
As you can see, Jonathan is really excited to have his picture taken! he he

Playing on Breakfast Food




One of the local malls has a play area for kids, that is all large breakfast food items. Today, Jonathan and his friend, Recce, played in the granola and blueberries.

Mommy's Little Helper!


Just wait until he can really walk... then he really is going to be vaccuuming!
