Wisdom Teeth!

Please pray for Heather, she has her upper wisdom teeth out today! Hopefully the surgery goes well and the surgeon does a good job. Just for fun here's a cute pic of Elise from the other day....



Report....thanks to all who prayed, Heather's surgery and recovery went great!

Then and Now

Last week we visited Columbia, and had fun exploring Rock Bridge park with the Eifferts. Heather and I enjoyed going there when we were first dating. I dug up an old picture we took at Rock Bridge back then, in 2003.



And so here's one from last weekend taken at Rock Bridge!

Home again!...Here's some pics & vids!

Phewh! Heather and I are temporarily finished with a couple months of traveling. It is very good to be home in Missouri. To make up for the lack of posts, let's put up some cute videos of Elise, and some "recent" pictures from the last month or so.



Elise is starting to have fun flirting with herself in the mirror:



I always wanted to capture how much she loves her baby mobile. From the very beginning she has loved it intensely. Heather and I always joke that it was the best four dollars we ever spent. She was actually grumpy and not terribly excited on the day I took video of her and her mobile:

Elise's very first merry-go-round ride:



Then we switch spots:

We had fun visiting our friends Kevin and Elle in Chicago. They are expecting, and due in several weeks! Elise woke up pretty early in the morning (much earlier than anybody else) so I took her on a walk. We paused for a couple timer shots (above)
