Here is Lizzie in one of the dresses that her birthmom gave to us when we were in Louisiana. It fits her perfectly and is very festive! She is pretty excited about these shoes too :)
Pretty girl!

Lizzie had her first long spaghetti experience this week. She loved it and we enjoyed watching her eat - it seemed to give us permission to eat like this as well (look out for us the next time we eat in a restaurant).

Speaking of restaurant, Kate, Mom, Lizzie and I went to Ellsworth to do some shopping last week. Lizzie was pretty hungry by this point - I think she is saying "Mom, put down the camera and please order me some food!" We had a great lunch and a successful day of shopping.

Last weekend we visited Katie at the lake. The water has been drained some, so there is much more rocky coastline to explore. It was windy and chilly, but we had a great day.
