We had not had a baby in the house for 5 years when Eliza was born - so we were pretty excited about the whole affair! She even got a crib - all the other kids had porta-cribs! It was lots of fun - and she was a delight. 4 days after she was born, it was Leslie's wedding - and so we went! Eliza stole the show - even from the bride!!
She and Hannah were and are best pals! Lots of fun adventures in those growing-up years!
Braces and overalls - those were the teen years!
What we lovingly refer to as "the little kids!"
With Grandma Mary - who was a keen observer of Eliza - even now she can reminisce about the way Eliza was as a small child - and she is spot on!
Welcoming little bro's new wife!! Eliza is always loving and welcoming to all! She is a lot like her dad in many ways. And that's a plus!
The Selander family - sorry they are so far away - but it sure is fun to visit them - and to have them visit us!!
Have a great day Eliza - you deserve it! We love you!!
