I finally got this ultrasound image put on my computer. It's not the best image, but you get the point. October is right around the corner. We can't wait to meet him!

What can I say? I'm proud to be her mother.

ELLOISE: The Fabulous

We wouldn't miss Turkey Days in Frazee! It was a beautiful day to spend at the parade and the beach!

And GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY! I've completed my Jacob cloning machine and will be taking orders for Christmas!

We've visited the Red River Zoo a few times this summer. Lulu has gotten brave enough to feed the goats - but that horse had better keep it's distance!

We also enjoyed a weekend at Auntie Jackie's cabin on Tulaby Lake. Elloise was hamming it up for the camera, as usual.

More fun at Auntie Barbie's campground on the 4th of July!

Elloise loved the fireworks!

Here are some shots of Elloise having a great summer...

at the Lamb Park carnival, 3rd of July in Hawley and 4th of July in Frazee.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Houdek celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this summer. We had fun playing at the lake with all of the relatives that we don't get to see very often.

....more from Deer River.

Believe it or not - that roasted marshmallow (a first) was rejected!

Elloise and Mommy had a fun long weekend in Deer River to visit Auntie Jess, who was home from California. She loved jumping on the trampoline, driving the pontoon, holding fishies and swinging with the cat!

Lulu enjoyed a weekend in St. Cloud with the Houdeks. We stayed at an awesome hotel, enjoyed a day in the park, and attended a friend's wedding.

Elloise has been enjoying the water this summer! She likes to play in her pool, run in the "silly guy" sprinkler, and has even braved jumping into the lake! (if someone is there to catch her)
