The weekend of April 12th 2008, Rich went to Chicago for a "boys weekend" so I loaded up Mollie, Davis, Max, Tate and Eloise and we headed to Louisville, KY for Mollie's dance team competition. Kelly met us there and we stayed the weekend for fun.

On Saturday, after a Friday night of swimming and jumping from bed to bed in the hotel, we headed to the dance competition where Mollie and her team took home Platinum. This is the highest award - we were so proud. Those girls can dance!

To reward the boys for sitting through such a dreadful thing, we went to the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum. It was a lot of fun and the boys got regulation bats with their names engraved.

Eloise was a trooper as always! Enjoy the pics!

Tate update

Just wanted to write a quick note to explain some pics of Tate. Tate was recently diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. He is completely healthy but will lose all of his hair. It is an autoimmune disorder whereby the immune system attacks the hair follicles. While we will have some ups and downs with this diagnosis, we are very lucky if this is the worst we are dealt. Anyways, just wanted to explain why you will see some earlier pics of Tate will long hair (Eloise's birth) and then more recent ones with little to no hair. Visit www.naaf.com for more information.

First Day Home

Eloise was greeted by many on her first day home........

On January 23, 2008, Eloise Margaret Johnson was born into this house of boys and immediately won the heart of her daddy.

As you can see from the pic, she was big and long.....9 lbs. and 22 inches. She almost didn"t fit in the infant warmer and moved right into size 1 diapers.

Exersaucer

Eloise had her first experience in the Exersaucer on Friday. She LOVED it!

Okay, so we saw Dan and Leigh over Easter and they introduced us to this great idea. Now friends and family can keep up with our busy life!!! I will post next starting with Eloise's birth and move to the present. My hope is to post weekly......we shall see!
