Looking cool.



Elise loved Josh's police car. Josh would often push her around too.
It appears she got the best of him in this picture.
Watch where you're going Elise!
He's a great cousin and loves "baby Elise" as he and Kara call her.

It was great for us sisters to be together again. We had lots of
fun talking and laughing and helping Jody with her wedding plans.

Elise loves all the flaps on her books. She did very well on our
trip over to Ontario last week.

Elise and cousin Kara loved splashing around in the tub.

The cousins not exactly saying cheese.

Since we had to put the camera on the ground for this picture we missed out on a very beautiful Vermont background :-(

Good morning mommy & daddy!
Elise is our little sunshine in the morning.

Elise loves our big picture window. We have a great view of the
hillside and the trees changing colors.

Yummy! I got a whole apple.

Still at the apple orchard. There were some beautiful morning glories.
We both love blue!

A day in the life at the Hofer household.
I'm making an apple pie from the freshly picked apples.
Elise is helping by emptying out the drawers and being silly.

Elise teaching Daddy how to count with the counting book.

Yipee! I'm a happy girl!
Elise truly is a little sweetheart. She brings us so much joy.


Caught red-handed!
Look Mom, we got all the diapers out for you!
Caleb and Elise like to explore and get in trouble together.
They keep me on my toes!

If only I could get these tied, maybe I could walk.

Family picture at the apple orchard. Elise was an angel on Daddy's back.
Mommy picked a bunch of apples and gave me samples of the different types of apples.
Yum! I love apples. Afterward, we had crepes at the orchard's restaurant.
