Me and Eliana at Bebo Norman / Jeremy Camp

We had a blast at this concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Santa Rosa.
Eliana fell asleep towards the end! Landon took the picture. He's a big Bebo fan, too.

Bird making

Eliana had a school project to make a house of some sort. She helped
sew up this cute felt bird and used hay,leaves and paper to make a
nest. As you can see she is quite proud.

Eliana's Party Dress

This is a little old, but here is Eliana's party dress.

Also, this is my first blogpost from my iPhone. We'll see how that
turns out. Maybe I'll post more often this way. It's pretty easy.
