Elizabeth's Growth Photo - Week 14

Elizabeth in shock after watching Marquette's tough one-point loss to Vanderbilt. What's a "Commodore," anyway?

Elizabeth's Growth Photo - Week 13

This week's theme? "Pretty in pink."

Random Pics of the little Lovelies...

Rachel: "this feeding thing is easy...I just hold the bottle near Elizabeth, and we're good."

Elizabeth: "hey blondie...I can't eat unless that bottle is actually IN my mouth!"



Big sister Rachel...always trying to help little sister Elizabeth.



"I'll clean this place up!"



"Did Mommy and Daddy use Downy?"



Today, heavy on the spice. Sugar? Not so much...



Elizabeth chomping on her new favorite toy...which just happens to be attached to her arm.



Elizabeth's modified version of a recliner.



In this case, the shirt says it all.

Christmas Time!

A pic strikingly similar to the one that graced the Handrich family Christmas card this year...



Cookie + Grandma's house = Gleeful Rachel.



"Did someone say "nighty-night?"



"So let me get this straight...you left my playmat at home, so you bought me this swing to make up for it. Can you forget a few more things at home on our next trip?"


"I got to meet SO many of my relatives on my Christmas trip to Grandma Barbara's house. There was my cousin Charlotte..."



"...and my cousin Claire..."



"...and, of course, my Grandma Barbara!"


"And after our trip to Escanaba, we got to host Grandpa and Grandma Handrich for another holiday gathering. Grandpa and I got to spend some quality time talking about some things, especially how we both love the Packers."



Christmas #2 for Rachel...she's now a certified paper-ripping specialist.



Christmas #1 for Elizabeth...for now, she's a paper-ripper-in-training.



Grandpa and Grandma (a.k.a. "Nona J.") Handrich with their four grandchildren -all of whom were on their best behavior for the photographer.



Grandpa Handrich and (Rachel & Elizabeth's cousin) Jack sharing a man-laugh.



Cousin Audrey perfecting her angelic expression.

Elizabeth's Growth Photo - Week 12

"OK - if Daddy can't figure out that camera by now, can we PLEASE bring in the righty from the bullpen? I've got a diaper that isn't gettin' any fresher."

Rachel's Growth Photo - Month 16

Rachel's version of a "wardrobe malfunction."

First December Snow!

"When I told you I wanted to move to California, I meant it!"



"Seriously...do right-minded people voluntarily walk around in this frigid stuff???"



"Ahhh...no freezing white stuff in my swing. You're off the hook for now..."



"...but if you ever do this to me again, I'm calling the Department of Child and Family Services!"

Elizabeth's Growth Photo - Week 11

Daddy may want to modify this shirt by adding the words "when I wanna be," but we won't sweat the details on this one...

Elizabeth's Growth Photo - Week 10

"Yes, Mr. Bear. I know...I'm cute. It's OK, you're not so bad yourself..."
