Another week gone and Elizabeth will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. In the past week she has started making so many more noises. It really is so cute. She coos and grunts and squeaks. She seems so ready to tell Marc and me what she thinks. Go figure being our child, right? Elizabeth has out grown of her newborn diapers and moved upt to size ones.

Elizabeth had more family and friends visit this week. Her older cousins were enchanted with her. She looked at us like “What? More kids?” But I know she is looking forward to the day when she can run and play with them.

On Tuesday, Elizabeth and I went to Westminster (where I work) and said hello. Elizabeth slept the whole time, which disappointed some people who love to hold babies, but there will be plenty of chances in the future. We also drove through some horrible MN rain. The weather this week kept us inside. It was too warm to do anything, except sweat! Thankfully it has cooled off some so we can get out walking and in the garden again.
Speaking of the garden, we have green beans and snow peas ripe. I was a little over zealous planting the beans. Hopefully Elizabeth likes them. The raspberries are still going. Thankfully some friends came over and picked so we don’t have to take care of them. Since it is the season, I bought some peaches and plums, pealed, cooked, pureed and froze them for food for Elizabeth next winter. I’ll do that with the extra green beans, too. I also canned 9 pints of peaches for Marc & me. They will taste really good in February.
We made it to church this morning. Elizabeth slept through the whole service. The only time she startled is when the choir stopped singing. We don’t usually attend the 10:30 service. It was fun to see all of the children there, especially the little girls. It was like a preview of what Elizabeth will be like in the future.
