Where to begin..............






For those who don't know Eliza is here!!! She was born 5/1/07 at 9:27 AM 6lbs10oz and 19 inches long! After a little bit of a bumpy start she is doing well. We went to see the cardiologist who told us he is not concerned about the hole and will never do surgery just keep an eye on it...that was a huge answer to prayers. We passed our hearing test on try 3 :) And after a week of non stop screaming...and I mean screaming. We went to the Dr who said her refulx (she spit up all over me and the entire office!) was bad enough she didn't need to do any of the test and her screaming was because her esophagus was so inflamed. Opps guess I should have taken her soon. But we have been on meds for a day and I think they are starting to help. And at 6 weeks she is 8lbs 12oz. Finally a baby that gains weight! So that is our start with Eliza. But she is such a beautiful baby and a big answer to prayers!!!



This pretty much answers the questions of how my little breech baby was jammed in there. It took her a while to put her legs down. If you look at the first pic you can see where she put her foot print on her face!




















Isabelle finished school a few weeks ago and is now at Kamp Klein for June. Today was ladybug day so she came home with all ladybug crafts and yes I sent her to school in a ladybug shirt!! Here she is on her last day of school. Also she has learned how to drink from a real cup, but we are still sticking with the sippy cup for now! She is really starting to talk...about everything.









































Isabelle is very good at being a big sister, but I think she has figured out the baby is not leaving and has been less than thrilled with her lately. She wants me to hold her always and not the baby!
























She is still probably more fun playing with Huddy at this point though......

Yippee! Finally learned how to leave a comment on Cara's blog the other day! Glad to see an update from the Alman zoo! Eliza is changing soooo fast. The kids were loving the pictures. They (me too) agree that Isabelle looks so much older! Hope we see ya'll soon!

Love, The Jackson clan!

Congrats on the new baby. She is just as beautiful as Isabelle. I cannot believe how big Isabelle is. Glad to see everyone is doing well.
