Lately, at the Elliott household......

My little Kinley turned 8 months old...... My how time flies!



The Easter Bunny delivered the goods and we got all dressed up to celebrate our Risen Savior at Bellview Baptist!

A special guest dropped in (Cinderella) to visit my other little princess and a few of her pals on her 5th birthday.

And Kinley turned into a little mermaid (she wanted to match big sis in her Ariel costume... LOL)

That's all for now! That's about all this momma can handle for the month of April!

Hope you all are doing well!

Love, Karen

Meet My Assistant - Welcome to the Elliott Team!

Name: Kinley

Age: 6 months

Experience: Personally shadowed and assisted top area Realtor for my ENTIRE life (now THAT's experience) by attending conference calls (and sometimes voicing my opinion during call,) attending meetings with contractors (and yelling at them if they're not doing their job,) and drooling and crumpling all documents my boss needs to send thru the fax ensuring multiple paper jams.... just to keep boss on her toes.

Personal strategy for success: Making sure my boss (a.k.a. Mommy) starts her day early, say at 4 a.m. most mornings. Success comes to those who don't sleep, right?

Favorite Hobby: Chewing on everything

Least favorite thing to do: Sleep

Happy New Year!!!!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..... Here are some pics of the fun we had during the holidays. The little boy in the picture below is our new nephew Drew who is Sherra and Pete's little boy. Hopefully, I'll have some time later to post more (yeah, right:)

My girls.....

These two are keeping me very busy these days. Here are some highlights...

Anna Kate won 2nd place at her school pageant and the People's Choice award (audience vote.) I was a proud mommy (and that pageant wore me out!) I never thought I'd be a "stage mom" but I was so nervous about the pageant, even more so than Anna Kate. It was fun, but I got my first taste of doing "competition" with kids. I'm not sure I'm up for it with two girls:) Gotta lot of years of this stuff ahead of me!

Kinley is growing too fast! I blink and she's another month old. I want her to stay tiny. I'm already missing the little 8 pounds, 11 ounces I brought home. Now she's 12 pounds, 9 ounces and thinks she's 6 months old. She's only 3 months old, but she is sitting in her exersaucer already because she gets bored laying down or swinging. She likes to chatter just like big sis. She coos at me like she's trying to talk to me and has the sweetest smile (BIG dimples like sis.) I'm having fun with her, but wish I could slow down time.
Here are some pics of our latest fun times:

Whew! Who has time to do this anymore?????

I can't figure out how people with babies have time to blog???? I'm doing good to just remember to eat and brush my teeth every day! Between the loss of sleep and constant activity at my house, I should be given "Mom of the Year" award for finding this minute to blog:) I hope my children one day appreciate all the time I spend trying to take pics, document, and scrapbook every living, waking moment of their childhood.... LOL. Love, Karen
