Daily life at the McElroy house

In the second picture, I was trying to get a picture of them in their matching shirts. I wasn't able to get that little one to cooperate very well!

Our Little Ted Williams

Here are some pictures from Graeme's first t-ball game. His team is the Cardinals and he is #9 after the legendary Red Sox player Ted Williams. He really enjoys it.

New Pictures of Little Sister

I guess my camera isn't sophisticated enough to capture her red hair and light blue eyes!

Easter

This is the first year that we have dyed eggs. Graeme had lots of fun!


It was quite an adventure getting everyone dressed up and out the door for church for the first time as a party of five. Graeme ended up getting sick that morning and I got sick that afternoon with the flu. I honestly didn't care if everyone was smiling or looking at the camera. We can just look back at these and have a memory of Easter in 2008.

3 Weeks Old!

Caroline's Heroes at Fire Station 30

We went to the fire station and saw the firemen who delivered Caroline at our house. I made them a meal and wanted to thank them in person. They were so wonderful. I plan on keeping in touch with them on a regular basis. She will probably have her 1st birthday celebration at the station.

Welcome Caroline Rose!

Caroline Rose McElroy born at 9:00 p.m. on February 27, 2008
6 lbs. 12 oz and 20.5 in long


Here is Caroline with her two proud big brothers. It was quite a challenge getting the 3 of them in a picture by myself!





We aren't sure yet if she will be a blue-eyed redhead. Everyone seems to see some red in her hair but will it be enough to be considered a true redhead? Jeff is remaining hopeful. Her eyes look very blue. The boys never had eyes this blue as a baby.

Gavin walks!

Gavin is having fun walking around the house. He falls face forward alot but gets right back up and keeps going.

Gavin turns ONE !

Guitar Hero

Jeff got the Wii game Guitar Hero for Christmas. He and Graeme have enjoyed playing their guitars. I feel like I have been at a rock concert for the last week...

Christmas 2007

We had a very blessed and relaxing Christmas. Graeme really got into the meaning of Christmas and lots of Santa Claus questions! He enjoyed drinking hot chocolate for the first time and looking at Christmas lights from the back seat.
Santa brought him a Buzz Lightyear watch, Thomas train set, a guitar and he and Gavin got comfy chairs for their playroom. Gavin literally slept all of Christmas day. He was up about 30 minutes Christmas morning and didn't know what was going on. I wish I could have taken more pics of him. I guess he was catching up on his sleep. He will be ready next year!

December Fun

Graeme wanted to visit Santa for a second time and make sure he knew that he wanted a Buzz Lightyear watch and a train set.

We have been enjoying getting ready for Christmas. We played outside in the little bit of snow that we got last weekend, did some baking and made a Gingerbread House. It was lots of fun! Gavin missed all the fun because he was sleeping. I planned it that way!

Trimming the Tree

Graeme helped me decorate the Christmas tree yesterday. We finally got the house straightened up so we can sit back and enjoy the beautiful smelling tree. He is very excited this year but he doesn't understand that Christmas is another 4 weeks away!

Sorghum Mills Tree Farm

We went to Sorghum Mills Tree Farm in Edmond on Sunday to get a Christmas tree. It was a fun experience and will now be the beginning of a Christmas tradition for us. We picked a Frasier tree from North Carolina. They had 50 acres of trees but if you didn't like the Pine from Oklahoma, which we didn't, you didn't have to walk very far. After we picked it out, we went inside the building and had hot chocolate and apple cider.

Gavin's 1st Haircut

There were just too many curls on Gavin's head! The last straw came when we went to visit Santa and he called her a girl. I think I cut it that afternoon.

Graeme's Birthday

We got Graeme a red bike with training wheels and a golf game for his birthday.
