With mommy at the zoo. Like those giraffes.
Cousin Kaitlyn with daddy. So cute!
Tanning with Aunt Norton and Aunt Deanna.
Mommy.
At Cousin Madison's birthday party. SO much fun!
Why do these people keep putting me in stupid hats?
Daddy gets home from work.
With Bestefar in Elnesvagen, Norway.
With Oldemor in Norway.
With Bestemor in Norway!
With Camilla at a nice picnic. Good times!
Jan-Henrik is the guy in the blue shirt on the right. He will keep me out of jail when I come to visit.
Marit, Marie, and Schatze. Yes, Schatze. In mu humble opinion, that's animal cruelty.
Oldemor in the kitchen.
Bestefar in the living room.

So last night I was out on the town, and proud. My rainbow leg warmers sure were a hit at the parade. So many of the marchers came to say hi especially to me! I loved all the colorful neon lights, and disco dancing with daddy!




One of my favorite pastimes...

This is a guy I like to call Pat the Bunny. My Aunt Jen gave him to me, and we snooze together every night, and take naps during the day.

My new favorite game: "SO BIG!"

My friends and I got together for Memorial Day weekend at the Monroe Country Club.
Matt-Matt and KG swapping tall tales. Quite the ladies' man Matt-Matt!
Aunt Raven and Cousin Holden sunning by the pool. Does it get any better than this?

Aunt Norton and special guest star Kelleigh Greenburg! Enjoying those Monroe Country Club privileges - well worth the membership dues.

Dirty Uncle Brett and Madison Grace. If you're looking for bad influences, look no further.

Big cousin Madison. She likes to help! Soon she'll be feeding me Cheetos.

Uncle Michael and Kaitlin. I think he stole that shirt from Daddy! WTF?

Me and K. Chilling.



Aunt Deanna and my cousin Kaitlyn. Definitely both ladies who lunch.

This is my grandaddy Matt. Once I can talk, I might call him Matt-Matt. Has a nice ring to it.
My grandfather Odd, or "Bestefar" in Norwegian. He came to visit me just after I was born with my Babcia Halina. I was so happy to see them, and loved all of the nice Norwegian cooking. The only drawback was that Daddy ate all of the gooseberry pie himself, and didn't share any with me!

Uncle Ben. He's not just about rice any more. I laughed at him alot. He thought I was laughing with him. Like I said, I was laughing at him.

Cousin Braden again. He can really belt the blues - what a showman!

Grandma Beth. Nice chest. Makes me sleepy.

This is my Daddy Doug. Sometimes I'm not the biggest fan of his scratchy face, but he kisses me anyway! I am waiting for the callouses to form on my cheeks.

This is my Uncle Jason. He lives in Colorado. I will be using his house as my apres-ski cottage, and he will make me hot toddies after a hard day on the slopes. Gimme 3 years.



Daddy just graduated from school...again. That's quite enough!


Here is my first official suitor - Timothy Daniel. He's pretty hot, but I'm gonna string him along so I can play the field. He's quality people though.


Aunt Pam, with cousin Braden. Aunt Pam will make sure my parents don't dress me in plaid and stripes at the same time. Cousin Braden will probably take me to my first party, and undo all of the careful grooming his mother taught me. If you don't believe me, check out the next picture with the raspberry on his thumb - no sense of decorum.

Hi. My name is Eloise Marie Ingrid "Sweet Loo" "Oisie" "The Wheeze" "Loo"
Monroe





Posing for all those pictures sure is tiring!
