A little wore out!!!

We are hard at work trying to get everything done, but elly m. feels the stress too. She gets really wore out and just passes out sometimes even with a yogurt wrapper in her hand. We also try to have a little bit of fun while we are doing all this cleaning and junk. Here is a couple pics. of elly m. riding the mop with jonathan pulling her.

elly m. in her scarf

We love to put new things on elly m. and tell her how cute she is. This scarf was fun entertainment this morning!!! she doesn't seem to mind things on her head so much....that is probably good since she will probably be wearing hats in the hot sun all summer.

day with the fam.

We spend the day galavanting around sweden yesterday with the schmit/janson clan. I am sad to say that the Peter, Helen Janson family whom we spent many weekends with have hardly made it onto the blog. I don't really understand why???? We spent many weekends with them and much time laughing, playing game, talking and having a good time. the peter janson family will be missed by the jonathan schmit family. they made our time in sweden easier for me to stand... much easier because of them. We can't wait to see them this summer in the land o' memphis.

12,500 Crane Birds in one place

Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Birds, but i mean who is counting???? They are!!! that's right, some here old people in Sweden have nothing better to do except attract tourists, including us, out to a lake to see tons of birds that come here every year to mate and count them. How they count them, who in the world knows, but they do. We enjoyed ourselves here, I should of done a count of people above the age of 65, it would of been close to 500 (exaggerating a little), but i think we were definitely the youngest people there!!!! No birds really danced for us though, that was kind of disappoint22ing. by the way elly m`. wis hel2ping em2211me 2to 1type as `you 2can` see222!!~!!!! so i guess that me`ans I a`m donq2Qe.

She isn't always happy!!!

I was looking through pictures the other day and realized, sometimes they are a little unrealistic. Elly M. is not always happy. so here is a picture of her being unhappy! Which doesn't happen all that often, but often enough that there should be at least one picture posted. She is getting lots of teeth, we are on the 8th one and i am not so sure we aren't working on 9 and 10, but somebody won't let me put my fingers in her mouth anymore... not sure why, but she doesn't like it.

It is always fun when jonathan has the day off work and today, Thursday is his last day. He will be half sad, half ecstatic i think. The prisoners have become some weird part of our daily conversation. But very interesting. He will have many stories to tell everyone when we return. He definitely hung out with a rougher crowd than i did while we were here.

In the pictures, Elly M. enjoys playing in her crib right now. She wants to get in there and sit with her toys and toss herself around. She also really likes being with Jonathan while he is playing the harmonica. This girl loves music...... she loves to sing, listen to instruments. It is hilarious.... when one of us starts to sing, she starts kind of making a noise along with us. She definitely takes after her daddy's family when it come to the musical side of things.

Day with Mickie and Friends...

Elly M. with Sofia...

Elly M. teething...

This is Elly M. and Sofia... Sofia is a very cool Swedish girl...

We went to Sofia's house yesterday to hang out. She is a very fun girl. She had a couple little rubber duckies that Elly M..couldn't get enough of and the coolest sunglasses that she really enjoyed wearing. I found out that there are pretty normal friendly people here in Sweden, too bad so sad that we only have 2 weeks left. hopefully those really nice people will come to Memphis to visit us......
