Yellow Submarine CAKE

Jenelle made this cake for a friend’s son’s first birthday party. She’s getting really good at this sort of thing. I am more than happy to watch Eliana while she makes these fancy cakes. 🙂

Opening Day

Baseball season is here! I usually root for the Brewers, and Jenelle usually cheers on the Cubs. Which team is Eliana backing? This photo might give you some indication.

Singing and Swinging

While I don’t belong on American Idol, I can bring a smile to my daughter’s face with a song. The song is “Hosanna” by Paul Baloche, which I am playing at church with the worship band tomorrow.

Dedication Time!

We dedicated baby Eliana at Kenosha Bible Church this past Sunday. Also dedicated that day was baby Jesse, the third son of our friends Janet & Jamie. Here’s a video of both dedications. Pastor Jim G. did a great job!

Winter Zooms Along

The three of us are doing great!  Here’s an album with some more Eliana photos.  She will be seven weeks old tomorrow.  Her next official weigh-in is next week, but we think she’s already surpassed eight pounds.

New Feature: QuickPix

I just added another page to the top horizontal bar of benandjenelle.com.  It’s QuickPix, a page with lots of unique photos I’ve snapped with my cell phone.  Check it out!

Baby’s First Christmas, Part 2

Lots more photos here! Happy New Year!  If the past week is any indication, 2011 is going to be an eventful year for us.  Here’s the highlights of our holiday gatherings: Christmas Day (Dec. 25): Jenelle, Eliana, and I went to the airport to pick up Jenelle’s parents, who flew in from Oregon.  We parked […]
