You, baby girl, in your most favorite place. I just love this picture. That sweet little mischievous grin and you just trying your best to make sure you are fully protected from everyone that wants anywhere near you. I love that you’re my girl, Liza Jane.

It’s rare these days that it gets to just be me and you but after today, I’ve realized we’ve got to start making these times happen more often. We went to May Day together and then had lunch and it was just the sweetest time. You held my hand pretty much everywhere we went. You ask me thousands of questions and wanted to read everything, everywhere. At one point you said “it’s really nice just is, it’s unusual”. You are seriously growing before my very eyes and I am so proud of the little boy you are.

I’m so behind on posting so many things but I just needed to put these sweet photos of you on here so I wouldn’t forget this day. It was a really good one.

And this girl just did whatever everyone else was doing and never complained a bit....well, unless someone other than me or Jared tried to hold her. 🙄 https://www.instagram.com/janeellene/p/BucAC_YnVeqxNCj0VousHthjbuQX04jmwjEWmc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i7ztbjh48b61

This kid played so hard and just kept asking “am I big now mom?” because all he wanted to do was all the things we had to drag Henry crying to do. https://www.instagram.com/janeellene/p/Bub_oD6nQAJe-EX8CDq6x1MXCwU0CB-Ff2XoYw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qt3mxxvs4pwe

Currently when I say “smile Henry” 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/janeellene/p/Bub_doXnkR5Vxf0NW_l_cZS9j9hfFkksZqwhDM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1njooxxs1lgqw

She may be 96 and requiring a couple days in the hospital but she’s always up for a game. Henry is a pretty lucky little boy that he gets to make memories with his great-grandmother. I will cherish these moments for a lifetime. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPtd1lHDv6SS2a6V1EdCL6EHKUpX51HJH-ogU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tiq70cm3w27c

Jared and Henry are at the UT game, we’re just over here sorting m&m’s. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFTqsaHLxKzwraYD7Yqsh03lrwPtduZLeStT80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a6j3tuqs73xx

I love this so much. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCz35unsEmebAxeqyBQfTEZVeA8nEB4opvlq00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c0uurtyfp74d

Liza Girl...

It’s seriously been so long since I’ve made the time to write anything on here, but it’s just me and you tonight and I’m sitting here thinking about this past year and the fact that it’s just gone by oh, so quickly. You’re in my arms nursing at the present moment. I feel like I’m holding on to this just as long as I can because it’s one small way I can keep you attached to me and one small way we can still have some uninterrupted you and me time. You’re not quite ready to give it up completely. You’ve been just doing it in the mornings and before bed but if we have to skip the morning ones if I’ve been gone or we’ve had to run out the door you have been ok with it. Ive been a little sad about that as I can’t really use the excuse “she’s just not quite ready to give that up.” I’ve enjoyed being able to nurse all of you but with each one it seems I enjoy it just a little more as I realize the moments are so fleeting and I want to keep you little as long as possible. You’ve been more attached to me than anyone and I can’t say I haven’t loved it. You have stayed a “baby” much longer than most. You didn’t start crawling until about 2 months ago (11 mo) and walking still seems a ways off. So many people look at me like “there must be something wrong with her”(my mom being one of those) but you just have decided to do things on your own time and I have no fear that you’ll get it...you just aren’t in a hurry. I like that about you. I hope you stay that way. Life is crazy and everyone is always hustling about (often myself included) like everything is the most important thing. I hope you are content in the ordinary, quietness of every day moments that you don’t try to rush them but can rest in them and savor them. Well, I didn’t really have in grandeur thoughts to share but I just wanted to remember this sweet moment as I rock you to sleep and make sure you know just how much you’re loved and how much I have adored this last year with you.

This 10 year thing is killing me. Where does the time go??? https://www.instagram.com/p/BspKKtWnTMTMe8kpOPF8L-MJ0QBunbv8N7Dt300/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13v56mv8fqxqj

Guess who HATED their first swim lessons today??? https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoE47vHXPqxp4t8j_tuqFkE5PKYADM6I-4dcY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jy6u1vwy7s80

We said “see you later” again to one of our favorites last night. It was the absolute best having him home for a couple weeks. Next time we see him he’ll be about to say “I do” and we’ll get to add another member to the family. People have always thought my parents were crazy for having so many kids...in some ways it does seem crazy, but I can’t imagine missing out on the joy of getting to watch and experience life with so many so near and dear to my heart. We love you, Jacob Evan, and can’t wait until we see you again! https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRPt6YnDh7yi0IhkMurj5fZMK2QBRrmhbx-5Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9n0p9i1ich

We had such a sweet time, with close family, celebrating this little girl’s life and our commitment to raising her in the knowledge and love of our Heavenly Father. Incredibly thankful for family that love her and love us and are walking in this journey with us. We love you, Eliza Jane Erwin! https://www.instagram.com/p/Br-5d6znpKeM6yhHzTDskp_Rz38eTayMCoPj_M0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o8xlw15gtusf

This picture captures the essence of each of this kiddos so well. Henry: I love for you to take my picture. Even better if you post it on Instagram. Elliott: I hate that you made me sit still to take this picture. Eliza Jane: just being straight up adorable. Merry Christmas, everyone! Pray you know the hope and joy of the ONE whom we celebrate today! https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0y2BfHvQlNoAVNEn8nie4VgBMzXascLPH7RE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dkkdw22silwe

Had to tell them to act like they like each other all the time. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvWKVpnEVKVrON5xXeWIWfh8jDj15DtJKaTY80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nsuplga3al18

They all wanted in the same bed this morning! https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTIrpzHfOJ32icrfrcPKqKTk-u4Cuh49dD1GQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12qlshw24icps

Doing some catching up...scroll on if you aren’t interested. Henry’s first basketball game! He has been looking forward to this day for weeks and has been practicing on his goal in the driveway and gathering up all needed equipment (shoes, shorts, shirt). He has been beyond thrilled that Jared and Papa get to be his coaches and was so so so excited to make a goal at the first game. Thankful to Jackson for filling in while Papa was in Nepal. Wish I could have snapped a picture of Henry’s fan club...it pretty much made his year! https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTIjkznX3WYdCXVchsph2mQNhiC8zT6jBHEGc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sjmwx3vc9pkl
