I put together a video of a day in the life of Eliana at 6 months. You can see her playing and pulling up to stand. There's a nice long segment of her NOT napping. Then you can watch her eating courtesy of William's excellent videotaping skills. And we finish of with fun in the tub! Watch the video.

My favorite feature of our new website is RSS feeds. If you're an avid blog reader like myself, you may already use RSS feeds. But if not, you might want to give it a try. Basically, RSS feeds let you know when a website has been updated. You can add feeds to your google or yahoo homepage or to your browser's favorites list. Personally I use a google homepage and read blogs and news from there. I check several blogs all from that one page. It's great! And with RSS feeds now on our site, you can see what's new without even having to visit. Just add our homepage to your feeds and it will tell you when on our site has been updated! It's easy! You can click on the little orange box in the bottom left corner of the page to add us to your browser's favorites. Or, if you have a google or yahoo homepage, just find the little link on your homepage to "add stuff," look for the little orange box to add feeds, and paste in our web address. Our blog will show up in the headlines on your homepage! Good luck! I hope you take advantage of this handy new feature!

Wow! With this new website, I now have my own blog! I thought I'd take this opportunity to try it out. This past week has been a blur of fun and excitement. Here's a recap:

Tuesday: Eliana's adoption day
Wednesday: MN Zoo - We picked up Dani and met Hallie, Seth and Forrest for a fun day at the zoo. Jenny, a friend of Dani's, and her baby girl met up with us later in the day.
Thursday: Eliana had her 6 month doctor visit and we spent most of the day at Grandma Lanz's
Friday: Leah's kids - Abi, Faith and Parker came over while she had a surgery consult. Today she had her gall bladder removed (fun vacation!)
Saturday: We had the McKeever/Corneliusen family reunion at Ferry Point
Sunday: The immediate McKeever family met for lunch and a grandkid photo shoot
