Happy Sunday! As you get ready to watch the Oscars tonight, be sure to check out a few pictures from our Hollywood adventures!

Two weeks ago we headed out to Los Angeles, California on our very first trip as a family of five. What fun we had! Friends, family, sunshine and wonderful warm weather, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The boys were great travelers and William even lost his first tooth. We loved hanging out at the beach and playing in the sunshine. I think it’s safe to say that we’re all very excited to go back soon! 🙂

Merry Christmas to you! I hope your holiday was filled with as much love, laughter, feasts, and memories, as ours. The last two weeks have sure flown by. A business trip for Andrew, a day/night date for both of us, cooking, wrapping, planning, and getting ready for the big day. We loved spending quality time with our family and friends. Here are a few pictures from our wonderful Christmas season. 🙂

James’ Birthday and Mother’s Day

May 12, 2014 by Andrew Lovasz Leave a Comment

Hi this is Andrew posting for a sleeping Elizabeth. She was asleep by 9:00 PM tonight! After James birthday party and trip to Greenfield Village, I guess she was ready to get a bit of sleep!

So, before I drop a boatload of photos I wanted to say a quick word about this woman who posts every week on Elizabeth’s Home. My wife Elizabeth is the mother of our two, soon to be three, boys. She and I met 10 years ago when she was 20 years young. I really never thought about how she would grow back then. She has grown so much in the last ten years. She has become a fantastic wife and mother. I think she has surprised me most this year with how much she has truly become a leader. I challenged her to create this blog and stick with it. And every week she comes through with a better recipe that is healthy and tastes great. When I was told to get healthy by my doctor, she responded by taking command of the family’s meals and getting everyone healthier. And when life threw her a curveball this pregnancy, she has handled it with more grace and poise than I could have imagined ten years ago. I’m so proud of my wife Elizabeth. Happy Mother’s Day. Sleep well.

I hope everyone enjoys some pictures from our crazy busy weekend!

Happy Easter! This is Andrew posting for Elizabeth this evening!
Ahhh the joys of Easter. Let’s start with William loving the Easter bunny this year.Then we tried with James, and well, he didn’t love the Easter bunny quite as much.However, it was not long ago that William couldn’t stand the Easter bunny at all. (April 2011)Elizabeth spent most of this weekend cooking up meals for after the new baby and making a wonderful Easter dinner.And while we’re at it, let’s do a quick check on how baby is doing. We have less than six weeks until baby boy #3.

Here are a few more Easter photos from this year and years past. We hope you had a wonderful Easter!

San Diego Trip 2014

March 9, 2014 by Elizabeth 3 Comments

Hi! So if you were expecting a recipe tonight, I’m sorry to disappoint. This post is going to be just a bit different. Our family just got back from a week long trip to San Diego, California, and I am so excited to share some pictures with you!

We left for our trip very early on Monday, February 24th. The boys enjoyed seeing all of the planes at the airport and loved flying. They were such great travelers. William literally sat in his seat the entire time and hardly moved. Andrew and I both decided that he definitely won the “best traveler” award. I guess it’s because he’s had so much practice. He has already been on 35 flights, so that’s probably the reason he knows exactly what to do. James on the other hand, was pretty good as well, but doesn’t have quite as many flights under his belt as William does. It was a wonderful mommy moment to see the kindness and helpfulness that came from William towards his little brother. He was incredibly patient and loving towards James the entire trip, and Andrew and I were so proud of him. We really saw a grown-up side to our little man!

I always think it’s amazing how quickly a week can fly by when you’re on vacation! All of the fun things to see and explore, and the much needed break from the usual routine. Andrew did have a few days of meetings out there (that was part of our reason for the trip), but the days he had to work, the boys and I got to play. The other days that he wasn’t stuck in meetings, we were able to have a lot of fun as a family. We were also able to see some of our family who lives in San Diego, and on our day trip to Los Angeles, we even saw some old friends.

The weather in San Diego was of course warmer than freezing cold Michigan, but most of the time was actually rainy and colder (for San Diego). We still managed to have a blast though! So many adventures, and so much fun. We were all pretty sad when it came time to pack everything up and head back to the tundra (Michigan) again. The boys loved getting back on the airplane, and even earned tons of compliments from fellow passengers for being such great travelers! (That definitely made for some happy parents).

Family, friends, fun adventures, great food, and warmer weather. What fantastic memories! Here are a few of the highlights from our week in California:
