DA BOOK
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Da Momma: Elizabeth, a journalist and college instructor. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a wild-dancing accidentally offensive woman with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. Wants you to think she's a grown-up, even though she calls her Dad the minute things get complicated.
Baby Eden: The Schmoopy. My sweet little Three, who shrank instead of grew. But she's always had Momma's back.
Mary: Devoted to hermit crabs and FREAKING OUT. Made me a mother.
Karenna: Peekaboo Streak. The Roodle, Doodley. Everybody knows about Roo. Passionate about folk music. Some werewolf tendencies. Always looking for new employees. Sophisticated vocabulary
Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. Some days he's lucky he's still alive.
Da Posse: Three friends, six years, eight kids. Because no one can ever see her own stuff. So you gotta get some friends who see yours and tell you about it. And then promptly forget it because they are easily distracted by shiny objects. Oooo. Shiny. The moms aren't in this shot. Nor three of the kids. Just use your freaking imagination.
Moonbeam and Sunbeam: Yes, okay, somehow or other they got the same sorta names as our cats, Moonlight and Sunshine. That was a total accident. However, like the cats, they are super-cuddly, will get food for themselves if hungry, and they're part of the family. Like the rest of the family, they believe in the power of liquor, drugs, and hot glue. They have no fear of blood.
The Beasties: Two cats. And some cacti that refuse to die. This is a picture of a fish we killed a long time ago. Need to update that.
too cute : )
i’m the third daughter of four sisters. we are 33, 30, 28, and 25.
i can totally relate E. and i’m having home video flashbacks.
How awesome. The power of sisters – put them together and they’ll be unstoppable.

Mary sounds so grown up!
Priceless. I need to get the video camera out more often.

How wonderful is this!! Look at Mary carrying little Eden… love it!
My older girl is the only one that can get a real belly laugh out of our baby, and I’ve been trying to get it on video for weeks now. Must keep trying.
Oh wow! Its so cool to see the girls! We get photos all the time but video is soooo different. You’ll have to keep posting videos now too!
Mare is becoming quite the little woman! I remember when she was 4 (and she still is in my mind).
Beautiful girls!
Oh my – TWO Echoes?!
They are SO precious, Liz! Looking at Eden, I miss the kicky-baby phase. And LOVE that Ren is in a princess dress – of course!
PRICELESS. Mare is so grown-up!
Adorable. Love them all!
Adorable video. And love the hat. Kyoot!
THAT, made my day! Thank you.
My 9 year old step-son says, “Ok, so.” the exact same way. Made me smile to hear Mary say it.
What a beautiful sight and sound. Mary is SO big! Ren is awesome, gettin’ down in her princess gown to make precious Eden happy.
Made my day to see this. Thank you for sharing your sweet family with us!
So precious!!
