Wow

One month has already gone by and actually another week! Crazy. I tried to post a couple of days ago, but ran into some computer problems and haven't had a chance to do it again. Too bad last time I was going to put up some pictures, but this time I am not! Again - computer problems. (UPDATE - blogger saved my old post, but only 2 of the pics - read below!)

I am excited for tomorrow - we are going to celebrate the arrival of Elijah with friends and family. Many of the extended family has not had a chance to come meet the little guy and we wanted to celebrate him. We appreciate Hollie volunteering to get this together - we love you! And can't wait for you and B to meet Eli!

We've had a busy first month with Eli. Robert's mom was here for the first week. Robert then took a second week off and worked a lot on the play-set that he's put together. (He finally finished last week - well the climbing wall needs to be added, but that is going to wait a bit.) We had our first family picture session at the end of the second week. We've run some errands and gone out some. One of the most recent trips was a visit to the aquarium. That was really fun. And we decided to get a season pass, so we can go back as much as we want for a year. That way if the kids get fussy, we can leave and not feel bad!

We have some upcoming travel plans. Eli will have his first visit to the beach - we are going with a friend of mine from work to the beach for a weekend. It will be fast, but a visit to the sand is always nice. We will then also take Eli's first plane ride to visit Robert's mom. It will be a crazy couple of months as my time at home with the kids passes. Makenna has already been to the beach and on a plane once, but it will be interesting as she is SO much more active now.

I need to get some things done before tomorrow and I'm sure Eli needs to eat again soon. Oh - to which I may add - we think he is close to 12 pounds. He is HUGE. I imagine at some point he will surpass Makenna - poor thing just can't put on any pounds! Hopefully it will be a while as she is about 21-22, but still.

I am going to do the month pictures with Eli - I ordered stickers this time so that I didn't have to worry about paper in the mouth. I just need to get the picture done and our technology working so that pictures can post!

Good night!
