Addie Day #1

Elias and I have the joy of spending the next week with Cousin Addie while Aunt Hil and Uncle Wayne are on a trip to Africa. Today was a great day...We played, ate lunch at Emmaus, tried to take afternoon naps...Addie didn't want to so we watched "Charlie Brown Christmas" together instead! And amazingly, Elias and Addie actually played pretty well together (sometimes Elias gets a little frustrated with Addie's "affection"!)

Playing together...it was hard for them to stop to look at the camera!

Concentrating hard on that ring (maybe counting something already!)

I told Hilary that we would try and post some pictures of Addie this week...more pictures to come of the sweet cousins!

What a dresser!!

Just wanted to show you the cool pants that Elias got yesterday. I don't know if he likes them...but Mama sure does!! (Daddy thinks that he looks like a golfer!)

A New Trick

Elias decided this week that it isn't fun to just pull the toys out of the toy box....sometimes you just have to crawl in and get them....

He even sat up while in the box...now he just needs to work on getting out.

Cleaning

We are starting to see glimmers of Elias' parents in him already...for instance, he already likes to play with the broom and drag it all over the house. Whoever this cleaning trait is from, I don't mind!
