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!

Fall Fun

Yesterday we had beautiful fall weather (almost 70 degrees), so Hilary and I decided to take the kids to Eagle Point Park for some pictures. The kids had a great time playing in the leaves, and we even got a few pictures of the two of them both looking at the camera!

Elias and Addie

Always something in his mouth...

"Look what I have Mom!"

Latest Picture...

We haven't been taking too many pictures lately, but we did get this one....

That is right....Mathew Baby #2 is on it's way! Elias will be a big brother the beginning of March (boy is he excited!)

Baby is 22 weeks along and is doing well. "It" was sure moving alot during the ultrasound which was good to see. (We chose not to find out if Elias will have a brother or sister). We are praising God for this gift from Him!

Afternoon with Addie

A few weeks ago, Wayne and Hilary had some appointments in the afternoon, so Addie got to come and play with Elias and I. She and Elias are really starting to play well together (before Elias used to scream everytime she came near!)

Gearing up for the ride...

Having lots of fun.

Make sure we don't run into anything (Addie is a pretty good driver!!)

Two cuties (even when they aren't smiling)
