Every year we get together with two of my good friends from high school. It is nearly twenty years now (yikes) since we graduated, but it is always so good to see them and catch up with their families.
Eli loved hanging with the big kids: Colleen, Harley, Bryan, and Jada.
It was so strange to transition from Chris and I both being home with Eli for over a week to both of us being gone all day long after New Years. I'm working extra hours to hang a new history exhibit at the museum. I am really fortunate to be able to only work part time normally because these longer hours are killer. You'd know why if you saw the size of my belly at this point. I am now officially doing more waddling than walking.Eli is doing his own preparations for the arrival of "baby brother."
We think it was these changes in Eli's schedule that made him try to abandon napping over the weekend. After a VERY long afternoon on Saturday, we were determined that a nap would be had on Sunday. Our first attempt failed, so we bundled up and braved the 25 degree weather (not counting the wind chill) and went for a walk along the river. For the record, my mother was appalled that we'd take Eli out in such conditions, but he did better than we did and the best part was it worked - nice long nap!
Don't forget to log your vote on our baby name poll below....Ezra is leading the pack at the moment with Silas coming in at second. The voting will end on Monday!
