Last Sunday, we had a family gathering at Eric's grandparent's house. Elliott had a lot of fun with his third cousin, nine-month-old Jacob. (He mostly enjoyed snatching toys away from a smaller, weaker child.)
We have had a "date night" two months in a row. This date occurred Monday, May 18. We spent an evening with Adam Martin and Coldplay. No sighting of Gwyneth, Apple or Moses.
Today for lunch we went to La Paz, where Elliott ate his weight in black beans. Then we hit an outdoor art festival at The Summit. During a festival rain delay, there was even a moms-only trip to the movies. Happy Mother's Day from the boy with the black-bean beard!
Eric and I went to friends Ryan & Becca's wedding last night. It was a beautiful ceremony, a lively reception, and a great opportunity for Elliott to spend a little quality time with his Mawmaw.
Elliott's favorite room in the new house is the screened porch, which currently only has two folding chairs on it. He just runs around in circles. Sometimes he's quiet about it; usually he yells a lot. And on really special occasions, he carries my socks. --Marilyn
That's a lie. I hate to move. We're up to our eyes in boxes at the new house, but we're slowly getting a handle on it. I'll post some pictures in a while. --Marilyn
We live in Birmingham, Alabama. We have been married since July 22, 2000. Elliott was born March 4, 2008, at 3:41 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs., 10 oz. and was 21.5 inches long. This blog is for all of our family and friends to watch him grow up.
