Under the Table and Dreaming

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.)

Elliott's "man cave"

Oh, Hello.

Viva la Vida

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.

Sporty Saturday

Eric and Elliott love that basketball.

Let's hope Elliott doesn't inherit Mommy's athletic ability.

Happy Birthday, Breanna!

Mother's Day on the town

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!



Adults behaving badly

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.

Screened-in Playground

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

Transformation

Nanny gave Elliott his first haircut today. Before: Wild Banshee. After: Sweet Little Man.

I like to move it, move it

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
