Whew...how does it always happen? The weekends go by in a blur. We had a good one here and hope you did too!
Evia's Mom came into town Friday afternoon and spent the night, giving her some time with Eli and giving Tim and I a little break. We were able to go out to dinner and just hang out a bit Friday night. Saturday morning Eli and I had AquaMoms and we were glad to have Grandma join us. After hanging at home for a bit doing chores, Tim and I went to see 'Fool's Gold'. It was pretty good and was a very nice break from everything. Once we got home, it was time to give Eli a test ride in his new bike trailer. After reading some stuff about shaking babies up in the trailers, we've decided to wait a bit longer before going to Umstead but we are going to cruise the neighborhood with him and do paved greenways. Saturday night we just hung around home and that was nice.
Today was picture day - we had Eli's 6 month photos taken. And he was such a cute ham for the camera!! We had no trouble picking out tons of pictures to purchase - get ready Grandparents, they'll be here in less than two weeks. After photos, we went to REI to look at backpack hikers. We have one from Tim's brother & sister-in-law but it doesn't fit us well and we've been having trouble adjusting it so we decided to use part of our dividend to get another one. The sales guy told us it was the 4th one of that style he had sold today - and we were there at 1:30pm!! Guess everyone was waiting on their dividends to go shopping. This afternoon Eli and I went on a 5 mile walk while Tim went for a bike ride. Then dinner, bath, now Eli's in bed.....and Mom & Dad are probably not too far behind. Got to re-set and get ready for tomorrow.
So, now you know why I ask where the weekend went. We had so much fun and are very thankful to my Mom for coming to visit. Looking forward to next weekend when we set clocks forward - woo hoo, bring on the daylight! Here's wishing you a wonderful week ahead. :-)

It looks like you all have been keeping busy. We can't wait to get together with you again soon. The weather has been so nice we would love to go walking or the park with you sometime.

It was so much fun hanging out with Eli and Tim and Evia too.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed spoiling Eli and also napping with him.
Love Grandma
