A lot

of doing this weekend and a lot of pictures to show for it!!

Our weekend started with really only one thing planned and we managed to stay very busy. Saturday morning, I took the boys to the Y and Tim went on a bike ride. Later that day, we headed to our friends Brad & Tia's house (daughter Maya) for a pig pickin'. It was great to see all of them again - has been entirely too long - and hang out outside by the fire listening to the Kudzu Ramblers. Eli had a ton of fun running around playing on Maya's swingset and riding her bikes. Maya was such a great mini-hostess sharing all her toys.

Sunday morning, it was Eli's big adventure to see Cranky Crane. My jobsite was erecting a tower crane this weekend so we piled in the car to go see it. Eli was so excited and kept telling everyone "Look, it's Cranky Crane" a million times. It's a good thing Eli was there because I'm not sure anyone would have noticed a 200' tall crane! =) He had such a great time walking around in his orange Bob the Builder vest and hard hat. He fit in with the guys so well. He talked about it all day.

Other than those big things, we filled our time with naps (the kids not us), errands (grocery store), house chores (laundry) and trying to keep wild man Eli occupied (without tv). All in all it was a fun and tiring weekend. Funny how you can have 2 days off work and still not get enough rest!!

Baby Cole enjoyed being outside

What is this?!

Out of my desperation Sunday morning, we tried rice cereal with Cole. He hasn't been eating much of his bottles and I was worried / freaked out thinking he isn't getting enough to eat. The doctor told me that Cole wouldn't let himself starve but I thought maybe he would rather have something to eat instead of drink. I was wrong. He didn't like it too much.
