Wii!

Reading is also fun.

Hmm. Maybe this guy is OK after all.

Ice cream is definitely one of the best things.

We went to Gettysburg today. He saw some folks he knew.

They had a really huge bear. We did not take this one home.

We went to a pool party at some friends' house. He really liked the water.


He also liked driving in the water.

The boy loves some chips and salsa.

Vacation

We took Elijah on his second plane trip last week. He liked watching the planes fly.

Later, his great-grandmother made banana pudding, and gave him the beaters.


She has the best toys.

He went lots of places and did lots of things, like riding a horse,

riding a swing,

and eating cheese.

All this stuff is very tiring, of course.

He even found an old camera to play with.

And a grandmother to sleep on.

He and his cousin had a chance to watch Elmo.

Then we found out that he'll have another cousin soon, so that was fun. His cousin even got some practice pushing him around in the stroller. This will help once the new baby arrives.

Playing basketball is fun.

His aunt and uncle will be moving here, which hardly seems fair.

Lots of exploring this trip.

Grandpas are also fun to sleep on.

After that, the little guy stole my ice cream.

Swings are so much fun.

Slides are also fun.

See you all soon!

Elijah's had fun since the last update, it just took a while to get the pictures together.
He played outside a bit.

He also played at the library's Storyville.

Then he played at Chik-Fil-A

We took him to a petting zoo.

We saw goats, llamas, ducks, rabbits, and a big ox.




We're trying to teach him to use a spoon. The results are very messy at best.

More playtime:

Now the required picture of him sleeping.

Easter Sunday

Time for Easter service, so we dressed up.




After that, we went to have lunch. He played Checkers after eating.

Easter Egg Hunting

Time for the hunting of plastic eggs. Elijah has his own bucket and everything.

There were lots to find, of course.

He was very ready to go.

As an aside, is it too early for piano lessons? He keeps wanting to go up there.

Before he hunted eggs, he (his mom, actually) made a little cross with jelly beans on it.


Then it was time to play some games.

Then we played a game with this huge parachute thing.

He had more fun running around under it, though.

Upstairs for a quick drink,

Then outside to look for eggs.



Find the egg.

Get the egg in the bucket.

Ooh, lots of eggs!

Then lunch after that.

Lunch time is always a good time.

OK, all this is enough to really tire a kid out.
