Three weeks and he's already rolling over!  
Seriously so advanced!

Costco on Saturday?

It's common knowledge that Saturday afternoon at Costco is the supreme collection of human idocity and the leading cause of sudden onset insanity!  But even with that knowledge, I managed to end up at Costco at 2:00 on a Saturday.  Thankfully, Eli and I went with Grandpa, who helped wrangle the cart as we wound our way through the masses.  Eli had a rough night last night - sleeping for 30 minutes at a time until he finally passed out from exhaustion at 5am - which meant mom had a rough night.   I didn't, however, want to miss out on an adventure for the day, so Costco seemed like a good idea.  Eli's threats of falling apart made our shopping trip short, which helped us survive the afternoon of mayhem.  He also helped by getting us so much attention - "Oh, look at that cute little guy!"  "What a cute baby!" and even "What aisle do they sell those?"  Good times!

A Week of Firsts

It's been a busy week for us - we're trying to get out and have an "adventure" each day.  Monday we had Heather, Meghan, Mack visiting and hanging out with cousins was a great adventure.  Tuesday we went out to lunch with them as well.  Mom learned that it really does take 45 minutes to get ready for a 5 minute drive and 1/2 hour lunch.  Tuesday it was a walk at the mall.  That was really an adventure - but very much worth it!  Thursday we went to Target (one of our favorite adventures) and tried not to get blown away.  Friday, well, today we decided to take it easy.  We've got some visitors coming and maybe later we'll go out for a little bit.  It's amazing how much a little "adventure" time is saving mom's sanity!  I'm so grateful he's mellow enough to let me do it.  Thanks, Eli!

A Visit with Grandpa O.


Great Grandpa Osborne came for a visit last week.  
He came up from Hurricane to trade out some rocking chairs for us and, most importantly, see his newest great-grandson.  They almost shared a birthday, but Grandpa says that one day late is still pretty close.  What an amazing thing to have a great-grandpa!
