Favorite Packers Fan

It was a rough weekend here because Eli has been sick. Poor little boy has been coughing, congested, had fevers, and has even gotten sick a few times. Seems like he just got over a cold. Don't think the weird weather changes help either. Plus, he's teething again...don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Well, Scott got to go to the Packers vs. Seahawks game this weekend. He went with his friend, Nate, who is a BIG Packers fan. We, of course, are Bears and Colts fans, but Scott was still excited to get to go. Mommy and Eli spent some time with Grandpa and Grandma Joey. They left for a 5 week trip to Florida on Saturday. Lucky! We will miss them!

On Saturday we stayed in. Eli really wasn't feeling well, so Grandma came over to help me for a little bit. She held Eli as he slept.....precious. Saturday night was really rough. Eli struggled going to sleep. He was coughing a lot. Mommy had Eli in bed with her for awhile, then finally was able to get him to sleep in his own bed around midnight.

Today Eli seems to be a little better. He took a good nap and hasn't been coughing as much. Scott is home now to help, too. Eli is happy to have his Daddy home, as is Mommy.

Happy Holidays!

Sorry it's been so long since we've posted. We've been so busy with family and friends over the holidays.


We had such a wonderful Christmas! On Christmas morning Eli actually slept in. Daddy and I finished wrapping gifts and put together Eli's Christmas gifts so he could play with them when he woke up. He loved playing with his new toys! We then got ready and went to Grandma and Paw Paw's for lunch and presents. Grandma made a huge meal for everyone, and then we headed to the living room to open the gifts. Eli had a blast opening the gifts and playing with the toys. He sure got spoiled!

The next day we had Christmas with Mommy's family. We headed over the Grandpa and Grandma Joey's house for lunch and gifts. We had another yummy meal and Eli played with his cousins. Eli even got to meet his new cousin, Marcel, for the first time. We then headed to the basement to open all the gifts. Grandma Joey has been working the past year and a half on a quilt for Mommy and Daddy which turned out beautiful. She's so talented. She then surprised us with a quilt she made for Eli, too. Eli again got spoiled with gifts!

We had such a wonderful holiday! It was fun watching Eli enjoy the holiday this year since last year he was too young.

Our New Year this year was low key. Uncle Casey came over and watched Eli so Daddy and Mommy could go out to a nice dinner. We then came home and spent the evening relaxing. Eli was in bed by 9:00, and Mommy and Daddy rang in the new year watching all the snow fall.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!
