Eli's New Bedroom

Tonight Eli's new bunk bed and dresser finally came in! Uncle Shawn and Uncle Casey came over to help Daddy put it all together and move Eli's old furniture into the baby's room. Eli is so excited about his new furniture. He loves climbing up to the top bunk and had a blast arranging all his "babies" on his shelves. I took a little longer tonight for Eli to actually stay in bed at night time, but I think the excitement will eventually wear off. Daddy gave him his flashlight to hold and that seemed to help. It's so nice to see the baby's room furnished, too. It won't be much longer!

Sunday Night at the Coryn's

Sunday nights at our house usually consist of a football game and Legos. Eli loves to play with Legos....and so does Daddy. I think they could both do this for hours.








This is what Eli's bed normally looks like at night. He likes to have all his "babies" in the bed with him. Plus, when I go in to check on him, he usually has added a few toys to the mix. So cute!

It's Going to be a Good Night!

This is one of Eli's favorite songs right now. Love this video....just makes you feel good! I think we've watched it about 10 times now...or more! Enjoy!

In Memory of My Mother

6 years ago today my mother went to be with Jesus. She was an amazing Christian woman and was loved very much. Remembering her always. This song became popular before she passed and I had the chance to play it for her....definitely has special meaning to me. Love you, Mom.

Football Fun for the March of Dimes

Eli was invited to get some professional pictures taken with Cole for the March of Dimes. The MOD has an event coming up in November that focusses on children and what they'd like to be when they grow up. Eli and Cole got to be football players. Cole wore his Purdue jersey and Eli wore his Notre Dame one. They were so cute running up and down the field at Concord High School. It was a chilly morning, but they still had a blast and did really well for the photographer. Thanks Lindsay and Cole for allowing us to be part of this photo shoot! Love that it's for such a great cause, too!

Firestation Field Trip

Last week Eli's preschool class took a field trip to the firestation. Eli loved learning about what the firemen do. He especially loved seeing the firetruck and he even got to sit in one! After seeing the trucks we watched a short video about the job of the fireman. Then, we were served a yummy lunch and got to eat in the firehouse.

It was so much fun getting to meet the kids in Eli's class and see how he related with them. They were so cute! It was such a fun time!

Kercher's Apple Orchard

Today we met Chris, Lindsay and Cole Good at Kercher's Apple Orchard in Goshen. It was very chilly, but we had lots of fun. We got to pick some yummy Red & Yellow Delicious Apples. The boys loved putting apples in their buckets and pulling the wagon around. We then went on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch. After purchasing our items we headed to Hacienda for a delicious lunch. Thank you, Goods, for a nice morning together!

"Feel Better, Cole" Song

One of Eli's best buds, Cole, has been sick. He actually has the H1N1 flu, so we haven't been able to see him in quite awhile. Eli decided to write and sing a song for Cole tonight. I think being in his underwear inspires his musical talent.....Daddy is the same way.

Hope you feel better soon, Cole! We miss you! Enjoy!

Poor Riley....Again

If you remember, back in July Riley tore her ACL (on her left leg). Well, we had an issue again and Riley tore her ACL on her right leg about a week ago. This week Riley went into surgery again. Poor little baby has been through so much! This time it's much more difficult due to her left leg still not being 100%. It's going to be a long recovery, but she's worth it.

Picture Day

Today was Eli's picture day at school. It was a stressful morning due to him sleeping in, then taking a l-o-n-g time to eat breakfast. I then needed to get him ready and do his hair. But, after all that we made it to school on time! And he looked so adorable!...so handsome! I had to take a few pictures myself. Hope the school pictures turned out as cute as these.

Fun Night with the Goods

On Friday night we met the Good family at TGIF for dinner. Yum! We then headed over to the Halloween store to look for costumes. Eli and Cole had such a blast trying on the different hats, glasses, wigs and masks. As you can see, even Chris was enjoying himself!
