Eli had soccer pictures of his team. This was a big process to get all the kids to stay still and smile. We have not received the professional one yet, but here is one that Lindsay Good took. Also, a few pictures from the practice and game.
My dad's sister, Karen, came for a short visit. This was the first time she got to meet Jayce. We went to a nice dinner at Mad Anthony's then headed back to my dad's house. It was a nice little visit and Eli had fun entertaining her.
This year on Valentine's Day Scott took me to go see Avatar in 3-D. It was a movie that I didn't know if I really wanted to see, but I heard that you have to see it in the theater and how good it was. I'm so glad I did....it was awesome! Such a beautiful movie!
Before we left, Eli got out his 3-D glasses and had some fun. He cracked me up asking, "Can I wear these tonight?" and "Do I look good?" I just had to get some pictures! Love that little guy!
On Monday nights Scott plays in a basketball league in Goshen. Eli really enjoys going to the games because he gets to play with his buddy, Cole. The boys enjoy walking back and forth on the bleachers, playing with their cars and even coloring. I enjoy it, too, because I get some time to chat with Cole's mom, Lindsay. Sometimes we realize that we never even watched the game....oops!
Eli got his new soccer shirt at practice last night. His team is called the Retrievers.
Eli did much better with chasing the ball, but he was a little more into entertaining Grandma, Paw Paw, Uncle Shawn and Uncle Casey, who all came to watch him play. His favorite thing is just to run around the court. Hopefully, by the end of the clinic he'll actually enjoy soccer.
Sunday night while watching the Grammys, Eli started his dancing moves when one of his favorite songs was played, "Tonight's Gonna be a Good Night". Glad Scott had his phone close by to get a video. Hilarious! (Pretty sure he got his moves from Daddy)
Welcome to our blog! In 2006 I decided to quit my job as a 3rd grade teacher to become a full time stay-at-home mom. This fall I am heading back to work as a preschool teacher at my son's preschool! I am so excited to be teaching a 4/5 year old class 3 days a week! My husband, Scott, is employed at a local company in Bristol, IN and sells fabric and vinyl to the RV and marine industries. We are proud parents of a 4 year old little boy, Elijah (Eli), and in November 2009 we added another little boy to our family, Jayce. Being a mother is my greatest joy! I've really enjoyed documenting the many things that happen in our lives. Come back often for updates!
