the great outdoors

I promise one day we will be back to "normal" and I will sit down and really catch this blog up. So many things are going on that I want to share, but I guess they will have to wait. Life has been fast paced (but in a good way). Our last week with family & friends here in the good ole south is wrapping up. It's bitter sweet. I want to stay here and continue catching up with everyone, but at the same time I miss our new life in the "midwest"(--side note...who knows why they call it the midwest because honestly I don't think of it as that!--).

This past week we went to the mountains with D's family. It was great to enjoy the outdoors...E-man had a blast for sure! a few pictures we captured...

I think after this trip I have realized (i know i can't believe i am about to say this) i'm ready for Eli to start walking. Carrying him (on an hour hike...in the sling of course) was tiring...a great workout...but tiring. I feel like he is close. Some days i am glad he can't walk.

lake trip

we had such a great day at the lake with family. Eli enjoyed the water (in his baby pool). the sun was shining bright while we tubed, swam, layed out & stuffed our bellies full of all kind of yummy food!

love like crazy

my sister sent me a text today saying "have you heard the country song Crazy? That should be yours and Dan's theme song :-) I love it!" I hadn't really heard the song but looked it up, and well...i have to agree with her (with some modifications like being married 58 years...although i do look forward to that one day :)...and getting rich off microsoft).

do you have a song that somewhat explains your story? I would LOVE to hear about it :)

did i mention?

family came in town a couple weeks ago! it was refreshing to see people from back home :) and i'm not going to lie...it was soooooo nice to have willing hands to take care of the little guy. sometimes i think we all need a break. it was good.

we showed them around our area, spent some time out in the BEAUTIFUL weather & went downtown. little man is definitely fond of his aunts and uncles.

picture overload (in no particular order)

in other news...excited about traveling for the summer. not excited about packing for a month. we have packed for 6 weeks when we went to colorado BUT it was just the two of us. throw a baby & dog in the mix & boy do things get crowded! Anybody have tips for packing? (besides packing light :)).

okay all for now.
