Playing Ketchup

I've been falling behind on posting pictures...and I like ketchup--so there's the explanation for the title. My uncle Zane took a few of these -- thanks U Zane!

This is me w/ the super cool book Miranda sent!


Daddy was helping Eli open one of his gifts.


Oh, yeay! More presents!
Elliot's studious look for the tambourine.



Flying!

See, that ended well! :o)

Like father, like son - Elliot

So I caught Elliot playing with the remote control a moment ago -- a pretty big no-no around here. Feeling like I should be playing with him anyway, I just got out a big foam ball to see if he would drop the remote on his own. A second would have to be divided into many parts to define how quickly the remote hit the floor. :o)

Of course part of it was that he'd rather play with something animate (me) than push rubber buttons on a remote, but I see a parallel to daddy here. Jon will switch off almost any sporting event to go actually toss a football, play golf or whatever. I guess if our boys carry on like Eli he'll have eager participants when they are a little older...and I'd better get in shape...or get coordinated...or both, or I'll be stuck home watching football by myself. Ha!

Stump Garden In Honor of Hurricane Ike

So daddy had a great post-Ike idea. He's been collecting stumps for my stump garden. Check it out.
