What a lovely Saturday,
preceded by a somewhat less lovely Friday night/Saturday early morning. Thing is, Eli's forgotten how to sleep. So
nobody's sleeping much around here. At least not at night. During his morning nap this morning, I slept, and now Eric's snoozing through his afternoon nap. So, I blog. We've been lazing in between all the napping and once my boys wake up we're going to have a lovely dinner at Sweet
Tomatoes (the best salad joint ever) , followed by a trip to the bookstore to read books on baby sleep, and an evening jaunt to the park. Sounds nice, no?
So, we've had much fun lately. Here's photographic evidence:
First...meet Farmer Eli! We had the grand idea to head over to our friends' the
Vineyards' farm yesterday. They needed their lawnmower back and we needed a fun outing. So, I loaded up their mower and headed over to the farm. I wasn't sure how Eli would react to critters bigger than our cats. Well, he LOVED it! He cackled with laughter and jumped right in head and hands first. We met a farm dog, three sheep, 6 pigs (including the biggest one I've ever seen,
Sapphire), and four horses. We even went in the corral with the four very friendly horses, and proceeded to be surrounded. Eli wasn't phased (I was a bit). Unfortunately the camera battery died about three minutes into our visit. The photos I got came from the phone, so they're not great. And I so wish I could have gotten a video of Eli's
guffawing. We'll definitely make a return trip and make sure our camera is fully charged.
And now, another selection of hat photos. I cannot resist a hat photo op.
Ello Govneh.
Yee Haw.
Ole!
And, some random fun:
Sweet new curls.
Yay! Spoons!
Whoa. Spoons.
My sweet happy fellas.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ok...well, his first aware snow.
"Mornin' mama. Why do I have these orange pants on? Oh well, I'm just gonna snuggle my lion a while."
"It is way too early for this."
"This cold stuff tastes good."
"It's everywhere!"
Eli's 1st snow angel.
Getting artsy. This spider web was incredible.
It was like a jeweled chandelier.
So pretty.
"Uh, what's up with the hat Ma?"
"Yeah, but I'm rockin' it."
Eli is now a front-facing rider. He loves it! You go big boy!
I came out onto the porch to find a passel of deer walking by. Look at the top left corner of the photo to see them all.
And now, the fabulous hat Christa knitted for Eli. Think The Golden Compass.
So cute!
It's so cute I keep it on him pretty much constantly.
Afternoon snack at the kiddo table.
***And an edit from Eric...don't I have a lovely wife and handsome son?***
