Family time!

This week consisted of a variety of things, including a lot of family time!

But first, a few random pictures from the week.....

I bought Eli a pair of new jeans & I think they are adorable:


Eli loves to play with a massager we have that isn't really a toy, but he figured out how to push the button to make it work:


Eli longs to bang on the laptop....here daddy let him have some computer time:


Eli has started to make this cute little face this last week. He scrunches his nose up, squints his eyes, and says "mmmmm":


Eli was a super eater this week.....every day! Yay Eli!


Great-Grandpa Bidney turned 87 this week. We dropped by for a quick visit:


We also brought a yummy Subway dinner to my cousin Emily on Thursday. Here is Eli eating his dinner in Mallory's old high chair:


Cute Mallory eating her dinner:


I got to hold Chloe for the 2nd time. She's as light as a feather (compared to my little man) & can sleep through most anything! Such a precious little girl:


Eli, Mallory, Emily, Chloe & my mom:


Saturday we went out to dinner with Laura & Steve (& Uncle Dean, Emily, Josh, Mallory, Chloe & my mom) who were visiting from Oregon. We hadn't seen them in 2 years so it was good to catch up! Here's Eli with Daddy on the Smokehouse pig:



Eli's daily upside down time at Great-Grandpa Bidney's:


Great-Grandpa has an organ which Eli & Mallory performed many beautiful tunes:





We celebrated Great-Grandpa's birthday belated today with cake & ice cream:


Mallory enjoyed her cupcake immensely:


My cousin Laura, her hubby Steve & Eli (newlyweds!!):


Laura, Eli & me!


In addition, Grandma & Grandpa Clarkson came over to visit and bring fun gifts from their vacation. Eli enjoyed showing off his new skills to them as they hadn't seen him in about a month!

This Friday is Halloween & I am excited! Eli will adorable, of course, in his costume & Eric took half a day to go trick-or-treating with us. We plan to go around the neighborhood & then attend a fun Halloween playdate/birthday party on Saturday. FUN!!! I'll give a little clue about Eli's costum: he'll be breathing fire! :)

Wow! He really does look like such a big boy with his haircut and jeans. I had a little panic it's all moving too fast moment reading the blog. We're back as you know and of course all the work around here did not magically disappear (maybe Eli could come blow some fire and see if that helps). I'm limiting myself to only the essential activities (and blogging of course) because I have to get my bar application sent in. I feel like a real recluse, but as soon as I'm free from my self imposed prison you guys will be some of the first people I call and hopefully the weather will still be nice. Big hugs and kisses for Eli.
