Back from nowhere

I don't know why I haven't kept this thing up the last 6 months...except we've been so busy watching Eli grow and grow. But I am back. With a NEW camera...so there will be much posting from here on in. I guess now as good a time as any to have a resolution...doesn't have to be a "new year"...

So...stay tuned...

And I'm getting this camera bag for my new NIKON D90 that I can't even believe is mine!

Life's Lessons

I hope you...

I hope you learn... to love life
I hope you aren't afraid... to be yourself
I hope you love... giving people a chance
I hope you get... your mom's laugh
I hope you laugh... at your mistakes
I hope you never forget... we all love you
I hope you ignore... mean people
I hope you become... whatever you want to be
I hope you respect... all living things
I hope you grow... old and happy

I stole this from a blog I occasionally read (www.thelilbee.com). These were from note cards filled in by her friends and family to her baby at her shower. Maybe I should add I hope you always...give credit where credit is due.

A Picture Show

Last weekend was chock full of good times. Most notably, Ryan and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary on the same day our good friends Terry and Julie got married. Eli spent the weekend with Nana & Papa. We picked him up and took him to the park...

We also spent some time watching a few of Michael Jackson's old videos. Putting aside the last 10-12 years of his life in favor of the first 35, no one can argue the talent that boy had. Eli was moved to dance...

It's June?

How on EARTH is it June? Seriously. Well, since another month has whizzed past, here's what's new...Eli's vocabulary is EXPLODING!! Not that anyone but Ryan or I understand much of what he's saying, but it's certainly coming. Among this month's favorites are Oliver and Penny (Oli-wah & Pepi), outside (SIIIIIDE!!!), more (mo!), flower, water, pool, swim...he learned those last few on our weekend trip to our dear friends (Michael & Wayne) hom in Palm Springs....

We had an amazing time...
