Januaryisms

I realize that I post rather infrequently.  For that reason, here are a few pictures and videos taken with my phone over the last month.

I love coming home to this boy, he gets so excited.  Too bad he's more interested in looking outside than seeing me on this day.

Eli loves to look out this window, it's right at his level.  Except that he occasionally bites the window sill. The UPS and/or Fed Ex trucks always stop right outside and he likes to watch them.

It has been years since I've had a good Nerf War. Luckily Calin was willing to indulge me.

My first new Nerf guns in probably 15 or so years. My coworkers and I decided that since we work in what used to be the Junior High School building, we can't let the space go to waste, so someday soon we'd like to have a Nerf war.  When that day comes, I'll be ready!

This boy is so dang cute. He has been off the binky since early November, but they have just been sitting on Jess' nightstand, which he can reach easily.  So, every now and then this is what we'd find, one in each hand and one in his mouth hiding a big grin. The binkies have since been relocated.

Believe it or not, this is a happy face. He scrunches his face and breathes in and out through his nose. He's silly.

Eli definitely has a silly side. He loves to laugh at mom and dad when they're dancing around and being silly. He has started to dance lately.

He has also turned into a mooch lately. Here he is eating some of a fruit smoothie I brought home from work.

Our future piano man.

The three of us were able to ride to church together today, which doesn't happen often. Since we did, however, Eli and I had to wait for Jess to finish choir practice.  We made the rounds in the halls, but spent most of our time in the gym. Luckily for us we took home a tuckered out little boy who ate dinner and went straight to bed! (Church is 1:30-4:30pm, choir until 5:30pm)

An hour or so after he went down, I went to check on him and this is what I found.  Silly boy had the blankets completely over his head!

Thanks for taking the time to read our blog.  We're a little sorry that we don't post more often, but we hope that you won't give up on us entirely!

You have a cute little guy! We need to play more - he and Aiden get along so well!!

Yes we do, they were so cute, well mostly Aiden. Hopefully they will have lots of fun when they get a little older.

Thanks for the pic's and video's. This Gma sure appreciates it. He's one cute kid. I think he's more interested in mom and the camera in the piano man. Cute how he keeps looking at it/her.
Gotta give you credit for enduring church during nap time and then even staying till 5:30. Can't imagine what that would be like.
We might still have a few of your nerf guns in your old closet. Bet Darin and Curtis would enjoy the fight too.
Sure love that boy. His parents too.

Mom, he's more interested in the camera in the piano man video because I am actually holding it out in front of us, but the screen is facing us, so that he can see himself. As for the Nerf guns, when I was home I found one in the closet, but otherwise, I think I brought them all out here the summer we drove out.
