Sicky on Thanksgiving

Well i am sad to report that we have no good Thanksgiving puctures of Elijah as he got sick :(

After we picked up Aaron and Katie from the airport we litterally got their bags in the house and realized Elijah was not feeling well ans had a 101.5 temperture. He had his 18 month check up last friday and along with it 5 shots. They said he could get a fever in about 5 days, so naturally we assumed that was the cause of the fever. After litterally an Up All Night with Elijah last night, we took him in to the 24 urgent care clinic. We spent 2 hours in there waiting and waiting and finally we got a diagnosis of a double ear infection. Poor Guy! He is getting better with only the inital dose of amoxicilin and ibuprophin, but still not 100%. All tgis to say this is the best and pretty much only (pathetic) picture we have gotten of him in two days. Hopefully tomorrow will bring brighter and happier pictures!

Happy Thanksgiving

Good morning, and happy Thanksgiving.  Here are just a few pictures from our trip to my mom's so far.

We are having a great time and Elijah even got a big surprise yesterday when he got up from his nap.  A new tent complete with a tunnel and balls to play with. He seems to be having a great time playing with it, among the other toys that we are getting to borrow from a friend of my moms.
More pictures to come, hopefully tonight with pictures from today, the dinner, and the fatted aftermath.

Here is a little video and just a TOUCH on what Elijah is "talking" about and how he is "interacting" these days.  Enjoy!

Fun in the Sun

Balloons! (Elijah- 18 months)

This past Saturday we went to a friend of ours' house for their son's first birthday.  Elijah was one of about 10 kids all around his age there.  He had a great time, although it was slightly exhausting for me being pregnant and there without Aaron.  We did have a good time though.  I managed to capture some really great shots of Elijah and felt they definitely warranted sharing. (Gram these should print beautifully for you!). I hope you enjoy them!

 P.S. I am trying to figure out how to capture video on this new camera. Sorry you haven't had any videos in a while!

Tick Or Treat!

Cousinly love (Elijah & Lizzy)

Well, it's a little past Halloween, but not too much so to be really late on a post.  Last Saturday, Kaitlin (Aaron's brother's wife) and I went down town to a Trick or Treat walk that the First street merchants put on for all the kids in town.  We had a blast making it half way up the street before we were all worn out and turned around and went home.
Kaitlin posted some of these pictures of Elijah and Elizabeth (Kaitlin and Paul's daughter) on Facebook and one person commented "Looks like a real 'dog and pony' show" to which I replied "hilarious! I didn't even think about it that way!" but it's true- we had a dog and pony show all our own.  Here are some pictures from Satruday as well as from Halloween (we went to 3 houses and then home to hand out candy at my dad's house).
Enjoy!

Really mom? I have to do this? (The pony & the poodle)

YAY! Candy!

Halloween Night- Trick or Treating with Grandma Bridget & Aunt Katie

Trick or Treat!

Rio Vista Train Museum and Pumpkin Fesitval

A couple weekends ago Katie suggested we take a trip out to the Rio Vista train museum to ride a train and go out to a "pumpkin patch".  I say "pumpkin patch" because when we got there, there was no pumpkin patch in sight.  BUT it was a small draw back to a fun day!
We got to the train museum right when it opened.  Of course they had a Thomas the train, table and trains for the kiddos to play with, so we burned a half hour watching Elijah play. He now LOVES "Choo Choo's".  We then got on a restored, probably 1940's train and took it about 3 miles down to the pumpkin festival.
Elijah got to run in a hay maze, look at ponies (because I wouldn't pay $6 to find out if he would actually ride it or not) and pet farm animals in a petting zoo.  The best (or maybe worst) was a little basket of bunnies. I picked on up for Elijah to pet, which he did, then proceed to reach in to the basket and pick one up himself....by the ears!  This other mom watched it happened and after I plucked the bunny away from him and gently set it back in the basket, the other mom lightly stroked it, like my kid had done it harm. oh well. it was kind of funny (and no bunnies were hurt in this episode).
Here are some great pictures from our day. Thanks Katie for taking us to the trains!
