One Year

How the? I really was planning on posting pictures on Eli's birthday, but somehow that didn't quite work. Now I get to jam three weeks of happenings into one post.
So last time, I put up a video clip of James playing on the organ. No, in fact, he does not know how to play "Superstitious". That was a blatant copyright infringement meant for a laugh. We had a fun weekend in Lake City for Waterski Days. Since James and Sammy were there for the weekend, it was a little hectic chasing 4 kids around.




After we got back from Lake City, we celebrated Eli's 1st birthday. For his actual birthday, we had a very low key night and just went to Space Aliens. Then, things started getting busy!
Jennifer's sisters (all 4 of them) and mother came into town for the 4th of July. We had a nice little party for Eli on the 4th, then torched off as many fireworks as we could stand.



Eli decided to start walking, and is now really motoring around.
Once the last of the family left, we got back to work for the week and things seemed to be settling down a little bit. We realized we didn't have anything going on for the coming weekend, so we invited Grandma and Grandpa up. We had a pretty quiet Saturday and didn't go out much because it was horribly windy. Sunday was absolutely beautiful and we spent the day out at Fort Ransom State Park for Sodbuster Days. Alison really enjoyed seeing the horses and sheep, but was feeling a little under the weather.
