Getting Dirty

Elijah loves being outside. He enjoys playing at the park (any park). His legs and arms kick with excitement as soon as he has the park and all the kids playing in his view. He is extremely social smiling at everyone and getting very excited to see people. He seems to like playing in the dirt and often finds either a small twig or leaf to hold and bring around with him as he crawls all over the park. He is getting more comfortable using the toys to walk around with, and he absolutely LOVES it when a flock of birds fly overhead. When he sees the birds flying he raises his arms up in the air as if the birds have just flown from the heavens. Here are some photos of Elijah having fun at some of the parks around town...

Elijah and Dad's duet

trip to Dallas (08-01-08)

We visited Dallas, Texas where Aunt Kelli (Ashly's younger sister) lives. She is due to have a baby with her husband Nathan in mid September. We had a great time visiting family and celebrating Baby Hale. Elijah loved wearing his cowboy hat. It was almost funny how much he enjoys wearing it.

Mexico

2 weeks ago we took a trip to Tulum, Mexico to celebrate the Double wedding of our good friends Steve/Jenny & Jay/Paola. It was an amazing adventure with great friends all around. We even had Adam's parents (bubbe and zayde) there to help look over the 2 grand kids while we joined the wedding festivities.
