A Magical Day






After the most snow we've seen in Richmond in 5 years, we had a surprisingly warm weekend with temps in the high 70s! The snow was fun, but we were all glad to see it go. We took full advantage of the warm weather on Saturday. While Brian cleaned out and washed hi car, Mommy and Elliot took a long walk and stopped at the playground along the way. Elliot is a super star on the big slide. He knows just what to do and squeals with delight all the way down. The next time we go I promise to capture his sliding skills on video.

After our time outside, lunch, and naps (for Elliot and Brian); we packed up the car and headed down the road to Williamsburg to see Mimsey and Grandad-Cliff. That night we had a nice dinner and little birthday celebration for Mimsey. Elliot was tuckered out and went to bed without incident. On Sunday morning Elliot and Mimsey went for a long walk while Mommy went for a long run. On Sunday afternoon we all headed up to the Two Rivers Country Club for a pizza lunch and magic show. Elliot LOVED the pasta, pizza, and cookie selection and ate a LOT! He also really seemed to like the magic show, which was quite entertaining. Daddy even got called on to participate.

After a nap (which Elliot took reluctantly) we headed back to Richmond where we discovered daffodils blooming in our front yard. I guess its officially spring.

I thought that picture really captured the joy he took in running up and down the big hill at the country club. He cried and cried when it was time to go.
