Three!!!

We celebrated Elliot's third birthday on Saturday with a dinosaur themed party. His friends Conor, Gus and Aiden joined in the fun; as did Mimsey and Mariana. It was a great day. Elliot received lots of cool gifts including an incredibly realistic recycling truck from his godmother and a train table from Mommy and Daddy. I can't believe my baby boy is three.







Cousins!

Cousins, cousins everywhere! Before the summer ended Elliot took two trips to spend time with family and his new baby cousins. First, he and Daddy flew solo to Colorado to spend a week at Grammy and Papa's house in Erie. And Stacey, Uncle Joe and thier new babies, Webb and Adelaide, stayed in Erie too. Elliot's trip was action packed with trips to a farm, train museum, car museum, and down town Boulder. He did a great job on the plane and Daddy didn't have to use too many of the bribes that Mommy had packed in his back pack.

A day after returning home from CO we all hit the road for my cousin's cabin in West Virginia. There we met up with my cousin Fred and his family; Aunt Lindsay, Uncle John, and baby Natalie; and Mimsey and Gramps. We all had a great time hiking, playing in the river, and enjoying time with family. Elliot followed his third cousins Gabriel and Quint everywhere and had a blast playing with all of their toys. Beatrice and Natalie spent most of their time rolling on the floor, staring at each other, and being held. The weather in WV was quite cool, fall is right around the corner!
