Busy Weekend!

Eli was a pretty popular little guy this weekend! On Saturday, we headed out to celebrate his buddy Ramir's first birthday. These two little guys are only a few weeks apart in age and are sure to be great friends in the future. Eli had a great time partying it up!






Then...



Now....



Oh my goodness, these picture make me want to laugh and cry! Where has the time gone! (Oh, and it has been decided that Eli is most definitely larger than Ramir these days!)



Eli also got to swing for the first time while we were at the party...pretty obvious...he LOVED it!





Sunday was quite packed with events as well. Our day began with church and a little guy that decided to wake up a lot earlier than his normal time. This lead to him getting pretty whiny before we left and crashing in the car for the last bit of our short drive. I wasn't sure how he would do in the nursery, since he was a little more tired than usual during his typical nap time. Thankfully, he managed to make it through the entire service in the nursery without a major melt-down...and I was able to hear the whole sermon. It was awesome! Hopefully, he's getting back into the habit of being in the nursery after our summer of crazy travel.

After church, we went home to eat a quick lunch and then headed back out on the road to visit Mark's Grandmother in Petersburg. Mark's parents and sister were also able to make it out to visit with us as well. Like I said, Eli is a pretty popular little guy! He had a great time showing-off for everyone and completely crashed in the car on the way home.





We were all pretty exhausted by Sunday evening, but it was so worth it. Can't wait to see what fun the next weekend will bring!
