Skating Lessons

So fun to watch Eli skating. He has come so far since he started lessons in the fall of '12. 

(Eli is below on the left in the white helmet and gray coat.)

Spring Break Fun Day #1

Eli and I went to the Science Museum today. As always, so much to explore. I loved watching him run around exploring and just being a curious little guy. I was pretty exhausted after being there for 3-hours, but Eli could have stayed all day! 

The house above Eli's head in this photo is located in Irvine Park in St. Paul and was built by on of Eli's (and Nick's) ancestors, Michael Murray. It was in their family for many years and is a St. Paul landmark.

Funny Face Family

Nick and Eli were at a hockey game Saturday night and started sending me funny face pictures... 

Then I realized I was leaving someone out...

Nick said Eli loved this one, of course.

Eli's Job List

This morning, while I was making Eli's lunch, he asked me what jobs he could do to make some money (for new toys). Then (with a little help) he made himself a list.

36-weeks

36-weeks! The edema is kicking in. My doctor explained it to me that edema is a side effect of our body preparing for the birth. Because you loose so much blood delivering a baby, your body prepares itself by increasing the blood supply. Thus, swelling! It's kind of a beautiful thing. So I am enjoying my fat fingers, toes, and face... It will be all over before we know it. 

Eli says: I'm going to run away

Eli just asked me if I ever ran away when I was a kid. I told him no. Then he said, "I'm going to run away. I need a bah-cation."

Belly button problems...

A recent discussion with my sis' re: my belly button. (Pregnant lady problems).
