8 years!

Today marks 8-years that Nick and I have been together! The picture below is of us out and about the summer of 2002... we look like babies!

A wonderful Father's day weekend!

My parents came to town for the weekend... we had a wonderful time with them, and mini-impromtu get-together with neighbors, and a BBQ with Nick's family on our patio while Eli entertained running around the backyard in the nude! It was a wonderful weekend!

Eli LOVES his Papa Mac!

Loves him so much, that he shares his beloved thumb with Papa!
Come on Papa, it's yummy!

Awww... huggs for Papa!

So cute!

Papa, Nana & Eli

New sand toys from Great-Grandma Mac!

It's a hat, right?

opps!

Mama kisses away owies!

"Owie, Mama."

Later on Sunday afternoon, Dada thought it would be fun to run through the sprinkler!

Eli agreed!

This is fun, Dada!

Happy Father's Day!

To all the wonderful Fathers!

Especially, my own Dad!

...and of course to my wonderful husband and Eli's Dada! You are an amazing Father!

Eli's good friend, Gabe, from across the street turned 3 and had a birthday party at the Roseville Fire Department. Lots of fun!

18-Months!

Our little man is a year and a half! At his 18-Month check up he weighed in at 25 lbs (38th percentile) and measured at 32 inches long (50th percentile).

He loves nothing more than to be outside and play in the backyard...

I love this one. He looks like a dude watering his yard with his belly hanging out and hand on his hip!

Waving at the neighbors!
