Celebrating 6 years of Marriage!

I love you more than words can wield the matter, 

Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,

Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,

No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor,

As much as child e'er loved or father found—

A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.

Beyond all manner of so much I love you.

Take Your Kid to Work Day

Every day when I go off to work, Eli tells me he wants to go to "Wicko-Wab" (a.k.a. Ecolab), too.Well, last Friday was Take your Child to Work Day at Ecolab... so I decided to take Eli in.

A morning snuggle with Daddy before his big day at work!

He got right in there and got right to work!

"Please hold."

My boss was out, so Eli decided to work on his behalf...

He doesn't have alot of experience, but he has a strong work ethic...

Mama, I am very busy.

Do we have the August Sales reports ready?

Working away at his first PowerPoint for his first meeting...

Eli's first meeting with my co-worker, Nitesh's son, Arjun.

"I really think we should have cupcakes served at our monthly meetings."

I have a bird in my mouth!

This morning as we were getting ready for the day, we were being silly while Eli was getting dressed he got the hiccups from giggling. He paused as they started up and with a look of disgust said, "I have a bird in my mouth!" I said, "You have a bird in your mouth?! Let Mama see." I looked in his mouth and assured him there wasn't a bird in his mouth. Convinced that there really was a bird in his mouth, Eli said, "I go to the dcotor. The doctor will fix it."

The Late Show, with Eli Sundsmo!

Daddy's out tonight, so Eli decided to stay up late to keep me company! What a guy!

Vrooommm.... Vrrrooommmmm...

We got this adorable little race care from a co-worker of Nick's when we were preganant with Eli. We finally got it out for him to play with.
