Life Lately

I often lay in bed after a long day and wonder what I did to teach Eli, to better myself, to explore the island, and to record life with pictures.  Sometimes I feel I am just surviving and going through the motions without really soaking in life.  But when I took take a second to snap a picture I see how sweet and simple life really can be.

Gardening with Grandma

Eli can't stay inside all day, even if its rainy.  He heads out the front door and plays on the porch any moment he can get.  What a busy boy.  On the rare sunny days, he's soakin' it in, playing with Grandma Patty.  

Whew!  What a day!

Birthday Present from Grandpa

My dad sent a gift up to Alaska for Eli's birthday.  Eli had a blast opening it and instantly knew what to do ;)

He immediately found the buttons for the sirens and horns.  They have pretty much been going non stop since it arrived 

Day At The Park

Yes I've been slacking on the blog, I just haven't been in the mood to take many pictures, but I will try!

Eli and I go to the park as often as the weather allows.  He thinks he's such a big kid climbing up the steps and cruising around.  Notice the jacket and cap in July! 

Time Flies

I feel like 2013 has zoomed by! I was just wandering through old blog posts looking at my sweet newborn a year ago. Wow. I can't believe how different he is, but in such a great way.
