Swing time

We got to visit some of Bob's friends this weekend. We haven't seen them for about a year. Their boy is 3 1/2 and they had a great time. He even taught Elise a new way to swing.

 We all had a great time. Thanks to Kerry and Gavin for hosting at their house!

Weekend Fun!

 This weekend we went to visit Bob's parents. Elise loves playing with Aunt Sis!

 Jack and Alex came over on Sunday. I think Elise has a good time with him, but sometimes I think she gives him the 'side eye' because she is not sure what he is doing.

Now, the pictures you are about to see are of Elise being a complete HAM! Grandma made chocolate chip cookies for dessert on Sunday, and Elise had a very good time.

 "Don't even think about taking my cookie."
 "Just kidding!"

 More hamming it up


 You can't help but love that face!


 "Uncle Matt said what??"

County Fair July 2011

As with most of these, they are long over due. We went to the county fair with Aunt Kathy on one of the days that it wasn't 1000 degrees outside. We went earlier in the morning just to check out the animals, and it worked out great. It wasn't too hot or crowded. 

 The goats were very friendly and Elise loved that they interacted with her






It was so hot the week of the fair that they had fan/misters out so people didn't just pass out. She thought it was the coolest thing to be 'playing in the rain.' She just wanted to dance around in the wind and water.

No pictures, but an Update

I have been kind of busy and reoccupied the last couple of weeks because Bob has been working A LOT. Two weeks ago he was home for 2 nights, and last week he was home for 1 night. Since it is just me at home, it can make those days very long. Now, normally he doesn't work quite that much, but he is working on several projects and having to travel a lot. I wish I could be more specific, but there are times I still question what I actually know about my husband's job. The thing I do know is that he works very hard and is good at what he does.

Now, the good news. Last week Bob came home with official paper work for a promotion! I am so proud of him, and he has deserved this for at least a year. It doesn't even come close to making up for the amount of time that he puts in at work, but it is a step in a better direction. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of a 'light at the end of the tunnel' right now. Although, he should be home a little bit more this week, which is great.

I have been wanting to get on and post some pictures, but lately I just haven't had the motivation and most often I just want to veg for a little while after Elise goes to bed. I'm going to try to get some of the pictures that we do have up. I know that I need to catch up a little now because MOPS will be starting soon and the beginning of the year is always very busy.

I am so proud and lucky to have the best father, husband, and friend.
Love you lots!
