just Ely

Who could say no to that?

Got to use that tongue!

Got to brush my teeth. NO wait, I mean gums.

What? Me?

Dakota & Kelsey

Dakota and Kelsey played tennis with their school. Dakota didn't want to serve so she would

just keep handing the ball to Kelsey.

Game over.

Keagan

This is Keagan,
Ely's cousin, who is 5 months older.

Just playin' around in Papa's jumper.

2 Whole months

I can't believe that Ely is already 2 months old. He got his first shots last monday, boy was he upset about that. And still is. He is starting to grab at things. It is quite funny, he will stare at the object and be moving his hand off to the side like he is trying to touch it. It takes a little bit, but his hand does make it over to touch it.

Jeremy got some good pictures with his "little buddy".

Not too sure if we like him yet. Yea, right!!!!

Away from Ely

Jeremy has had to go back out of town these couple of weeks. But only for the week and home for the weekend. That was hard on Jeremy and Ely. Ely would start to fuss around 6pm, that is the time that Jeremy would be home from work and pick him up. Got to love cell phones, sent a video or picture every day. I had my first day back at work, it was only for 5 hours. It was the hardest thing to get out the door. And it was great to get back and see my family.

First 4 wheeler trip

Jeremy, Brad, Susan and I took Ely on his first 4wheeler ride. It was a little windy but loads of sunshine. We went out to the Owhyee mountains. There was even so snow left on the tops of the mountains, Feb 21. Ely enjoyed the ride. When we had stopped to talk, Ely would wake up and start to fuss. So we would start going again, we hadn't even rolled an inch when Ely would stop fussing.

Susan wants to learn how to shoot. So Jeremy is teaching her some basics. She hit her target.

2 Cute

Ely at 4 weeks.

Our new little family

We are having a great time with Ely. I'm stepping down at work. What to spend as much time with Ely that I can. I spend most of my day just watching him. Jeremy gets home and I can't get him to put him down. Although Jeremy does sleep through the late night feedings. Jeremy will start making some grunting nosies in his sleep when Ely is fusing. It is funny, like they have a special code. It is a wonderful thing. Children are a gift.
