Playing with my 'new' camera, and eatin' pizza with friends

Yesterday Eli and I headed to the park so he could play, and I could mess with my camera. I took several pictures...none that I loved, but I thought I'd put a couple up, because who wants to read a blog entry that doesn't have pictures?! None of these have been edited...too lazy tonight :)

Our friend that is letting us borrow the camera suggested we start by trying to use the camera in 'aperture priority', so that is what I was messing with. I didn't realize the sun was messing up the pictures so much...I thought the one above was kinda cool looking...but totally unintentional :)

Eli really enjoyed the park. He LOVES the slide! I would put him half-way up, and he would slide down-I didn't even hold him! He loved it. We went on the swings too, but they didn't have a 'kiddie swing' so he just sat on my lap. He still had fun.

He is so close to standing on his own!

Now we just gotta work on him getting to a standing position on his own :)
Today has been a fairly busy day. I taught my class while Eli hissed at kitties, came home, got lunch, and spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the house. At 4:30 we went over to our friend's house for dinner. I don't know if you remember me asking you to pray for our friend Trish who was having surgery. That's who we went to see. She's doing GREAT! It was so nice to spend the evening with them, as well as Krista, Eliott & Katie. We just got home a little after 9-Eli was still awake...maybe that means he'll sleep in tomorrow...probably not...The good news is, my house is REALLY clean :)
