Our Trip and Day 1

I'm sure you all have been just 'itching' to know what's been going on :)

Eli and I made it to my parent's house yesterday. We had a great flight. Edgar helped Eli and I to the gate at the airport, but I had to get all the 'stuff' to the seat, and get his car seat strapped in. It actually wasn't too bad...but I was sweating by the time I finally sat down :) Eli was SO good on the flight. He slept for about an hour of it, read some books, ate a snack, watched a video, and we played with puppets. It was really quite an easy flight. We got off the plane (with the car seat, a rolling carry-on, backpack, my purse...and Eli...) and headed towards baggage claim. We got off the elevators and saw my mom right away, got to the baggage carousel and saw my suitcases right away, and met my dad at the curb. We landed at 4:30, and were on the road at 5-we did pretty good :)

It was wonderfully cool when we arrived-I could get used to this...We got home at 8 and my sister & brother-in-law came over, then grandpa & grandma came over. I think Eli was a little overwhelmed by everything-he wouldn't let go of me...except when my dad showed him the train he could play with...he didn't get to bed until almost 9:30, and fell asleep right away.

Today has been pretty low-key. Eli didn't get up until a little after 8, we got dressed and ready, and headed to Walmart. That was about the most activity we had for the day...Eli got his hair cut...we went to great-grandpa & grandma's house...we went swimming...not too much to report. Believe it or not I haven't actually gotten my camera out yet...Lazy I suppose. I need to get it out tomorrow and take some pictures of Eli with my dad's dog. The dog licks Eli right in the face and Eli thinks it's SO funny. He sees the dog and immediately says 'rough-rough'. He's so cute.

Funny moment of the day...I was sitting with Eli right after his nap and said 'Eli, you need to go get your hair cut', and he immediately said 'Ooooooh, Nnnnoooo!' It was so funny. Especially funny, since he's never said that phrase before. My mom, sister and I laughed so hard, he got embarrassed. Very funny.

Alright...off to bed. I'll have pictures tomorrow :)
