Pictures...finally!

I finally pulled my camera out and took a few shots of the day. We had a great day today. It was wonderfully cool again. In fact, as you can see in the pictures, Eli had long sleeves on and pants all day. It was cool and overcast and perfect. I am waiting for the pictures to upload to flickr, so I am just going to write everything and I'll post the pictures once they are uploaded.

One thing that is surprising to me (that I don't remember from when I was a kid) is how early it gets light and how late it stays light...tonight it was still a bit light out at 9:45! It starts to get light in the morning at 5:30...it's crazy. Today I was just sure I had slept way in, but when I got out of bed to check the time it was only 7:00! I would have gone back to bed, but Eli saw me, so we just got up. We ate breakfast and got ready for our day.

We headed over to Walmart (again) and bought half the store :) I love grocery shopping...When we came home we had lunch and then we went outside to play for a while. That's what most of the following pictures are from. We had so much fun just walking around and playing. Eli loves Sam (my dad's dog). He was following him around for quite a while. Eli got on the trampoline very briefly, and had grandpa give him a ride on his new lawnmower. (My dad got this new lawnmower...a zero-point turn one...it's amazing. Dad mowed the whole lawn in 30 minutes. I think Edgar needs one...)

After nap time we made dinner, ate, then went for a walk. On our way back we went over to Grandma's house and saw the new baby kittens. They were super cute. Eli LOVED them. I think he would have squeezed the kittens to death if I wouldn't have been there-he just wanted to love on them! I wish I would have had my camera with me, but I'm sure there will be lots of opportunities to get shots of that in the next couple of weeks.

After Eli went to bed I started working on the cookies I'm making for Randee's shower on Sunday. I have a LONG way to go, but got a good start.

Okay...the pictures just finished uploading...here come the pictures :) I don't have photoshop up here, so these are straight out of camera...sorry...you'll just have to enjoy my unedited pictures :)

The above picture is of Eli on the plane...he just looked so peaceful :)

Eli was yelling at dad...I think he wanted a ride :)

Eli playing with Sam :)

I have 6 other photos I have been now trying to upload for the last hour...something is either wrong with the internet or with flickr...but i give up...I will try and post the rest of the pictures tomorrow. It's 11:38...I'm tired.
