Hot, Holy weather

It has been so unusually hot here the last few days. Seriously- hot- not complaining- just hot. We hit the beach and had a great time with friends and family. I still can't get over how last year Elliott hated the sand and now as soon as we get to the beach he runs right through it for the water. I think that summer's with little ones are so fun.

Waiting for Dad

Elliott has been cracking me up lately. He has the funniest things to say. Every day when we know Craig is on the way home we go out back and wait for him- Elliott decided that this is how he will now wait for Craig ---in the middle of the driveway.

Happy Father's Day

A day that should have been for him was spent taking care of me and Elliott so- a small ode to the best dad and husband ever.

Every day is devoted to Elliott and I. I rarely find him taking time for himself- completely unselfish. He takes such good care of us- in every way- to name all the ways could take forever. He can wrestle for any given amount of time and keeps up with Elliott on the days when I just can't- somehow he just knows those days without being told. His patience for those around him astounds me. He never has a mean thing to say about others. He makes me feel like I can do no wrong (believe me- I can) and that I am perfect despite everything (scares and all). He takes being a father so serious. He loves Elliott and I KNOW that Elliott knows this- I think that makes him the best dad ever! I could go on and on........

Happy Father's Day to Craig-o. You are the best. Hang loose, rock on, love you man.

Another month bites the dust

We have had quite a crazy last few weeks- I apologize for not posting.
A few of my girlfriends and I were joking that no one really posts anything that really happens on their blogs- only the little fun details and the bragging of their kids. Most of the time- you wouldn't really want to hear our day to day stuff- I prefer to keep a rather boring existence- however- no matter how hard I try it seems I can't escape myself. So- mildly quick update- no big deal- got pneumonia- hospitalized for a few days- now I am home- can't breathe- life goes on. That wasn't too bad. Now on to bragging about my guy.



Elliott started swimming lessons- so fun. He has changed dramatically in the last 2 weeks with these lessons. He is attempting to actually swim and each time gets a little better. I am pretty confidant that we can have him at least to a point where he will be able to get himself to an edge or a step if an emergency presented itself. That is my goal. He was so proud- this is his first day.





A friend of ours was his teacher- she was FABULOUS (Thanks Amy) She got E to do a few things that I still can't get him to do. She was good at bribery- see below.




As many of you know from a few posts ago that we got to dog sit Billy. Billy is Amy's dog. She told Elliott on the first day of swimming that she would bring Billy on the last day. He was in heaven. He loves this little dog. I must admit- it was good to see the little guy. Hopefully next time we get to see Billy we will actually get some one on one time with him. Things were a little hectic that day.


Underoos and a fedora- Look at my TALL/SCRAWNY little man! I can't believe how big these little underwear sets make him look. I love him in this hat. I keep trying to get him to wear it everywhere.

That is us the last couple of weeks- what a weird couple of weeks it has been.
