Noah Turns 1...So on Sunday we headed over to the other side of the world for Noah's big day. Eli was the only other baby...I didn't know that Noah was so mature to have such sophisticated friends. So the boys trucked around and enjoyed all the attention. Tony had lots of games for all of us to play. Jeff won the balloon toss and gave the winner sticker to Eli.








The Marshall's...So then after the party we went over to the Marshall's to say good-bye to Taryn. Taryn will be in Africa for 3 Months working in an orphanage. So they had a big party for her. Mostly Eli just took off all his clothes and ran around naked. We don't have pictures of that of course because that would be to explicit. But I'm sure you can imagine. He also got right into the stream that they have running through their front yard and played with the rocks. This kids loves the water. No matter the temp.

Well today started off with Uncle Tim. Jeff's brother came for the weekend for a conference in Seattle. So we get to see them in the morning...then their off to do brother things for the rest of the day. After they left Eli and I headed out for an appearance at a fashion show to speak on Infant Potty Training. Eli kept stealing his potty seats that I had brought for display while I was talking, he did great though and everyone was so impressed with his potty skills. So then we headed home for some lunch, play and nap. After nap we got ready and headed out the door again to meet up with some friends at the Fair and go to the Rodeo.....then we headed home for bed at around 9:00. It was a good fun day with mostly no bumps.....
Eli has been a bit testy these last few days. Kinda like he has all these emotions and he doesn't know what to do with them, Nor do I for that matter. He hasn't breastfed now for about a week. I know that he has two teeth coming in on the bottom also. So I think he is going through a little bit of an emotional crisis. So I'm giving it a little bit of time for some things to work themselves out and I'll see how he's doing in a week or so. I know he's mad about his teeth and I know that he may also be struggling with connecting with me now that he isn't nursing. If you think to pray for us that would be great.

Anyways....here's the day!

Emma had her 2nd Birthday and I made her a sling, we went to a wedding, had friends over for dinner, visited the Kuhns on there vacation on Vashon, went to the Kitsap county fair....Since this next weekend is suppose to be super full I thought I better get this blog up so that come Monday I can have a chance at staying up with all the adventures!
