Si Pi's New Trick

Eli with my flops on.

So we got some paydoe for his birthday and I decided to get it out and give it a try. At first he didn't know what to do with it. Then I sugested that we make an apex (excavator) and he was all for it. Then we spent the rest of the time making repairs and fixing the wheels.

Daddy and Si taking snooze...zzzzz.....zzzz

The other day Uncle Pat called early in the morning and asked if Eli was awake. I said "yes, he is, he's watching his bulldozer movie" So Uncle Pat said that he wanted to surprise Eli and show him his dump truck.

Like most of us in life...we are always a bit apprehensive when faced with reality.
Eli loves the little version...but the big version is something he is working on.

Finally daddy came out and got inside. This was enough for Eli...he was sold. It he went. I was glad that he got over the hugeness and was able to enjoy himself. The rest of the week has been lots of talk about Uncle Pat and the dump truck.

Brothers!!!

Sadly this is probably one of the last days of us at the pool. Summer is being dumb and not sticking around. Maybe we'll get one more day...if not, that's ok.
We had a super blast this summer.

Michelle and Chad came over with Adrian and played with us for a while. Adrian is like Eli's twin. Its so crazy how much alike they are. The other day we were all in the car and as soon as we left the driveway both the boys said at the same time "Go that way." Jeff and I looked at each other and just started cracking up. This is what it would be like if we had twins we thought.
It was like we were in the twilight zone.
They are good buddies though and really enjoy each other's company.

Eli brought Silas a 2 course meal, Strawberries and tomatos.
Silas is so lucky to have a brother that loves him so much!
