Happy to be back with Auntie Kelly!

When Mommy and Daddy had to go back to work, Eli was happy to be back with Auntie Kelly and the girls 3 days a week. Life is good with powered sugar donuts for breakfast! This year Mackenzie was in school full time, so Eli spent most of his time with Penny.

Monday's with Oma

Eli was happy to have his Mondays with Oma back when Mommy and Daddy went back to work. Today Nate didn't have school so he got to go with to the zoo!

Palos Children's Farm

Eli loved the children's farm in Palos. He loved petting all the animals and enjoyed the hay ride too! 

Our Little Gardener

Eli must have been paying attention when he watched Daddy water the plants, because as soon as we let him on the back deck, this is what he does:

Summer Fun in Michigan

What better way to spend one of the last few weeks of summer than up at the cabin? We had a great time - Music in the Park, The Farm, Holland Splash Pad, shopping, and best of all (Thanks to Ed and Laurie and Opa's hard work) - enjoying the new addition to the cabin: the former Birthday Park, now known as The Island!

Yummy powdered sugar donuts!

Lola loves donuts too! 

Someone was supposed to be napping but instead we saw him peeking out the window! 

Swinging before breakfast! 

Wiped Out on the way home!!

Hickory Hills Splash Pad

Mommy and Daddy took Eli to the splash pad in Hickory Hills, which he loved! He also loved just playing at the playground near by. 

Little Bro...Or Sis?

Mommy and Daddy got a good look at the new addition to the family scheduled to arrive this December. We couldn't believe how clear the 3-D pictures turned out. We are very excited to meet this new little one and know that Eli will be such a great big brother!!!
