Big News!

Big news from so many different fronts...

1. During bath time in the baby tub, Eli was splashing water all over my kitchen counter/ floor, so has now graduated to the Bath Duck. What a big boy!

2. We pulled my mom's vintage carrom game out of the back of the closet for Ben to "play" with. The copyright date on the instructions are from 1945, so this game has been "played" by many a kid... Ben loves it, even though he isn't following a single rule from the instructions and has made up many a game by himself (mostly involving stacking and knocking over checkers pieces and flicking pieces across the table to knock the others in the pockets).
3. Eli is still a very smiley baby (that's not really big news, but I still wanted to share the next picture anyway...)

4. I became an aunt (again!). Grant Edward was born on Nov 21st! Congrats to Aaron and Rhonda! He's soooo cute! (This isn't a prioritized list - just a chronological one which makes for easier picture editing - otherwise this would have been #1 for sure!!!)

both cousins completely sacked out.

5. Eli is in 6 month clothes (and even some 6-9 month) at 3 months of age.

6. Still smiling.

7. And more smiling.

8. and more...

9. Eli is rolling over consistently now.

10. Ben is still a big goof ball (in a very good way!)

11. We had a great Thanksgiving with Andy's family. Our family has a LOT to be thankful for.

12. We have booked our tix back to MN for X-mas and can't wait to see everyone there!
