Nice Mother's Day

As is tradition now, we met up with Andy's family at a park for a picnic on Mother's Day.  Great way to spend my Mother's Day!

 We stopped by for a visit with Great Grandpa Glenn and Claudia in their new place.

 And the boys spend as much time as possible outdoors, playing with trikes, scooters, soccer balls (Ben is loving to wear his soccer cleats and shin guards every excuse he gets), baseballs, basketballs, golf balls, as well as watering cans, sidewalk chalk, lawn mower (na-no) and sticks and walnuts.  Both are very much ALL BOY!

Eli just started with a few 3 words phrases, but mostly uses 2 word combos...  Daddy's home!  Here mommy, move please.  He loves singing action songs like Itsy-bitsy spider, baby bumble bee, etc.  He has gone thru a rough stage of falling and getting banged up lately - fell head first off the front step, tripped over the back door threshold, and fell off the front porch into a Japanese Maple.  He gets up pretty quick and doesn't want to go inside for a band-aid, for fear he might miss something outside...  Trying his darndest to keep up with big brother...
