Last week I was in the tundra of Madison. I think the lowest temp was -20! It was frigid, but at least it was sunny while I was there. I was able to hang with Elin, Brady, and Max and I was also fortunate enough to visit with Ryan O. and family as well.
I'm glad to be home, I just don't sleep as well without my flannel sheets, the warmth of Aaron, and Eli sneaking in our bed in the middle of the night. We had a pretty tame weekend. We went to breakfast at our favorite spot, Room 39, then we celebrated Brian's b-day that evening. We went over to his house for dinner. The boys had a blast as always. Sunday we spent the day at home. I did not have to work today, so I was solo with the boys. I was able to run this morning with Rhonda before Aaron went to work, it was pretty cold, but I'm glad we went. After Keenan took his morning nap I took the boys to their old daycare, Eli's "Old School" to visit. Eli was very shy, but once the teachers started talking to him about Thomas he started being himself. I think he was overwhelmed when we went into the play area and the kids all gathered around him. All of the teachers were so happy to see the boys. I was sad that Eli's last teacher had the day off, I think they would have both been excited to see each other.
We then picked up Aaron from the office and had lunch together. It was a little bit of a break for me. At least I knew I would get some help! Eli still wanted to go on another adventure, so we went to Dean and Deluca, we were not there very long, too close to nap time. We were all able to take a nap then I made dinner. Eli has learned to say "Chicken Tetrazzini". It cracks us up when he asks for more. "May I please have more chicken tet-traz-zini?". He even was talking to Lola, and told her what he ate at it was "yummy to my tummy".
Keenan is moving faster and faster. He was trying to stand on his own. He loves to babble very loudly. Eli says, "He's making so much noise!" as he's covering his ears.
Tonight Aaron read to Eli and he said this was the first night Eli said his prayers on his own. "Dear God, thank you for my family and my trains." It's a start.

That's cute. Eli looks like such a big boy in the picture!
I love this: "Dear God, thank you for my family and my trains." HA! I love it, SO CUTE! Love the photos, too.
I love the pics, but especially Eli's hair. How fun you got to visit Ryan and his family. I'm sure that was a busy house if your boys and his were all awake and playing. Love the train gratitude.
