On Saturday we had a party at my Mom's house, and a lot of our Colorado friends made time to come. We were really glad to see all of you, and hope you all had a good time and enjoyed seeing/meeting one another as well! I was just delighted. Only some of our pictures came out well, and I've included some of them here.
#1 ~ Sharon and Shad brought their son Blake. Even though Blake is twice as old as Eli, they look like twins! (Blake has some skills on Eli though and was zooming all over the house)
#2 ~ Eli with Dee and Tony and Hattie. Hattie was just a baby when we saw her last, and it was a blast to see her with Eli, reminding her parents that she really wants a baby sister ... :)
#3 ~ Super glad to have Shannon come -- and to have a chance to meet her daughter Saffron and her husband Scott. Saffron, by the way, came dressed as a one-hump camel -- as if you couldn't tell.
#4 ~ Tonya and her stepdaughter Devon. I was really glad to get a chance to meet Devon and hear stories about Tonya's family and job
#5 ~ Lynne and Eli. Eli has almost doubled since she saw him last.
Okay everyone, that's the breakdown of our trip. We left early early Monday morning and Eli again behaved like a gentleman. Even though it was good to see everyone, we were also glad to be home and back in Oregon. It's another busy work-a-day week. Jason is getting ready for the elk hunt and my job has been more interesting every day. Eli is starting to teeth, we think, signified by copious drooling and trying to shove his whole fist in his mouth. We will be spending time with Oregon friends and getting ready for our first little Christmas.
Much love to everyone out there, we hope you are doing well! We learned over the trip just how many of you check our blog and we are glad that you are thinking of us, just as we are thinking of you.
