Boys Hard at Work

New Addition?

This handsome fellow showed up at our house a few days ago and seems to have been abandoned by his owner. Looks like he came to the right spot, as he fits right in and is very well-behaved. What a face!

Building the Clubhouse

He's 5!

Happy Birthday, Elijah!
Eli had his Big 5 Birthday this past week. We planned a special day for him, including presents, dinner with his good friend Jenna, and shopping for supplies for his much-awaited treehouse/clubhouse that we started building that evening. It's so hard to believe that he's five already, and even harder to remember life without him.

Catching Up

I haven't had a chance to update my blog during the past couple of weeks. Here's what's been happening around here:

*A great visit from my nephew, Ryan and his friend, Kiley. They were on Spring Break from college and decided to spend part of their vacation with us. It was great to have them, and Elijah loved playing guitar with his cousin.

*Easter egg hunting!

*Our foster dog, Juno, who is here to recover from heartworm treatment, is now better and ready to be adopted.

*Elijah's working on learning to sound out words, which makes him really proud. He's also totally obsessed with anything science-related, which is lots of fun for us, too.

*Alex is putting a few words together. Her most famous recent combination of words was "Yuck. Poo-poo. Bad." This was when she saw a Taquito sitting on the table. Not one for junk food, apparently.
