Happy Birthday Elliott!!

First and foremost, just wanted to wish a Happy 4th Birthday to our nephew Elliott! We wish him nothing but the best, now and for many many years to come! Yesterday was his birthday party, and everyone had a lot of fun! The day started off a bit on the chilly and gloomy side, but once the sun broke through, the weather made for a perfect Sunday!

Little Zae man wasn't in the best of spirits, although he did try his best to be his normally smiley self. It seems that his acid reflux has come back in a big way, poor guy. That coupled with his teething, makes for a particularly fussy little man! Being at a birthday party with a ton of little kids made it hard for Isaiah to focus anyway, especially when it came to eating, so we just did our best to make him comfortable. The family was able to see him and pass him around, but after being away from mommy too long, he let everyone know that he needed comforting...

Makenna started off a bit on the shy side at the party, unusual for our normally outgoing social butterfly. But as time passed, she found her groove, and did her own thing. She especially found the little club house in the back yard to be a fun place to hang out. Her other favorite hangout, along with the rest of the kids, was the sandbox in the front. There's something about sand and water that seems to attract kids, maybe it's the thought of getting dirty? Nevertheless, when we weren't able to find Kenna, she was in one of these places. Looks like we'll be making a trip to the toy store soon...
