We're baaaaack

I know that I am completely biased but isn't Eli the cutest baby that you have ever seen!! Look at those big brown eyes and that blond hair. Eli is already 9 months and I just think that 9 months is the cutest age ever! 9 months is so fun because they are starting to explore their world and at the same time they are still little.

Eli is now an expert crawler. He can get from one end of the living room to the other in about 5 seconds. That keeps me on my toes. He's decided his favorite thing to do is climb up on the fireplace and pull all our library books onto the floor. When he has pulled every book onto the floor he looks up at me and gives me the biggest smile. He also loves to play with Owen. He thinks chasing Owen around is the funniest thing alive. That squeal of laughter as Owen plays the game with him is the sweetest sound to my ears.

Eli also likes to shake his head. It's so cute. He moves his head from side to side as if trying to tell me something. He loves to do this when music comes on or when I'm talking to him. It's his way of showing me how pleased he is and is excited about something.

As Eli has been growing by leaps and bounds the other two boys have also been busy. I have been away from my blog for the past month or so but, I'm back and will start posting regularly again. We are all settled into our new home and Gabe has started school. Things are getting back to normal and I'm starting to feel like writing again. I love to share all we do during our days and love that I will have this blog to look back at someday. I do have to mention that I have lost our camera in our move. That has prohibited me from posting. It's so frustrating to lose something so important!! Bryan reminded me that since we still have all our children and most of our sanity that losing a camera is not that big of a deal. We are here and together that's all that really matters.

The past month we have been spending lots of time with family. My mom and sister have been down to visit us twice since we have moved here. How lucky am I? I feel very lucky. We were able to spend two weeks exploring Denver and then going to the mountains and enjoying Breckenridge. We had a wonderful time and if I ever find my camera, I will post the pictures. Below are some pictures from our trip to the zoo (thanks to Megan) and spending time together at the house. We had a ball.

I have to say that Megan and I have some cute kiddos.
