Eli is crawling!

With the help of our friend Doug, we mastered posting video so that everyone can see Eli crawl and stand up on Daddy.

Hardest Day

So today I dropped Eli off for his first day of daycare...
and it has definately been one of the hardest things I have ever done... close behind giving birth to an over 9 lb baby:)

I have been in tears all morning but as lunch approaches, I am becoming calmer. I already called to check on him and of course he's fine:) It's always the Mamas that are worse off... My day was made a little easier when I got some flowers delivered from Josh.. As of now, I am trying not to talk about it...it only makes my eyes well up:(

In my hysteria I did manage to remember to document Eli's first day... here are some pics

North Carolina visit

We had a great weekend in North Carolina! We went to Asheville and visited family the entire day. Eli got to meet his Uncle Phil and Aunt Carol, who gave him his first haircut, and got to play with his cousins, along with his Uncle Joe and Aunt Tracy.
Eli especially loved playing with Gracie, Barron and Lola.

Here are some pics of the weekend.

Congratulations Molly and Adrienne!

Two of my college friends recently got engaged and I may be their photographer so I wanted to leave them a note here to link to my new wedding blog. You can see the link on the right. I am so happy for them and excited if i do shoot their weddings because they will both be the most beautiful brides:)
