TRI

So even though this happened while Liz was visiting I had to make a separate post. Elliott finished hi first triathlon!!! And he was an amazing trooper. We were so proud and he had fun. Next year I might even organize a little more swimming or running beforehand (we were totally unprepared but no biggie) .

lizzy

Liz is such a good sport, entering our life with gusto and totally rolling with the mania. Great to have her stay last weekend- fun for everyone. And I sure enjoyed some laughs.

birthday party

Fun and chaotic and i'm so glad we are all cleaned up. Poured for first half but was infinitely easier once the sun came out and the kids played in the backyard.  6 tomorrow!

little sucker

Finn got a fun new toy for his birthday and last night glen found a new use...

He was pretty excited about turning 2. Still tells everyone who will listen it is his birthday and he had birthday cake.

face-paint

Almost 2 and almost 6! Finny went for his first face-paint and she picked this bunny for him (he loves bunnies) and she painted a carrot on his finger. And Elliott is Pikachu.

soccer tournament!

The first of many, I assume. Elliott loved it and had lots of fun. He is starting to form new friendships, and hone his soccer skills. But nothing was as great as how high his confidence soared when he got his first goal.
