Elan's 1st time on skis

Mat took Elan skiing today for the first time.  He did great.  They took a break after a few runs for the Easter egg hunt.  It was perfect weather for his first time.  Never got cold!

Elan fell asleep on the drive home.  Once we woke him up we told him that the Easter bunny came and he hunted in his and Mila's room for eggs...and gifts from the bunny.  It was a great day for Elan!

Zoo fun

Today we went to Hero's birthday party.  They had it at a facility full of inflatable slides and bouncy houses.  At first Elan was nervous but once he warmed up he went crazy.  It was fun to watch him bomb down the slides.

After the party we went to the zoo for their Easter celebration.  Elan got his face panted and loved wearing his bunny ears the rest of the day.

Go USA

Elan has been been really helpful with Mila in the morning.  It is really cute to watch them.

The US men's soccer team is playing tonight so Mat sent Mila to school in a US soccer shirt.

8 Months Old!

It seems the the months are going by so quickly!  Mila's personality is really starting to shine.  She is happy all the time and is crawling all over the place.  The only time she really gets upset is during bath time when we dump water on Elan's head.  She doesn't mind us dumping water on her head, just doesn't like us to do it to him.  Too funny.

Cooking help

Elan has been really into helping cook dinner.  He does a great job but it just takes a bit more time and dinner is usually a little cold.  But he is so excited to help we want to encourage him to be a good helper.  Mila is moving around really quick so she just crawls around the kitchen while we cook and laughs.

This weekend we went to work on the cape house.  We got the final bedroom painted and bathroom ready for the plumbers to come in next week.  Sunday was in the 40s and sunny so we spent some time playing on the beach and flying a kite.

Weekend in Framingham

We decided to take a break from working on the house and stayed in Framingham for the weekend.  So on Saturday we went to visit Hero and Indigo.  Even though Hero and Elan haven't seen each other in months it was like no time had passed.  We walked in and Hero walked up to Elan and said, "want to go to my room"...and then off they went.  Pretty soon Indigo and Mila will be playing together too.

 

 

On Sunday we went to Cambridge for a Sunday group run with the team.  While we didn't run it was good to see everyone and hang out.

More Snow

We got another big snow storm on Friday.  Elan and Mila's school closed early so we had time before dinner to play in the snow.

On Saturday we went sledding in Weston before going down to the cape to work on the house some more.  Sunday was sunny and in the 40s so we went to walk along the beach before driving home.

Week with Grandma and Grandpa D

This week Mat and I went to Vegas for a few days and Grandma and Grandpa D came out to watch Elan, Mila and Puna for us.  They had a great time except for the fact that Mila got sick the day after we left.  It was her first real cold that landed her at the doctors office with a double ear infection.  Despite the cold, she was happy the whole time.

And we did have a blast in Vegas!!
