Elan's first camp

Today Elan went to camp for the first time.  He is going to the YMCA camp.  They get to canoe, fish, swim, etc.  It sound like a good time and we hope he enjoys the next 3 weeks.  He was so excited that he wouldn't even let me take his picture.

When I picked him up he was so dirty and exhausted.  He couldn't even form words.  I don't think I have ever seen him this tired...must  have been a good day!

After dinner he had enough energy to be silly with Mila.

Happy 3rd Birthday Mila!!

Mila turned 3 today.  We can't believe how quickly the last 3 years have gone by and how much she has grown. 

 
We love going in a checking on the kids after they go to bed.  Mila has been increasingly not wanting to sleep in her toddler bed and we tend to find her in various stages of crawling out. 

PA Wedding

This weekend we went to a wedding in PA with the Davenports.  It was great to see everyone.  Mila was really excited to dance and started as soon as there was music.

Elan's trip to Denver

On Tuesday Elan and I flew out to Denver.  I was attending a scientific conference so we flew out together.  He was really excited. 

One thing I got to do with Elan and the family was to go to a Colorado Rockies game.  It was Elan's first baseball game and is was interested, even though I still don't think he is a big fan of baseball.  The game was great because at the end they had fireworks, which were really impressive.

 

 So far Elan has done lots of swimming in the pool at Aunt Jay's house.  I flew back to Boston on Sunday and Elan isn't coming home until next week, so I'm sure he will have many more adventures to tell us about!

 

Mila got a week of Daddy time.  She had a tough time dealing with Elan not being there and the only thing she wanted to watch on TV were the shows that Elan likes.  Too cute!

4th of July Weekend

We had a 3 day weekend and the weather was perfect.

On Friday we went to the town beach.

 

On Saturday we took the boat out for the first time, went to a 4th of July parade and then fireworks at night.

 

On Sunday we took the boat out to the lake to get a feel of how to get to all parts of the lake.  We got to the part of the lake that allows waterskiing and tubing.  So, hopefully we will be able to do that on our next trip!

Elan's last day of day care!

Today was Elan's last day of daycare at Next Generation.  He has been there since he was 6 months old.  Below are 2 pictures from the first week he went to Next Generation and then this week.  He has gotten so big!
