I can hardly believe how fast time seems to go now that I am old. Eli turned 8 years old a few weeks ago. He had a good birthday. It was on a Friday, which of course is always a plus! I took cupcakes in his class for an after lunch snack. Jeremy and Ethan had a scout camp out, so they had to leave in the afternoon. Eli was a bit sad they were gone, so we headed out to McDonald's for dinner. We had to go to the one with the "coolest" play place. The kids ended up playing for 2 1/2 hours. Which was a very very long time to be at McDonald's, but hey it was for his birthday :) We celebrated with Jeremy and Ethan the next day with his special dinner of homemade pizza and of course birthday cake!
Grandma spoiled him with his own ipod this year. He loves it. He was in heaven to have one of his own. He is getting to be an expert on his pogo stick as well.
His very first scout meeting was the Blue and Gold banquet. He looked so cute in his uniform! I just loved it. He was even brave enough to do the skit. I was so proud of him! He is definitely growing up fast.
He was baptised March 2nd. It was a wonderful morning. The baptism was a very special occasion. I loves seeing his big smile the whole time. It was a day to remember!
Eli is a great little boy. He is super silly and loves to make us laugh. He can still be quite shy, but is slowly coming out of his shell. I love to see him get brave and try new things. He is a joy to have in our lives and we are so lucky to have him in our family!
