Bernheim

Yes, we travel this way a lot these days. Eli was sooo excited to go to Bernheim that he packed his bag, put on his boots, grabbed his butterfly net and then waited at the back door for 30 minutes while I got Otto up from his nap and gathered our things to go. Then he fell asleep on the way, but that worked out fine because Otto needed lunch.

We started out with the kids staying pretty dry, but once Otto fell in - picture number two - we just let them play.

Mother's Day

I had the delight of having my Mom here over Mother's Day!

Eli made me a card... so sweet!

McDonald's and Barbie

Eli and Otto had their first experience eating at a McDonald's and playing with a Barbie all at once. Otto seemed to know exactly what to do with the Barbie- see video.

Big Wheel

Riding a big wheel seems to be a childhood classic that I know I look back on w/all sorts of fun memories. It can get you around, when flipped over it becomes an ice cream maker or whatever your childhood mind turned it into. Eli so far loves it! He especially seems to like to go down the hills w/his feet off to the side... weeeeee!

Chop Chop!

Eli got a haircut at a salon! He was sooooo good. He sat more still than I have ever seen him before and I think he is really happy with the shorter hair- less for Mama to brush!

Derby Races

Derby weekend is quite an exciting time around here- as many of you know who have visited during this eventful time in Louisville. It was just the other weekend and in honor of the races I was hoping to have a mini derby race of our own, but these jockeys, Eli and Levi, were much more interested in bouncing high, riding backwards and purposeful crashing - which was super cute! Don't worry, no one got hurt.

Here is a video of me trying to get Otto to share some words. Eli LOVES this video - so I had to share it. His favorite part is the last 20 seconds. He just giggles and giggles every time he sees it.

Our New Pet

I know you all have just been waiting to see this... more bugs. Here he is, our pet tarantula. In the video we fed him a fly, one of his favorite foods. I think he likes the adventure of catching them.
