Highlights

I am really behind on blogging aren't I? So here's a few highlights since last post.

Amy, Carsten and Travis came over last Friday and I got to watch Travis (yay!) while Amy, Carsten and my mom went to Sam's Club for party supplies. I love this picture of Carsten, this is a classic Carsten face,



A very serious Travis modeling,



Saturday was Carsten's 2nd bday party. Eleanora was anxiously awaiting the party,



Carsten opening his favorite gifts, "Cars" cars and carrying case, which happen to be from Auntie Katie and Uncle Bryce,






After he was finished opening his gifts, it was a cousin free for all to help him play with them!



Yep, that's right, the birthday boy was so in love with his favorite gift he brought them with to cut the cake,



Later that weekend, we caught Anne cuddling with Kirby. Now we have photos, mom, you can't fool us, you like her!



Tuesday Eleanora had tacos! Well, beef, cheese and soft tortilla shell, she LOVED it.



Wednesday we took Eleanora to the library. She wouldn't give up her sheep and pig, so we had to bring them with (notice one in each hand),



She played with Libby the Library Bear (sheep still in hand),



She played with the puzzles,



Snacked on Cheerios,



And spent a lot of the time crawling around, pulling the books off the shelf with me chasing behind her picking up (no photo of that!)

She was pooped, so she relaxed in a bean bag chair until Mommy and Daddy were ready to leave,



Thursday night, Uncle Kavan had a short lay over here in the Cities, so we met up with him for a bit. He hadn't seen Eleanora since Christmas, so a lot had changed since then!






Eleanora did what she always does when she's trying to check out someone new, stuck her fingers in his mouth!




And I'm sure Kav won't appreciate this picture, but I like it! Bryce sometimes says that he sees a little bit of Kavan in Eleanora, and I never saw it. But this picture I can kinda see it, same hair color, same eyes, similar thoughtful look on their faces...



Eleanora was absolutely dying to get down and crawl around. I was not all about my little girl that loves to put anything and everything in her mouth, and who is not above licking the floor, crawl around the food court at the Mall of America. But Uncle Kav obliged her and took her for a walk,



Before we left, we realized my debit card that was on my food tray had gotten tossed in the garbage while Kate was clearing the table for everyone (my fault, she didn't know that's where I had left it). So Bryce had to get it for me,




Don't worry, the card was retrieved! So there you have the highlights.
