Baby Blessing for Carter

Our family got together at my brother's in-law's to celebrate the life of Carter, my nephew.  Our entire family minus Jared was there and so we had to take a picture.  I also had to take a few pictures of my kids.  Riley was done with pictures and I had to give her cheese to keep her interested.  As you can see, Eli was willing to force her.  He was ready to be done too and that is why his picture is blurry, but so cute and worth sharing. 

Flooded Out

Eli and Riley's room flooded from the washer hose coming unconnected. At first, we just had wet carpet and I when we told Eli about it, he had a great solution. "I know, you could get me rocket boots so that I could get across the wet carpet!"

Unfortunately, he won't be getting rocket boots and unfortunately, we had to rip out the carpet. We tried to make it fun for the kids, even though, their entire room is upside down. Eli got to sleep in a tent and Riley slept right next to him on her mattress. They took awhile to settle down because of the change, but eventually, they did settle down, right before Mommy and Daddy collapsed.
