Jenni and Tim's Wedding

Boy have we been busy lately. This past Thursday and Friday, Kevin and I flew to Dallas for my friend Jenni's wedding. Dallas was so fun. A few of my high school friends went out, too, so it was great catching up with them. On Thursday we explored the city- we found some great little spots. Our favorite was a pharmacy from 1915 that we stumbled upon. We discovered that they had a soda fountain and the best milkshake I've ever tasted. (So good, in fact, that we went back the next morning for breakfast AND another milkshake).

We had a nice steak dinner that night and then met up with our friends at the hotel afterward. Bill Engvall (of Blue Collar Comedy fame) was staying at our hotel as well.

Jenni and Tim's wedding was Friday night at the Filter Building on a lake. The weather was beautiful. Here are some pictures of the evening. Jenni was a stunning bride, but then again, I expected nothing less. What I didn't expect was how stunning EVERY person at the wedding was. Jenni and Tim don't have any ugly friends. I mean, every person was good looking.

Eli and his Applesauce

Eli likes to eat his applesauce by himself. He does a good job minus the occasional gob on his shirt, his highchair tray, his hair, etc.

Eli's Two Best Friends

Gracie

...and the vacuum cleaner.

Neighborhood Stroll

Finally...spring! Here are some pictures from our first warm day earlier this month. Eli took off down the sidewalk and walked all over our neighborhood.

Is it just me or does his hand look freakishly small? Like a t-rex's.

This is not our front door. He kept wandering off the sidewalk to check out random front doors and garage doors.

Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Brad

We only got a few pictures from our trip to Ohio this weekend for my grandfather's funeral. Here are some shots of Eli with my Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Brad at my grandfather's house.

Eli loved carrying around Papa's putter. He pretended it was a vacuum cleaner.

Speed Racer

Eli has played with his ride on toys for months, mostly just pushing them from behind and cruising around the house. Recently he has learned a new way of playing with it. He opens the seat, stands in it, holds onto the steering wheel, and crouches down. I'm not sure where he learned this maneuver- maybe from watching the Olympics. He sort of looks like he's practicing for the luge.
