Life and Times

This week, Elliot had a few events. Some ordinary, some not. The first to mention is the hair cut (see above). Jeremy got the clippers out and Elliot sat still for a whole 5 minutes while we buzzed off a good 3 inches of hair. Doesn't he look so grown up?!!

Elliot playing with a very interesting train at our weekly play group.


Snack time at the play group with Juliana (standing), Emmi, Ben and Abilene. Elliot in foreground.

More snacks, but this time I caught some reluctant Mommies (Monique and Pam) in the pic.

After the playgroup, we went with Allison and Ben to get a snack. Elliot looks upset here for some reason, but he really was having fun. This is the first time he and Ben have willfully held hands. Cuuu-ute!

More cuteness...Ben and Elliot looking like twins here. Do you believe Ben is actually 6 months younger? He's gigantic! And adorable.

Carousels and Playgrounds

Over the past year or so, we have stopped at many many playgrounds and ridden on countless magical carousels. While browsing through our pictures one day, I noticed that we have some great ones from around the world and throughout Elliot's short but rich life. Here is a selection of some of my favorites; in chronological order.

Elliot 6 months old at Disneyland.

8 months in Kansas City.

Approx 11 months at Confusion Hill, CA a whacky place indeed.

16 months in Fort Bragg at the creepy carnival.

17 months at Tot Land in Berkeley.

Ok, it's not a carousel or a playground, but it's a Fire Truck! They drove around the block. (18 months)

19 months. Fontvieille, Provence, France (both above).

Florence, Italy. 19 months old here too.

Above two in Paris, France, 20 months old.

Finally, here with Grandpa at Wiggly Giggly Park in Fort Bragg, Xmas 2007.
