fun with eli

when eli was around a month old, i brought my SLR in for a cleaning, thinking i'd have it back in a few weeks, tops.  8 weeks later, i realized they still had it, so i called them.  there had been a mix-up and my camera had been sent to their corporate headquarters instead of their service building and was just sitting there.  in the meantime, i lost the lens cap, polarized filter, strap, and battery charger i had removed so just the bare camera could be sent.  i suspect they were thrown away, but i guess i'll never know.  so when i finally got back my bare camera (luckily i had stashed the cf and the battery in my car for some reason, so those weren't lost) i still couldn't take pictures because i had no way to charge my battery and no cover to protect the lens.  it was all a mess.  so this past weekend up until yesterday, i finally got a temporary fix-- bought a new charger and lens cap, and it was a go.  i've been so excited that we've been taking lots of pics.  here are some of my favorites of eli.

Visit

Eli had some visitors in town this past weekend.  Well, kind of Sam did.  The idea started with the Broncos Dolphins game, and blew up to a five day visit with some fun folks.

The best part, however, was seeing Eli's big cousin, Justin, who loved his little baby cousin. 
 Their carseats were right next to each other, and Justy loved to hold Eli's hand.  It was more than adorable.




Justy was extra smooshy in his Elmo costume, and ran around yelling "Elmo Elmo" which sounded kind of like "Ehmo Ehmo" all weekend.  Very cute.



Finally, here's a picture of Eli with his mommy and daddy.  He was a sock monkey, Sam was the  UPS man and I was Avril Lavigne (recycled costume from 4 years ago when she was popular)

Okay, one more.  Justy and Eli took a bath together, and it was really fun.  I'll include one picture of it because I can't help it.
