Grandparents are the Best!

We had a last minute visit from Marc's parents this past weekend. I think they were worried about us getting worn out since Eli had been so sick last week and wanted to come and offer a hand for the weekend. It was great getting to see them! We were used to seeing them a lot when we lived in Illinois so it is much harder now that we live so far away. Eli was feeling really well all weekend and LOVED all the attention. They couldn't believe how busy he is! He is so fast on his feet and is sometimes hard to keep up with. It was nice to have someone else chasing him for a few days to give us a break. :)

This slide was Eli's birthday present from Mama Reenie and Grandpa and he really loves it.

He tries to go UP the slide more than he goes down. :)

Eli really loves being outside. The minute he wakes up from sleeping in the morning or after his naps he is at the back door pointing to get me to take him outside. He loves playing with rocks and sticks and throwing everything he can get his hands on!

We took him to the park on Saturday night and Eli had tons of fun mingling with the other kids. He made this friend shortly after we got there. Marc's mom told me she doesn't think we will ever have to worry about Eli not making friends easily. Ha! I think she is right. :)

We had a great weekend and really enjoyed catching up with Marc's parents. It was also SO great seeing Eli well and happy. He is such an easy going boy that it is so hard on us when he is sick because he seems so miserable. We are trying to decide how best to proceed as they continue to figure out his recent ear infections. His adenoids were large on x-ray which may mean they need to come out with surgery, but the doctor at this point wants to draw some of the fluid out from behind Eli's ear drum to see if it has infection in it or if it is just fluid. Watching someone stick a big needle in my baby's ear does not sound like fun so I may send daddy to that appointment. :) We are hoping to delay any further treatments at this point until after our vacation at the beginning of July. Pray that Eli stays well from now until then!
