Burgess Baby Shower!!!

Our very good friends, Bob and Jennifer, are expecting a baby in March! We went up to Baltimore on Saturday, January 26 to celebrate with them at their baby shower! Jennifer is currently unable to travel, so their friends and family brought the shower to them! There were tons of presents for them to open! We had a great time visiting with them and we enjoyed every minute! Elijah had a good time too and was very well behaved! As Chris says, "It's discipline!!!" Yeah, ok!

Bob and Jennifer decided not to tell anyone what the sex of the baby is (they know, they just refuse to tell!!! Sneaky devils!!) so everyone had to guess the sex, birthdate and size. Chris and I think it's a girl. Besides, Elijah needs another girlfriend!!!!!

Elijah Rolled Over...Again!

He rolled over again!!! Technically, he's already rolled over from his stomach to his back, but yesterday, he rolled over from his back to his stomach!!! Yeah!! Let's see how often he does it now!

Elijah's first snow!!!

Ok. So this was not the first snow since Elijah was born, but the last one didn't count since it barely left a dusting!!! This time we've gotten about 2 to 3 inches and it's only 11:00 a.m!!!! Well, at least I think it's 2-3 inches! I took Elijah out this morning and put him in his Bumbo seat so I could get some good pictures of him. He's sooooooooooooooooooo cute!! He loved it!

Ohio

While we were in Ohio, we decided to make the best of the circumstances and we were able to visit with Chris' family. John, Hope, Aubrey, Beth and Sean were able to come up for the funeral, so we were able to visit with them as well. Elijah got to see his Great-Grandma Scheetz and some of his cousins and Great-Aunts. Chris and I even got to go on a date!!! Wahoo!!! Dianne watched Elijah for us while Chris and I went to a movie (National Treasure--very good by the way!!). Yeah!!! A date!!! It doesn't happen often, so we took advantage.

Probably the most exciting thing happened to us as church. Yes, church. Right after the homily, the man decided to walk down the center aisle, NAKED!!! Yes, you read that right, NAKED!!!! This guy in a gray sweatsuit walked to the front of the church right after the gospel. After the homily, he took off his clothes and walked towards the back of the church in his birthday suit! (You know I could NOT make this up!!) Chris and a few other church members escorted the guy outside and he was arrested. Apparently he is a schizophrenic (sp). So a very interesting church service!!

Sadness

We got called to Ohio last Wednesday because a very close, very dear friend of the family passed away. Frank Harbol was a wonderful husband, father, neighbor and friend. He lost his battle to cancer. He was loved and will be missed. We were blessed to know him.

It is January, right??

What is up with this weather?!?! Why is it 74 degrees in January???? I'm not complaining because I got to take Elijah outside, but come on!! What's so bad is that it's supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow. Still not bad, but not winter weather. Apparently it's supposed to snow this weekend!!!! One last ray of hope...

Lazyness.....

Yeah, our son is lazy! He rolled over for the first time a week and a half ago. He's done it about 4 times since. He just lays on his back and kicks his feet. When he's on his stomach, he just cries. Come on!!!! I know you can do it!!! Now, while I'm still a little glad that I can leave him on my bed without the fear of him rolling off, it's good, but, it would be nice to have him roll!! But some good news, he's sitting up on his own (sort of!!!). He leans forward a bit, but he doesn't have to be supported!!! Sometimes he just topples over, but he's getting the hang of it!
