August fun

On August 1st Allison came into town with her 3 children. Then on the 2nd Katie and Carson came to town. The original plan was that Katie would stay a week and Allison would be staying 2 weeks. They both ended staying in town until after the 20th. We had so much fun with all the kids playing together. Carson and Eliza are such great little friends (they are only a few months apart). Eli and Jackie got to play together too and they were hilarious! We kept saying next year at this time all these kids are going to have so much fun with one another. Our days mainly consisted of swimming, eating, napping, and then starting that all over again.

A few things of note:

• Since Eli has meet Jacob he has loved playing with him very much. However I have noticed that he holds onto things a lot tighter then he ever used to.
• I brought Eli's rocket ship over for Jackie and Eli to play with. Next thing I know they are wearing similar shirts, and Jackie is pushing Eli on the rocket ship.
• I think Eli loves trucks. I always wondered what thing he was going to get into...is it animals, dinos, bugs, snakes, but right now he really seems to like trucks!
• Eli has been taking swimming lessons and he totally loves to swim. He has not fear and is actually starting to kick and use his arms!
