Happy Birthday Grandpa Elsey!!

Hi all!

Sulli, Ben, and I are settling back into normal life after our E. coast trip although we really miss everyone.

Sulli had a missoula birthday party last Sunday and got some great presents. One of which was a sandbox that has been tons of fun. I had Sulli in there naked the other day and he got sand everywhere! I had to hose him off in the sink, pretty funny. Ben thought I was nuts putting him in there naked, but Ben likes to keep things clean, more so than me (Mom can attest to this).

I think Ben and I have finally found day care for Sulli. A patient of mine has a 1 1/2 year old boy and she is a stay at home mom. She is going to watch Sulli twice a week, Ben will watch him one day, I will take one day, and Mr. Grandfather will have a day. It is amazing how stressed I have been over the daycare thing (me stressed? no way...)but the idea of leaving your child all day with a stranger just wasn;t working for me.

Enjoy the new pics and vidoes. BTW, we realize that we have horrible music in the background of some of these movies and the reason for that is that Sulli likes top 40, unfortunately...

Take care and we love you. Happy birthday Daddy!

Jess, Ben, and Sulli







Sulli did much better eating his cake at his 2nd birthday party. Amazing the difference a few weeks of fine motor development make!







The first harvest from our garden! Spinach, lettuce, and cabbage that ended up being pretty but not so much yummy.















We finally got Sulli's bike trailer hooked up and rode to the famer's market this morning. Thanks G-pa Elsey!!

Our new blog and our awesome beach trip!


Hello everyone! Marking Sulli's first birthday, we are changing the location of our blog. We will still keep the blog, just probably won't post quite as often (sorry!).
We had a wonderful time at the beach even though the travel was a complete nightmare. It was so great to be with so much family and we all had a great time.
Here are lots and lots of pictures.
We love you all and wish you a happy 4th!
Love,
Jess, Ben, and Sulli
