Eli ran up to me early this morning saying, "Mom, look what I can do!" - Great, my son can give himself a hickey!  Lovely!

The Real Me

I will admit it - I'm a poor writer with a lack of focus.  I own a messy home and spend way too much time and money on groceries.

Elijah

Still reading?  Cool!  This blog started as a letter to son, Elijah.  Sounds kind of warped but I wanted him to know who I was - you know.. just in case.  This blog is the real me.  I may have some interesting stuff from time to time - but it's mostly me - sharing myself for my son.

Welcome to Letters to Elijah.

Shopping for an Invisible Fence

Sara: I think it would be great to get an invisible fence for Penny. That way she could be outside with us all the time.

Eli: But how in the world would we find one in the store to buy? Duh!

Packer Family Night

Saturday Night was Eli's first "Packer's Game" - it's not really a game (who can afford the tickets! - or get them!) Family Night is basically a practice with other fun events for families. Needless to say the whole family was excited to go!

Leading up the event Eli was somewhat confused as to what was going to happen at family night. He said, "how are we going to run and they are going to play?" You see, the only time Eli has ever been to Lambeau Field is for running events. (to

watch me run or for him to run his own races - 1k Cellcom) I guess it's better for him to associate Lambeau with running rather then beer, right?

Eli, are you ready for some FOOTBALL?

Dollar Store Thrills

While getting Jim's oil change today Eli and I walked over to the dollar store. (Sara is still at LLBC) I got him a spider man watch. He L O V E S it. He's been telling me the time all day. On the way home he said, "Mom, if you can get home in 2 minutes you will break a new record" Just like me, my boy is a little self competitive.
