First Bottle

While on our road trip, Eli took his first bottle from Dad. Dad was excited to be able to share in the feeding fun, and Mom has found it amusing to learn how this whole pumping thing works.

Celebrating 60 Years of Marriage

We recently were fortunate to be able to travel to Virginia to join in celebrating Eli's great-grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. It certainly was amazing to be part of a celebration of such a strong and loving marriage. This was Eli's first trip outside of Wisconsin, and as you can see below, he thoroughly enjoyed visiting Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennslyvania, and Maryland on his journey. He also enjoyed meeting many of the relatives, and was especially glad to have Miss Ella looking out for him during his visit. Although it may have seemed a daunting endeavor, we were pleased to discover that you really can do a multi-day road trip with an almost 6-week old!


Wasn't liking this state too much...


Car seats are good for napping.

Am I really still in this seat?

I've never seen my mom and dad in such nice, spit-up free clothes.
