I played in my 'construction area' Then we had a little picnic w/Jes I had to scoop sand out of my sandbox Grandma left at 2:30, I had some raisin bran...yum...took all my clothes off (I spilled milk) and began to draw on my Aquadoodle while I watched today's Thomas the Tank Engine Here is a video of my baby brother sleeping & swinging, me trying my hopity hop and playing in my shadow!

Today was Jesse's first time on a stroll and first time at the park!
We have been waiting for the wind to die down! Look how gorgeous it is in Orange Hills today! 81 degrees and a cool breeze! Mommy took me from here to here... Then I woke up on the stroll I loved it! Then we picked my big brother up from school early to go to the park! I can't really do much here except look cute! As usual, Eli met a new friend...he just turned 3 on the 20th...his name is Kyle He wanted to play with Eli's trash truck so he let him. Have a great weekend!

Jesse is 3 weeks old today... He lost his umbilical cord stump yesterday, so he can have a 'real' newborn bath, not one of those boring sponge baths!

We picked Eli up from school and found out that a clown had come and all the kids had their face painted...surprisingly, Eli too!! First time for everything, right?

Jes 17 days old... The next three photos are w/ Eli about the same age Jes is bigger, but they definitely look like brothers and have very similar personalities (so far)

Look at Eli now...he is so silly...it was sprinkling outside, so Mommy covered his sandbox...what does he do? He takes off his sweats, takes the lid off the sandbox and lays in it!
Have a wonderful weekend! xo J & E

Forever Young, Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young.
