Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Eli is ready for baseball season - and rooting for a Reds winning season. We watched the game together today. And by "we," I mean I watched while he napped on me. Unfortunately, we had to watch from home, we weren't at the game, and even more unfortunately, they lost. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come. Anyhow, maybe they'll get it together; even Eli's cute baseball outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Mehling couldn't bring in a win. There's always next time. . .

A Picture Says a Thousand Words. . .

Eli got his picture taken again on Wednesday. Here are the ones we ordered. He wasn't feeling well again, so it took a lot of effort from us to get him to smile. He was definitely being serious. But they turned out pretty cute, anyhow.
Speaking of him not feeling well, he was definitely miserable again by Wednesday evening. Some of you know, he came down with a virus last Tuesday - coughing and lots of congestion. Over the weekend he seemed to be getting better - just in time for Easter. But, like I said, it started coming back with a vengeance Wednesday. So I took him to the doctor's on Thursday and found out he has a double ear infection. The doctor said it wasn't too bad - but who knows if the infection was on its' way in or out. So Eli was welcomed into the wonderful world of antibiotics. Which has its' own lovely side effects! So anyhow, he seemed to be feeling better today, and will hopefully be back to normal. Poor little man has trouble sleeping with all that coughing!
Have a great weekend everyone - apparently we will be watching basketball all weekend.

I Love the Easter Bunny

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny came to see Eli at home, and at both Grandparent's houses. It was a busy day - Thom was on call, so it was just Eli and I at church. Church was good, and Eli slept through most of it, which was nice except for the side effect of a very tired arm from holding him in the same position. He's been sick, though, so he needed a good nap. But I think he had a good first Easter. We had lunch at my parents' house with Uncle Doug and Aunt Paula, Josh and Jenny, and Jenny's parents and grandmother. Then we went over to Bunnell's - Mike and Susan and the girls were up from Knoxville, and Eric and Karen and the kids stopped in on their way home to Louisville from Cleveland. So we got to see everyone. Hope you all had a good Easter Sunday, too!
