First Steps

Eli took his first steps last Friday! I wasn't there, and this photo was taken maybe an hour after the event. Jen saw it live. Eli was standing at a bench at his friend Lukas' house. They were standing on this "bench" of two chairs facing each other. Eli was on one end of the "bench" and wanted to get to the other end...but Lukas was in the way. So he just stepped around Lukas to the other side of the bench! I guess all it took was a little motivation.

Eli's First Birthday



Opening presents is fun...

...but not as much fun as reading the directions!

My first birthday cupcake, yum!!!

Grilled Filets on Valentine's

In the spirit of this forty-degree Chicago weather, I grilled a pair of filet mignons when Jen got home from work tonight. I love you!
