Maine in December

We visited Maine for Ollie's birthday and enjoyed some Maine treats:

starting a fire in the woodstove....DELIGHTFUL

we visited Bug light, of course of course




visiting cousins...

Eliot turned 3 months

Eliot turned 3 months on decemeber 17th.

Here he is showing off his adorable self. I will hopefully post video footage of his belly laugh soon. i mean this child loves to laugh, which is handy because he has 3 willing entertainers :)

Catching up December

Waaay back in early December we got to have a nice long visit with great aunt April and then great uncle Phil. It was delightful

she bought Ollie (and the other two) cool slippers because that child will not keep socks on his feet.

Eliot quite enjoyed the extra set of hands to cuddle him when mama was busy!
Uncle phil was wildly entertaining. at one point I was informed- mom- uncle Phil made danger!
He also made tortillas and taught me how to as well. so he wins.
