Farm

There's a local farm we've been to a couple of times. They have a few of each animal and it's on almost 150 acres with trails, wetlands and playgrounds. Elliot really likes the farm and the bits of animal trivia they have posted.

Diggers

This week we had sewer line work done and Elliot happily sat outside on the deck watching the guys with the backhoe and various other machines for hours. He and I also got to rent and drive a dump truck to the other side of the city! It was a fun week despite the expense.


Because we're trying to sell the house, we've been spending a lot of time away from it in an attempt to keep it looking ridiculously organized and clean. We've learned that despite 85% of his toys being in storage, he is never without something to do. Time to clean things out, I think.


Other friends who just moved into a new house have offered to watch Elliot while we house hunt or sign papers and he has had a blast with his buddy George getting dirty and playing. They're so loud together and so FUN!

Turkey 2010

This year we took Mim and Pepere with us to Turkey to see the sights and, of course, eat lots of food. Elliot got to revel in attention from 3 grandparents at once and loved it.
