In and Around the Casa De Garfield

Here are a few shots from in and around the Garfield house. Enjoy.

Story behind this one: Eli made me put on his bike helmet one day out of the blue. I couldn't figure out why he wanted it on...but what you can't see in the pick and what totally made me crack up is he's standing on his tiny little tech-deck skateboard. At least he knows safety first!

Sammy! Awake!

Sammy! Asleep!

I love this pic of Eli and his cousins.

Sammy's Blessing

We blessed Sam yesterday, February 5. It was a lovely occasion. Thanks to all who who participated and helped out with dinner. We have the best family and friends ever.

Settling In

Sammy's been around for about 5 weeks now and things are starting to settle down. Sleep is still elusive...but last night my dear mother-in-law took Sammy for the entire night while she was visiting and I slept for a consecutive 8 hours...it was heaven. I've felt amazing all day....like I'm not going to fall asleep at any given time standing or sitting. Here are a smattering of pics from the last few weeks. Notice how Dan and I are are sleeping in all the shots...

Eli's been a lot of 'help'.

A sort of smile.

Tummy time!

Eli joins in on tummy time.

Oh yeah...and I am no longer blond. Loving it.

A Real Hair Cut for Eli

Eli's mane has been a bit shaggy lately so last week I took him to Mommy's salon to get a real hair cut. He did pretty well...as long as the stylist let him play with all her tools.

She spiked his hair...something Dan has forbidden me to do so I thought I'd snap a pic while it lasted.
