Catching Up...

OK, so we're a little late on the Valentine's Day pictures, but we're still catching up from not having access to our pictures. Here's Eli enjoying mom's flowers and chocolates as well as his own gift! :)

And here are some more pictures from Elijah's first haircut.

Cousins

Aunt Mar and cousin Jack came out to Colorado for a visit a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun! Jack and Eli checked each other out and were stroller buddies as their moms went out and about. We think they'll enjoy being close in age, especially as they get older and can play together. :)

Here are some oh so cute pictures of the little guys together.

Keller Colorado Adventures

Hooray! We finally got a memory card reader, so we have pictures again! :)

The Keller 3 in Breckenridge

John is in charge of planning monthly or bi-monthly Colorado adventures for our family. Our first official one was at the end of January when we went up to Breckenridge to see the annual ice sculpture contest entries. It was amazing to see the detail that can come out of a block of ice!

The entries were from around the world and quite diverse.

Our friends, the Wittens, were visiting from TX and so they joined us for the day trip. We had to take some breaks indoors for hot chocolate so that the kids could warm up, but the sun was out and shining!

And, of course, we had to stop for pizza at Beau Jo's before we headed home. :)

First Haircut!

Today Elijah got his hair cut for the first time! We know he's only 8 1/2 months old, but he was starting to get a rattail in the back, so we had to take some action.

Eli didn't mind sitting in the seat or having his hair combed, but he really didn't like being sprayed with water or having his ear held back to get his hairs trimmed. So, there were tears involved but, as you can see in the picture (scanned from his little certificate), he got over it and was smiling in no time!

Just wanted to share this momentous event with you all!!

Why so long??

OK, so we haven't posted in a while and the reason is this...we can't get our pictures downloaded from our camera to our computer. Hmmm...trying to figure out why, but no bright ideas yet.

So, in the meantime, we'll give you a quick developmental update on Elijah:

Eli has his first tooth!!! Hooray :) (although it hasn't been all smiles while it's been coming in)
Elijah's hair is getting so long it's starting to look like he has a rattail in the back, so he'll be getting his first haircut very soon.
Elijah is "cruising" all over the place and switching from one piece of furniture to another.
Kisses, open-mouth ones, are coming in more abundance now!
He loves going to storytime at the library once a week, and especially loves the songs.
Books hold Eli's attention for a lot longer now and he actually looks at the pages instead of just putting them in his mouth.

Coming soon...Keller Colorado Family Adventures and Fun with Cousins
