Still catching up on all the pictures on my camera . . .
Last Sunday was Ted's birthday. We had family dinner at the Ortmans' house and enjoyed the remainder of our very warm day (what I wouldn't give for 60 degrees today!). In a moment of rock-star parenting, we (I?) sent Ned and Elliott out to play in the backyard. After a minute or two, I heard Ned say, "I had to rescue Elliott!" We went outside to find Elliott in the dirt pile (leftover from building gardens), wearing one boot with the other planted solidly in the mud. There was in impressive amount of mud holding his boot down.

With the boot. The other boot was quickly also consumed by the dirt pile so I let Elliott run free in his socks.
Ned throwing the ball for Humphrey and Elliott looking on with admiration.
Woah!
This is how Elliott threw the ball for Humphrey. He would run all the way to the fence and throw the ball against the fence. It was exceptionally cute.
Cousins at work with heavy equipment.
Penny in flight! She's getting so big, yet is still very very small.

Practicing saying "cheese" for the camera.
King of the mountain
Running back from throwing the ball for Humphrey.
The left arm was swinging back and forth as he ran.
Elliott pushed the dump truck across the yard and started loading it with bricks. It was cute for a picture but quickly made all of us nervous since he had no shoes on.
