Hey there!
Sorry for being so delayed with the blog posting. It has been one busy summer for us! I am also just coming off a terrible sinus infection that tried to ruin our first family vacation and the week following. The vacation was so much fun even with me feeling under the weather. Eli had a blast & showed off all his walking skills that he is perfecting more and more each day. One thing is for sure, going on vacation with a baby is allot of work. Between packing & preparing for the vacation & then doing that each day for the beach we soon realized how easy it used to be when it was just us! Of course looking at Eli's smiling face and his cute things he does to amuse us makes up for all the work!
While away we visited with Adam's Aunt Brenda who lives in Cape Cod & then Thursday we checked into a house we rented with our friends in Chatham. Every summer we go away with the Uconn crew and this was the first year the house was filled with babies! Hahaha...they all had a great time. Eli loved playing with Jack & Cammy, it was so cute to see the babies on the floor going crazy with all the toys! You could tell each baby was going towards all the new toys they had never seen, it was a blast to watch them interact.
The last day in the Cape my sister Tammy & her family came up for the day and spent the night with us. They also made us all a fabulous grilled steak dinner, it was yummy. It was so much fun to see them and go to the beach together. My neice & nephew keep growing up so fast, it makes me sad!! I remember holding them when they were Eli's size and it seems like just yesterday.

This past weekend we didn't do too much which was nice. I had a bridal shower to go & Adam was solo with Eli on Saturday. He took him to the park, he loves the swings and we spent the rest of the weekend hanging out in Adam's parent's pool. It is such a nice luxury to have right down the road!!
On the running front - I had to take a bit of break while sick which was a bummer. I absolutely love running on vacation especially in Cape Cod. This sinus infection was so bad that even once we got home I was wiped out with a fever on top of feeling miserable. I am happy to report that this past Friday I started to feel consideribly better and I am back in the swing of things now. I was back at it this Sat. & Sun. and hope to sign up for a race soon :)
Here are some more pictures from our vacation! Enjoy :) The first picture cracks me up, that was our lame attempt at getting all the babies to sit together for a group shot, Eli looks so distressed! hahaha....
Eli's most favorite thing to do at the beach...eat his cheerios in his stroller!
