HEROS

Every night before Eli goes to bed we call Dada at work so they can talk. And faithfully every night Dada tells Eli over the phone, “I’ll come in and give you kisses and hugs when I get home”. Last night, before Dada had a chance to tell Eli he'd come in to kiss him, Eli asked Dada, “you come tiss and hug me in my woom?” Dada laughed and said, “yes I will big guy…..every night”. I saw my husband as my hero in that moment putting up boundaries around our kids to make them safe and secure.

JW AND THE WUBBY BUBBY

When we asked Eli who he wanted to invite to his birthday party he basically mentioned Ben's friends.. lol . Eli was very happy to see JW came, they've been buddy's from day one...it's kinda hard not to like JW .. lol . When Eli opened JW's gift everyone laughed. It was a hat very similar to JW's minus the visor... lol . 'Manny' (Mandy) was Eli's other friend who was able to make it to his party. Not a day goes by that Eli doesn't say, "I miss Manny" and he has good reason to miss her. She showers him with love and attention and is a sweet girl. Manny got Eli two books and made him a bunny. When Eli opened it he named it dog...but with the help of JW later on that night Eli decided to call it " Wubby Bubby ". lol

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2008 We began celebrating Eli's Third Birthday by having a Birthday Breakfast at Bob Evans before we went to church. We signed him up last year for their free birthday meal club and he received his certificate in the mail last week. He was so excited about getting mail!!  lol  He had Sausage and Pancakes and a really good time.
