BANG! BANG!

This week I was having some MAJOR cabin fever while Joe was at work all day. So while Eli and I were out for a walk I saw a wonderful little spot for a picnic. I called up Jess and her son Alex and Sarah and her daughter Ella to meet for a mommy and me outing for the next day. We met and set up camp in a green and shady spot where we were away from everything. It was wonderful being able to have this little support group of first time moms to meet with and swap stories. Alex is the oldest, born Feb., then Ella in March, followed by Eli in April so they are all so close that we are going through many of the same things at the same time. Since we are all nursing moms we all have a baby on a boob and out of nowhere this college aged guy dressed in all camo walks right up to us and tells us he is apart of ROTC and will be doing some training in the grassy area a few yards from us but that we were fine where we were. So all around these three nursing moms are about 15 big ROTC guys running around, yelling BANG! BANG! and tackling other guys wearing black ski masks. It was quite a sight, we didn't know we were getting dinner and a show!!
Last weekend while Tonya was out at a bachlorette party I got to keep Eli all night! We had a couple of my friends from college over to meet Eli for the first time. It was a late night and when Tonya came home in the morning she let us sleep in until noon.
