When Daddy's Away...




...Mom and Eli Play!
This weekend while Jon was in Arizona and Vegas for work, Eli and I kept busy. Friday night we went to our friends' the Durbins for a home group dinner. Saturday morning began with a bike ride to the park, where we met with Key Club kids from Vista to help with Battle of the Bands. After a good time there, we headed back UPHILL (causing me to realize how out of shape I am!) to go to Caleb's birthday party. There we had a great time with lots of friends from Church, but unfortunately I forgot my camera.
After a nap, we headed to DU to take in the Sesame Street Live show: Elmo Grows Up! Eli really enjoyed his first (hopefully of many)stage show.
As if that were not enough to exhaust us, we started again Sunday after church with Taylor's 4th birthday party. It was held at the House of Bounce, so kids young and old loved the exercise and had plenty of "floor burns" to prove it!
After a quick nap, we were off again, this time to celebrate a Passover Seder at our neighbor's mother's home in Denver. It was so kind of them to invite us, and we learned some more about the Jewish culture while enjoying a delicious meal.
After all that, we were ready for Dad to come home! Thankfully he returned safely late Sunday night after a long drive. Good thing we don't have weekends like this every week!
