Busy Summer

Well, it has been a very busy summer! Eli is swimming on his own now with floaties, so we spend a lot of time hanging by the pool.

Andrew and I were asked to be group leaders for this year's Youth Conference. We had a blast! Here is Andrew with some of the boys from our ward. He was recently released as 1st Councelor in the Young Men's because he is starting his Master's program next week and will have class on Wednesday nights. I know he is going to miss these guys.

The following weekend we went on a road trip to North Carolina to see Andrew's cousin get married. We drove 11 hours through the night to arrive at the temple in time. Eli was such a trooper...here he is, bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Eli and Grandpa Glancy....so cute

Eli at the Reception that night
The next day we turned around and drove home. It was a very quick trip!
While we were gone, our sister in law, Sarah, gave birth to....SURPRISE...a little girl
The doctor had said it was a boy!
It was so fun to meet little Sarah Faye
Eli at the mall playground. This is his face when he squeals with delight!
This is one of those "rides" at the mall that you can put quarters into. I never put money in because I didn't want Eli to know that they moved since he is perfectly happy playing with them when they don't move. Well Grandma couldn't resist...so now the secret is out. Eli's expression when it started to move was priceless.
My new favorite thing that Eli does is he holds the phone up to his ear and just starts jabbering. It melts my heart.
I have a cold right, so I stayed home from church yesterday. Andrew took Eli with him to church and I thought the outfit he put Eli in was so adorable.

Anyway, that is about it! Thanks for checking in on us!
