Back Up... and Down...

We are back in Mac-ville.  Our computer is back and working but no data recovered :-(  We prepared ourselves for it, so we're not too upset.  Our mind set is that we can get the pics off our blog, and from friends and family... So, if you have pics of Eli from 8/28 through Christmas send them our way!!!!!  Plus they are only pics right...

Eli and me; this is my new favorite way to hold him.

It was only about a month that we were without a computer and not blogging, but I have a lot to blog about (come on, one month is 1/5 of Eli's life.....)!    The highlights include... the Eakright Christmas, The (young) Gwinn Christmas, Checkers Hockey, and Eli's new toys and tricks.

The fun news this day, however, is all about Andrea...  She fell down the stairs while holding Eli and a bunch of random stuff.  Eli is uninjured and Andrea is ok.  We took her for x-rays and nothing is broken.  She tore/sprained something in her left foot and is hobbling around.  She was offered crutches but we knew that wasn't going to work.  So, she has a splint and was told to "stay off of it".  Thankfully, I have Wednesday through Sunday off and will be able to help her "stay off of it"!  Yay, five day movie-thon!!!  She is in a decent amount of pain and of course it scared her a lot but she has a good attitude about it all!

afternoon, because that's as far as mom could go!

Keep checking back for the coming updates!
