#1 Dad

Eli has the best dad ever. Seriously. After a fun-filled weekend, which also included some rough times due to lots of bumps and scrapes and lots of people, Eli unfortunately appears to have his first bout of pink eye. He's not been a happy camper this afternoon, due to the constant state of goo clouding his vision. However, after helping Mom and Dad with tools out on the deck, Eli was about to meltdown, out of exhaustion and frustration. Lehr immediately took him outside to take out the trash (a favorite chore of Eli's), followed by 15 minutes of quality car time. Eli loves his car, as I've mentioned before. We've let Eli ride down the driveway, but tonight Lehr upped the ante by pulling him up the hill outside our cul-de-sac and allowing him to ride all the way down to the grass. Eli loved it, as you can see from the video below.

As far as the weekend goes, it was great. We kicked off the holiday weekend with a pool party and potluck in our neighborhood. Eli loves the baby pool. Then we saw some friends from Alabama on Saturday before a late nap, but not before Eli scraped his knuckles pretty good on the driveway. Then he went to Home Depot with Daddy and "D" and knocked his lip, which drew blood and a sore mouth for the rest of the day. Sunday Eli played at church and then we all went downtown with Tyler and his parents for the local Jazz Festival. Finally today we spent the morning at the pool and then went to a Memorial Day BBQ at the house of "D". All in all, not too shabby!
