A Family Affair

Eli's uncle (Uncle J) came to visit tonight. You'd think Eli remembered him from Christmas and had been anticipating his visit all month given the way he acted. From the minute Justin walked in the door Eli wanted to be held by him, or at the very least, to be acknowledged by him. Constantly. He started off by saying (repeatedly), "Hi! Hi!" And it just went on and on from there. On top of the excitement of having family in the house, we spent some time in the front living room, which is normally an off-limits room for Eli. Wow - it was as though he'd had a Red Bull with dinner!! This kid went crazy, running around and laughing. All in all, he was in a great mood, but very very VERY hyper. The two had a great evening together before Eli finally 'let' Justin leave so he could go to bed around 8:45. I think he'll sleep well tonight.

That is so cute at how tickled he was with his uncle! I LOVE that photo of the two of them!

Ryan and Pace LOVE their uncle. There is something about an uncle. My brother can do no wrong and when he is around it is as if is the ONLY person around.
