Check out Flickr to see photos from our now not-so-recent trip to Maine. We went up there on July 4th. It was a great time.

Naked Parking Lot

A mad capped chase through the parking lot ensued as Elliot realized he wasn't wearing any clothes and no clothes were nearby to be draped on him. This is the life!

He got to ride a Harley for the first (and hopefully last) time. This is Elliot on his Uncle Dennis' hog. It was pure joy.

Elliot's 2nd Birthday

Of all the gifts Elliot received for his second birthday, he couldn't get enough of the trash truck. This is him showing me the truck for the 100th time. It gets better each time.

Elliot's 2nd Birthday, originally uploaded by shimomatic.

Elliot turned two on Saturday. We had some friends over to celebrate the milestone. Charlie turns 35 today, so we had a combined party for the two of them. In all, I think Elliot was more impressed by his cake than Charlie was.

snow storm

About 9" of great powdery snow fell yesterday. This morning, the sky was clear and the sledding was perfect. The trees were outlined in white, and everything was covered with a nice padding. Elliot wouldn't wear his own "mitts" but after some cajoling, he put on "mommy's mitts." He lasted for about an hour before having an "i'm cold" attack and demanding to go inside.

This photo was taken the last day of our recent trip to Vermont. Over President's Day weekend, we went up to a small town called Huntington with our friends Charlie, Rachel, Matt, Michelle and Eva. The trip was a blast. Lots of skiing, lots of falling on my butt, lots of good drink and good friends. And a little bit of sleeplessness because Elliot was a being a pill.
