Baptism and Birthday






Excuse my punctuation, I am typing with a baby in my lap! He is cooing at his picture on the computer. We are in the process of recovering from a big weekend! On June 14th, Eli was baptized and we celebrated Will's 3rd birthday. Grandma & Grandpa Brink, Cousin Taelynn, Uncle Brett, Lauren, Grandpa Wade, Uncle Josh, Uncle Mike, Auntie Zena, Cousin Brett and "Uncle" Craig came from all over to celebrate. Thank you all for coming!
The boys were just to the doctor and both are doing well. Eli is 26.25 inches long and weighs 16 lbs 4 oz. Will is 36 inches tall and weighs 36 lbs. Eli is trying to roll over. He has been sleeping through the night (more or less) for a month or so. He has the sweetest little smile, loves to babble and coo--especially at his big brother. Will is quite the talker. He cracks me up with the things that come out of his mouth. I overhear the funniest conversations, like: "'Hello James!' Thomas puffed as he chugged across the spension bridge." He is very strong-willed and stubborn too! He's been very resistant to potty training, so if anyone has some tips, I'd love to hear them! Hopefully our next update will find Will completely potty trained and Eli sleeping through the night EVERY night!
