New blog and brief update

Here is the link for Eli’s new blog: Eli Richard

Also, just so everyone knows, Eli was recently hospitalized for bronchiolitis. We are home now, and he is doing much better. I will post the details on his new blog later.

What a big boy!

I wanted to show everyone how big Eli has gotten in the 3 1/2 months since he’s been home!

Too bad wordpress is requiring the purchase of a space upgrade in order to continue posting pictures any bigger than these. I will be switching sites very soon.

Happy New Year to all!  We hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays as much as we did.  On Christmas night, my sister, Eli and I loaded up and drove to Massachusetts to see family.  Eli was very well-behaved and slept almost the whole time.  In Massachusetts, Eli got to meet several family members for the first time, including his Great-Grandpa, Great-Great-Grandma, many 2nd cousins, and Great-Aunts and -Uncles.  The trip was wonderful, but short.  We headed home on the 30th to be home for New Year’s Eve and to avoid a snow storm.  The trip home was eventful–both fun and frustrating.  We turned a 12-hour drive into a 16….  I will leave it at that!

Eli’s last doctor’s appointment was on the 22nd.  He had his 6-month shot and an RSV shot.  He tolerated them very well, other than the needles themselves.  No fever or other side effects.  He weighed 14-lbs even; up one pound.

There are a ton of pictures I wanted to share, so here is a link to the photobucket album: Christmas 2008
