Uncle Chris Visits

Brian's younger brother, Christopher, surprised us with a visit this past weekend. We really enjoyed seeing him. He spent quality time with the boys and we even enjoyed a grown-up evening to the casino. It was nice to spend some time with Chris and to share a lot of laughs!

This is for all of you Seinfeld Fans

Eli is bringing back the hairstyle that Cosmo Kramer made famous.

Cruisin'

It's only a few steps but he's doing it!

Elijah's Latest Accomplishment

One of the greatest thing about having children is that everyday they accomplish something new. No matter how big or small it is one of my greatest pleasures to see the boys making strides and discovering new things. Eli has been working for weeks now on 'cruising'. As you all know, he is the more laid back of the Lansek Boys and hasn't been really receptive to all this pushing toward walking. Long story short..he was being a little stubborn, I think. Miss Kelly even commented this past week on how stubborn he seems to be as of late! In true Eli style, after therapy on Monday he slowly started to take a few steps here and there while standing at the coffee table. Everyday since then he seems to 'cruise' a little more. (this makes Mom happy since he is becoming quite heavy to carry ALL the time) I have been trying to get some video but he is sneaky and as soon as he realizes the camera is on him he immediately sits down. I am hoping as he gains more confidence in his new ability to move we will be able to share this wonderful milestone with all of you.

Elijah enjoys his birthday gift from Nini! I think that he likes it!

Fireman's Parade

This past Saturday marked the annual Tatamy Fireman's Parade, a tradition in our little town for many years. We had a small cookout prior and enjoyed time with some friends and their children before the noise began. Elijah is absent in these photos as he was a little unsure about all the sirens and noise. Enjoy the below pictures of some great friends and their beautiful children.


Carter and Vito take Poppy's motorcycle for a spin before the parade begins.

Silly Poppy!.....those are for your ears not your nose.

This is the face of an angel....just ask his Mom.

Those sirens are loud...aren't they, Joey?It's Christi and the Vitos!!

Rider enjoys his lollipop and the firetrucks.

We definitely need some more girls in this group!

After the parade, and with our hearing still intact, we headed down the street to enjoy the carnival and of course some fries and funnel cake! Truly a great day!!
