Happy Father’s Day, Dad! Thanks for everything that you’ve done for me and our whole family!

It’s not macaroni glued to a plate, but here’s a video of your grandson laughing his head off.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! We can’t wait to see you in a few weeks!

I want to thank my mother for instilling in me the concern for where one should put the apostrophe in Mother’s Day. According to this article it belongs before the s because it’s a day to celebrate your mother, not all mothers. Perhaps that also gets me off the hook for doing something for Deirdre–I just hope that Eli did something nice for her today!

Eli is getting ever closer to crawling. He can now make motions that occasionally cause him to move forward, and it’s just a matter of time before he figures out how to do it on purpose. Of course, he still really just wants to walk. He has figured out how to go from lying down to sitting up, and he is pulling himself up on his larger toys to stand. He’s got two upper and two lower front teeth now, so he’s able to start biting into his own food, which is fun to see. 

I finally bought a lawn mower. It’s a push reel mower, which is perfect for our tiny lawn. Most importantly, though, we no longer have the most unkempt lawn on the block. Deirdre is outside right now making another attempt to prepare a garden in the back yard. Apparently, it’s more complicated than digging a hole and inserting plants. Who knew?
