And it's off to the races!

We are in the process of planning a large, multi-family garage sale in a couple of weeks. We have high hopes of earning enough money to finance some large-dollar items, like say my 42 inch flat screen TV. Then of course reality sets in and I realize that I would have to sell 2000 50-cent items to reach my goal. And that's only if the little old lady from down the street doesn't haggle me down to 35 cents for my November 1987 copy of National Geographic (She's a thrifty one).

To make matters worse, Elliot has the habit of falling in love with future sale items. Our friends dropped off a rocking horse for us to sell, and sell it we have... to ourselves. So now that's 2012 items I have to sell :P -Aaron

Oh my gosh, we were given one just like that and I can't keep the Bear off of it. It is sitting on our front porch, because the thing is as big as my living room, and he wakes up every day, "Horsie ride?" And all day long this is what I hear. When we leave the house, I hear "bye bye horsie ride!" as I back down the driveway. He will be happy to learn that he has a "horsie ride" at Elliots house too now.

We had a horse just like that
and Heather especially loved it! Heather would bounce so hard we worried she would fall off, but it was her favorite..
Elliot is speaking so well and it is nice to hear he loves his Grandma
(all of us...)

mom

I love the way he says "I". It has two syllables! He is SO cute the way he leans into the word. Great Video, played it several times!

Love you guys
