Week 5

July 23-July 29, 2010

We really started to get out and about when Ross and Janet were there. We decided to drive up to Lake Barcis about an hour from our house. We were there just about a year ago when we first arrived--how our lives have changed since that first hike. We walked around for a bit before settling on a lunch spot.
We followed the trail around the lake.
Janet with Porter and Evan with Eli.
Great pic of Ross and Janet.
Timer pic of all of us. It was a beautiful day to be outside--little breezy and some cloud cover.
Proud Grandpa with Eli and Nana with Porter.
Eli is just so comfy in Grandpa's arms. I just love how big that onesie is on him.
Fave pic of the family.
Nope. This one is my favorite so far.
Evan's college roommate Lonnie came to visit us as a stop on his Tour de Europe 2010. He stayed with us the last week of Ross and Janet's stay. That's his reflection in the pic below. The personalized onesies from Jillian showing E1-Porter and E2-Eli.
And the award goes to Nana and Grandpa! Why? For balancing a bundling basket of babies while Evan and I try to get the boys' attention for some pictures.
In the prosecco fields, enjoying the view.
"Please Porter will you open your eyes today for a picture?"
"Eli, I know it's time for a nap. But please just one picture?"
Nana trying to get at least one baby happy for the picture.
Prosecco grapes.
Now they are both happy but we cannot seem to get one picture with both of them looking at us, both of their eyes open, or a random hand not in front of the other one's face.
Sweet little babes.
Porter seriously slept through almost the entire photo op. Eli kept pushing further and further into Porter's side.
Sleepy P.
Eli realizing he can push against the bottom of the basket.
P still asleep. Eli giving us lots to go on!
Here's where our Benjamin Button nickname for Porter comes from.
Grandparent pic.
Family pic with our now sleeping boys.
Oh yeah Porter, now you wake up! It was a lot of work but we secured our birth announcement pictures with help from the entire family.
Trying to get a close up of the boys and us but they are so small.
Kisses all around.
Brotherly love.
