old friends and a ferry ride!

Eli pic of the week. He is 8 1/2 weeks now! We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I can't wait to see how much he weighs now!

Last Thursday, Dan and I got to have dinner with one of our favorite families...the Fuch's! We have known them since Dan and I began dating. They were really involved in RUF at the University of Washington. They have put in many hours of loving on college kids. The amount of love and support they have given to us is immeasurable. They have been so good to us!!! They have given us much wisdom through both premarital and marital counseling. They are responsible for much of the growth in our marriage during the first year. Marilyn even made my wedding dress!


Anyways, it was so good to be with them and spend time catching up. Elijah got spoiled rotten while Marilyn held him all night. He just stole her heart.
Here is Eli with grandpa Robbins.


On Friday, we went on a ferry over to Bainbridge Island to see Dan's family. It was Eli's first ferry ride. Dan's brother Will from NYC poses with Dan and Eli. Will got pretty good at bouncing Eli to sleep. He is a good uncle.


As you can see, it was a windy ride!


Pictures from the ferry:


Eli with his great grandpa Todd.

Eli with great grandma Todd.

On Saturday, Eli and I had lunch with the Partain's. Amos did a great job being a good cousin and helped me push Eli in the stroller.


And now, introducing Ezra!!! I love this face! And no, he is not Asian....it was a windy day and his eyes were just squinting.



The little Ribera family.

Amos, Eli and Ezra! The three amigos.


That's all for now....
