Here is a photo of Eli on Thanksgiving day in my grandparents' dilapidated courtyard. It was a good day despite the rushing around! He thoroughly enjoyed all the foods traditionally served at family Thanksgiving, as we figured he would.
Thankfully I could borrow my parents' d40 to capture some photos via DSLR but I am anxiously awaiting my new lens to arrive for use on Christmas. It should come tomorrow!
Eli also had his 15 month check up on Monday. It was delayed due to rescheduling because Rob has a new job, again, and so the insurance didn't go into effect until December 1. Naturally, though, the insurance cards didn't arrive in time (still don't have them...grr) but luckily his pediatrician's office was understanding and I can just call in the information when I get them. Anyway, Eli is 33 inches tall and 24 lbs 5 oz. When I entered this information in the WHO calculator that puts him in the 97th percentile for height and the 81st percentile for weight. Little boy is moving his way back to the top of the charts!
On this same day, I got a flat tire. Like, completely flat and from driving on it I had to get a new tire entirely. I have performance tires so I was severely dreading paying for a new tire (expecting anywhere from $100-$200) on top of all the camera stuff I just dropped hundreds of dollars on and the new Xbox that Rob just had to have and then, obviously, Christmas shopping for everyone.
My dad came and put on my spare and I drove to my mechanic, who dropped me off at my parents' house (he's right down the street from them). He dropped off my car several hours later after the tire shipment had come in and left no bill but called and said he'd let me know what the charge was when he knew what he would be charged.
Well I will tell you yesterday evening he called and said the bill would be $32.56!!! When I went in to pay it today I found he only charged me from labor and a $10 part I needed for the tire. So, I do actually think my mechanic is the best.
aww what a cutie.. love his sweater.
