Update...

I can't believe it is Wednesday already...Thought I would give an update on some things that have happened over the last week or so.

We had company this past weekend, which was really nice. Allison, Zach, and Amanda came to see us and we really enjoyed their visit, and I know they enjoyed getting to see Lexi and Eli, as well.

Lexi has had 2 soccer games recently - one on Saturday and one this past Monday. They won both of the games, and Lexi scored several goals in each one. She still is really enjoying it and it is fun for us too! She has another game next Monday. GO GALAXY!!! She also is loving Private Kindergarten. She had "homework" for the first time last week, and wanted to do it right away when she got home. I am glad she is so eager about school...reminds me a little (okay a lot) of myself when I was her age! She brought home her first set of spelling words this week, so we are working on them. She pretty much already has them down - I, We, My, Can, Is, and A.

Eli just continues to grow! He is getting to be such a big boy. It is so hard to believe that he is almost 4 months old (10/6). He is always so happy and when I'm having a bad day at work, his big smiles and laughs are just the medicine I need to keep me going.

Our Little Ham...

Here is a little video of our sweet boy giving Mommy big smiles and laughs. He is such a little ham. We have a video monitor in his room, and everytime we put him in his bed, he stares at the camera like he is on TV. It is hysterical. The video is a little grainy, as I did it with my cell phone!

Many Firsts...

Well, I made it back from my working trip to Tampa yesterday, and Greg survived Mr. Mom duties! We are both extremely tired, but are making it!

Thought I would let you all know of some firsts happening around the Townsen household. First of all, Eli rolled over on 8/25 for the first time from his belly to his back, but I just now was able to capture a picture of it. He is such a big boy and continues to grow everyday. It amazed me how much he grew in just 3 days while I was out of town. He is 3 months TODAY! Happy Birthday precious baby!!

Eli on his tummy on the way over to his back!

Look what a big boy I am!

Eli supported his Sissy today at soccer, and looks like he had a great time!

Second of all, Lexi played her very first soccer game today and did SO awesome! She scored 3 goals, and assisted on 2 more! We couldn't be more proud of her! Two of the little girls would hardly play, so Lexi played the whole game with the exception of about 5 minutes. For her to be such a girly girl, she really got after it on the field! She told me after the game was over that Toby would be very proud of her. For those of you who don't know Toby, he is one of our good friends, who has a little boy, Brett, that has always been Lexi's closest boy friend. They have practically grown up together. To make a long story short, Toby and Brett are big time soccer players, so she knew that they would be really proud of her even though they weren't there to watch since they had their own game today!
