The rest of our weekend

Dan found his way home to us yesterday! The morning was rainy, so we spent time inside for a change. Elijah helped Dan pay the bills..



..and then got caught up on some work of his own..





Then we bought a new rug at Ikea that makes our living room look fun and also that covers up the disgustingly dirty carpet. And of course we couldn't go to Ikea without stopping by the MOA because Elijah somehow knows the exact GPS location of the Mall of America and starts saying, "MALL! MALL! MALL!" when we are within two miles of it. I have no idea how or why, but it's strangely and totally true. So we went to the mall for a carousel ride and for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. The "rain storms" and the loud elephants were a bit scary for him this time. The carousel ride was an absolute hit.



My mom will be in town this week from California, so we are getting ready to spend some time with her. She has never met Elijah, so it will be fun to see the two of them together.

I realized yesterday that I haven't given a medical/PT/speech/developmental (etc.) update on Elijah in a while, so I will work on that this week.

Here is a fun photo I ran across this weekend. Elijah must have been about nine months old here. I remember how cute I thought it was that he fell asleep with a giant spoon in his hand.
