Short But Sweet

Last Saturday (April 17), we celebrated Eliana's two month marker by heading down to Portland. We left Saturday and came back Sunday - she was a trooper in the car and slept most of the way. I had a great time at Lindsey's shower and we had a wonderful time at Ian and Steph's - thank you for hosting breakfast! Eliana was so lucky to also meet the Franklins while we were there (I was too slow on the draw for the camera, darn!). The trip was less than 24 hours and there are so many friends to visit in Portland - it seems like we never have enough time....but the next trip we need to meet up with the Moehls, Allaire & Ben and Drew & Brittany. Sorry we didn't get to see you this time!

On another note, I need to mark this down in Eliana's baby book, but she was kicked out of her first bar last weekend!! Nate had taken her during the shower since he wanted to hang out as he was in NYC last week...well, he and Matt went to a bar/restaurant with the other guys and according to Nate, El Belle was chill the first hour, took a bottle and then started to get fussy. She's a baby, right? Babies get fussy. Mind you, there were tons of other kids in the restaurant at this point. She started to cry and the waitress came over to Nate and said, "About the baby...." So, Nate had to leave with little punkin. Thanks, miss grumpy waitress!!

Thanks for hosting such a fun breakfast, Max!!

Here's a belated thanks to the Tydemans for making the drive all the way to Seattle to meet Eliana when she was born (again, too slow with the camera).
